Multi-factor authentication of a proof of delivery image using a color imaging for barcode and location information

An imaging device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• an imaging assembly including at least one imaging sensor having capability to capture monochromatic image data and color image data, the imaging assembly configured to capture image data of an object appearing in a field of view (FOV);
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing machine readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
• capture, via the imaging assembly, image data of the object in the FOV, the image data including decode indicia data;
• decode the decode indicia data to generate scan data associated with the object;
• responsive to decoding the decode indicia data, capture, via the imaging assembly, one or more color images of the object in the FOV;
• and
• when at least one of the one or more color images of the object in the FOV meets a predetermined criterion, automatically associate the scan data with the at least one of the one or more color images of the object in the FOV,
• wherein the computer-readable medium stores further machine readable instructions that, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to:
• retrieve global positioning system (GPS) coordinates for the imaging device;
• and
• when the at least one of the one or more color images meets the predetermined criterion, automatically associate the GPS coordinates with the scan data and the at least one of the one or more color images.
