compare the features associated with the scanned item with the image of the potential non-scanned item; and

trigger an actual non-scan if the features of the scanned item do not substantially match the image of the potential non-scanned item.

2. The non-scan detect system according to claim 1 , wherein the non-scan detect module, when operated, causes the non-scan detect system to:

detect an object not associated with the potential non-scanned item; and

remove the object not associated with the potential non-scanned from the image of the potential non-scanned item.

3. The non-scan detect system according to claim 2 , wherein the non-scan detect module, when operated, causes the non-scan detect system to: detect a portion of a cashier moving the potential non-scanned item across the scanner device to detect the object not associated with the potential non-scanned item includes.

4. The non-scan detect system according to claim 2 , wherein the non-scan detect module, when operated, causes the non-scan detect system to:
