Claim 17:
18. A method of generating annotated image data for fixed retail scanner, the method comprising:
capturing image data from a plurality of imagers during a real-time transaction in a retail environment;
communicating at least some of the image data to a decoder within the data reader for decoding an optical code on an object within the image data;
detecting an event of interest based on an analysis of image content, the event of interest being different than the decoding of the optical code;
generating annotations for at least some of the image data based on an analysis of image content of the image data, wherein the annotations for the annotated image data includes:
information associated with the object being identified within the image; and
an event label including a description of the detected event of interest;

creating annotated image data with the annotations and the image data; and
transmitting the annotated image data to a remote system that is external to the fixed retail scanner for additional analysis or manual inspection.
