Claim One:
1. A method comprising: adjusting at least one fraud-detection sensitivity threshold based on at least one threshold-setting rule; performing fraud-detection processing with regard to items presented for purchase within a transaction at a point-of-sale (POS) terminal according to at least one fraud-detection process having at least one fraud-detection sensitivity threshold that is modified by the adjusting; and wherein: one of the at least one fraud-detection processes includes processing images captured by one or more cameras of a product scanner coupled to the POS terminal to determine whether an item presented for purchase captured within at least one image has properties consistent with an item of a barcode read from the item by the product scanner, the processing providing an output measure of a likely match and an output indication of a match based on the output of a likely match in view of a fraud-detection sensitivity threshold; and the determination of whether an item presented for purchase captured within at least one image has properties consistent with an item of a barcode read from the item by the product scanner includes: processing at least one image captured by a camera of the product scanner to obtain a measurement of how likely the item is man-made; declaring the presented item as man-made or a produce item based on the measurement of how likely the item is man-made in view of a particular fraud-detection sensitivity threshold that is subject to the adjusting.
