摘要：An automated object detection system and method is disclosed. The

automated detection system uses an imaging apparatus (400), such as a bar code reader,to determine if an object (600) is located at a predetermined location. The automated

object detection system has a reference surface (258) with a target (270) located on thereference surface (258). The imaging apparatus (400) is positioned relative to thereference surface (258) so as to image the target (270). The automated object detectionsystem is adapted to have objects (600) located in a light path (130) between the target(270) and the imaging apparatus (400) so as to block the target (270) from being imaged.If the imaging apparatus (400) is able to image the target (270), the automated opticaldetection system may determine that no object (600) is located between the target (270)and the imaging apparatus (400). If the imaging apparatus (400) is unable to image thetarget (270), the automated optical detection system may determine that an object (600)is located between the target (270) and the imaging apparatus (400).
