  "textContent": "Imaging devices, systems, and methods for capturing and processing images, by using multiple distance determinations to set the focal position of variable-focus lens are provided. Imaging devices include a low-resourced depth sensor detecting an object distance over a first field of view (FOV). The imaging devices include an imaging sensor determining an object distance over a second FOV using parallax detection of an aiming pattern. Processors are configured to compare the two distances and, in response, to discordance perform a series of mitigations to determine a desired distance. The variable-focus lens is then set to that desired distance for subsequent image capture and indicia analysis.",
