    摘要: The present invention provides an item scanning system in which an appearance of an item is received (e.g., at checkout). The appearance is captured with an image capture device (e.g., still frame camera, video camera, etc.) that can be collocated with a barcode scanner. In being collocated, the image capture device can be positioned proximate (e.g., near, attached to, etc.) the bar code scanner, integrated within a common housing/unit with the barcode scanner, etc. In any event, a search engine will then search a database of items based on the appearance to identify a set of items that potentially match the item. When one of the set of items is selected (e.g., by the checkout clerk), the selection will be received and stored for future investigation/auditing.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product to determine whether a product has been successfully purchased by identifying in a video record when a movement of a product adjacent to a scanner occurs, and whether the scanner did not record a purchase transaction at that time; measuring a difference in time between the time of the movement of the product and a time of another movement of a product, and determining by a trained support vector machine a likelihood that the product was successfully purchased. Alternately, the difference in time can be measured between the time of the movement of the product and a time of a transaction record, or between the time of the movement of the product and a boundary time. The support vector machine can use a radial basis function kernel and can generate a decision value and a confidence score.

    摘要: A moving object detected and tracked within a field of view environment of a 2D data feed of a calibrated video camera is represented by a 3D model through localizing a centroid of the object and determining an intersection with a ground-plane within the field of view environment. An appropriate 3D mesh-based volumetric model for the object is initialized by using a back-projection of a corresponding 2D image as a function of the centroid and the determined ground-plane intersection. Nonlinear dynamics of a tracked motion path of the object are represented as a collection of different local linear models. A texture of the object is projected onto the 3D model, and 2D tracks of the object are upgraded to 3D motion to drive the 3D model by learning a weighted combination of the different local linear models that minimizes an image re-projection error of model movement.

    摘要: A foreground object blob having a bounding box detected in frame image data is classified by a finite state machine as a background, moving foreground, or temporally static object, namely as the temporally static object when the detected bounding box is distinguished from a background model of a scene image of the video data input and remains static in the scene image for a threshold period. The bounding box is tracked through matching masks in subsequent frame data of the video data input, and the object sub-classified within a visible sub-state, an occluded sub-state, or another sub-state that is not visible and not occluded as a function of a static value ratio. The ratio is a number of pixels determined to be static by tracking in a foreground region of the background model corresponding to the tracked object bounding box over a total number of pixels of the foreground region.

    摘要: Visual content in images captured from a scene by a camera in each of a plurality of different pose settings are analyzed to determine predicted occurrences of a transaction associated with the visual content in each pose, which are compared with actual transaction occurrence data to generate performance values for each pose as a function difference between the predicted and actual transactions. Optimized poses are chosen having the best performance value, wherein a camera controller may place the camera in the optimum pose for use in monitoring the scene and generating the primitives of interest associated with the transactions.

    摘要: Images are retrieved and ranked according to relevance to attributes of a multi-attribute query through training image attribute detectors for different attributes annotated in a training dataset. Pair-wise correlations are learned between pairs of the annotated attributes from the training dataset of images. Image datasets may then be searched via the trained attribute detectors for images comprising attributes in a multi-attribute query, wherein images are retrieved from the searching that each comprise one or more of the query attributes and also in response to information from the trained attribute detectors corresponding to attributes that are not a part of the query but are relevant to the query attributes as a function of the learned plurality of pair-wise correlations. The retrieved images are ranked as a function of respective total numbers of attributes within the query subset attributes.

A model representing a plurality of modes for an activity generated from training data is retrieved. The training data includes a first plurality of measurements of a first performance of the activity over a period of time. Each of the plurality of modes is identified as one of normal and abnormal. Activity data including a second plurality of measurements of a second performance of the activity is received. A portion of the activity data is compared with the plurality of modes in the model. A notification of an abnormality in the second performance of the activity is generated in response to an identification that the portion of the activity data matches a mode in the plurality of modes identified as abnormal. Confirmation of the abnormality is requested via a user interface.

    摘要: The present invention provides an approach for rewarding customers for use of self-checkout stations and, optionally, for being self-sufficient in such use by not requiring retailer (employee) assistance. Specifically, the under the present invention, a set of service choices made by a customer during purchasing transactions are tracked. Such service choices include whether the customer elected to use self-checkout stations. In addition, a frequency of assistance needed by the customer during the purchasing transactions will be tracked. Such tracking can be accomplished using any known technology including the use of the customer loyalty cards that are assigned to specific customers. In any event, a reward can be offered to the customer if the customer elected to use self-checkout stations to complete at least a subset of the purchasing transactions, and/or if the frequency of assistance needed by the customer during the purchasing transactions fell below a predetermined threshold.
