    摘要: A device configured to detect a triggering event at a platform and to capture a depth image of items on the platform using a three-dimensional (3D) sensor. The device is further configured to determine an object pose for each item on the platform and to identify one or more cameras from among a plurality of cameras based on the object pose for each item on the platform. The device is further configured to capture one or more images of the items on the platform using the identified cameras and to identify items within the one or more images based on features of the items. The device is further configured to identify a user associated with the identified items on the platform, to identify an account that is associated with the user, and to associate the identified items with the account of the user.

    摘要: An image sensor is positioned such that a field-of-view of the image sensor encompasses at least a portion of a rack storing items. The image sensor generates angled-view images of the items stored on the rack. A tracking subsystem determines that a person is within a threshold distance of the rack and receives image frames of the angled-view images. A pixel position of a wrist of the person is determined in at least a subset of the received image frames, thereby determining a set of pixel positions of the wrist. An aggregated wrist position is determined based on the set of pixel positions. If the aggregated wrist position is determined to correspond to a position on a shelf of the rack, a trigger signal is provided indicating a shelf-interaction event has occurred.
