Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, a mobile apparatus for identifying items within a facility using an omnidirectional imaging system. For instance, the mobile apparatus may include a main frame, a chassis attached to the main frame, a basket that attaches to the chassis in order to prevent the basket from contacting the main frame, and an omnidirectional imaging system providing image data in and around the mobile apparatus. A user may place item(s) within a receptacle of the basket. The mobile apparatus may further include a handlebar module attached to the main frame, the handlebar module including the omnidirectional imaging system and a computing system for identifying items and events in and around the cart.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for identifying interactions and events associated with inventory locations. For instance, system(s) may receive image data representing a user interacting with an inventory location. The system(s) may then generate heatmap data indicating a first portion of the image data that represents the inventory location and feature data indicating a second portion of the image data that represents the user. Next, the system(s) may analyze the heatmap data with respect to the feature data to determine that the second portion of the image data corresponds to the first portion of the image data. As such, the system(s) may determine that the user is interacting with the inventory location. Based on the determination, the system(s) may analyze the first portion of the image data to identify an event that occurs at the inventory location, such as the user removing an item.
