Abstract: Described are systems and methods for detecting objects using calibrated imaging devices and obfuscating, in real-time or near real time, portions of the video data to protect the privacy of operators represented in the video data. For example, a position of an operator within a fulfillment center may be determined or tracked in video data and the pixels representative of that operator may be obfuscated using pixilation and/or other techniques so that a reviewing agent that is viewing the video data cannot determine the identity of the operator. Such obfuscation may be performed in real-time or near real-time using automated processing. In addition, only portions of the video data may be obfuscated so that events (e.g., item picks, item place) and/or other objects represented in the video data are still viewable to the reviewing agent.

Abstract: Techniques for employing user interfaces to output information indicative of events occurring in an inventory facility, and receive feedback from a human regarding the events are described herein. In one implementation, an event may take place in an inventory facility, such as a customer taking an item from an inventory location, returning an item to an inventory location, and so forth. An automated system of an inventory management system may process sensor data collected by sensors in the inventory facility to determine details of the event. In some examples, the inventory management system is unable to determine with a high level of confidence what occurred during the event. The inventory management system may provide the sensor data to a human associate through an associate interface, and receive input regarding details of the event from the human associate through the associate interface.

Abstract: This disclosure describes interactive data processing systems configured to facilitate selection by a human associate of tentative results generated by an automated system from sensor data. In one implementation, an event may take place in a materials handling facility. The event may comprise a pick or place of an item from an inventory location, movement of a user, and so forth. The sensor data associated with the event is processed by an automated system to determine tentative results associated with the event. In some situations, an uncertainty may exist as to which of the tentative results accurately reflects the actual event. The system may then determine whether the event is to be merged with one or more temporally and spatially proximate events and, if so, the sensor data and tentative results for the merged event is sent to a human associate. The associate may select one of the tentative results.

Abstract: Technologies for determining, displaying, and leveraging reasons to buy for categories of items. Aspects (reasons to buy) may be predetermined for categories of items from a corpus of item information. For each item in a category, community-sourced content (e.g., customer reviews) may be identified for (aligned to) each aspect, and relevant comments may be extracted from the content. The comments may be analyzed, for example according to sentiment, to provide scoring and summary statistics for the aspects. Items may be ranked according to the summary statistics. The aspects for an item may be displayed, with extracted comments and/or summary statistics provided for each aspect. Items in a category or across categories may be compared according to the aspects. Aspects may be used in searches for items within categories to filter the items according to one or more of the aspects.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling physical retail stores and other facilities to implement automated-checkout techniques for the purchase of customizable and/or made-to-items items by customers of the stores and/or facilities. For example, the described systems may enable a retail store to implement technology where users are able to order customizable items from an ordering location, an inventory location, or an associate of the facility, and exit the store without performing manual checkout of the items. The systems described herein thus enable customized retail facilities, as opposed to a retail facility that allows automated-checkout only for prepackaged-type or otherwise non-customizable merchandise.
