    摘要： Techniques are presented for controlling views of plurality of imaging units, where each imaging unit outputs a feed comprising video. A set of parameters are determined, and the set of parameters defines a given selected view of a region able to be visually covered by the plurality of imaging units. The given selected view is one of a plurality of predetermined selected views of the region. Each of the plurality of selected views corresponds to a portion of the region and to one or more of the imaging units able to visually cover the portion of the region. Further, each selected view is defined by a corresponding set of parameters. It is determined which of the one or more feeds correspond to the given selected view, and the one or more feeds that correspond to the given selected view are output.

    摘要： The present invention provides a solution for controlling checkout throughput. Specifically, under the present invention a set of attributes of an item will be obtained. An analysis of the set of attributes will then be performed to determine whether an inconsistency exists based on a tolerance threshold. Such analysis can include, for example, comparing the weight of the item to its expected weight. This can help determine if a mistake has been made or fraud has been committed. Whether an inconsistency is observed is based on a tolerance threshold. For example, a certain deviation (i.e., the tolerance threshold) from an expected value could be allowed to could be allowed to reduce errors during the checkout process and thereby increase checkout throughput. As such, the present invention allows the tolerance threshold to be tuned based on a desired checkout throughput.

    摘要翻译： 本发明提供了一种用于控制检验吞吐量的解决方案。 具体地说，在本发明中，将获得一组物品的属性。 然后将执行对该组属性的分析，以基于公差阈值确定是否存在不一致。 这种分析可以包括例如将物品的重量与其预期重量进行比较。 这可以帮助确定是否发生了错误或已经犯了欺诈。 观察到不一致是基于公差阈值。 例如，可以允许从期望值的一定偏差（即，容限阈值）被允许在结算过程期间减少错误，从而增加结帐吞吐量。 因此，本发明允许基于期望的结算吞吐量来调整公差阈值。

    摘要： Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for deterring checkout fraud comprising a camera (e.g., still, video, etc.) that is located near (overhead) a scanner used to scan a barcode of an item being purchased. Specifically, the barcode of the item is scanned and an image of the item is recorded. It is then determined whether the identity of the item as determined based on the barcode is consistent with its appearance as determined from the image. If not, a discrepancy is registered. It is then determined whether the discrepancy is due to fraud (e.g., theft) or device error. In the case of the latter, the system can be updated to prevent a repeat of the error. In either event, the scan, the image and a shopping event corresponding to the scan and image can be logged for future analysis and/or learning.

    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.

    摘要： A novel system and method of treating the output of moving cameras, in particular ones that enable the application of conventional “static camera” algorithms, e.g., to enable the continuous vigilance of computer surveillance technology to be applied to moving cameras that cover a wide area. According to the invention, a single camera is deployed to cover an area that might require many static cameras and a corresponding number of processing units. A novel system for processing the main video sufficiently enables long-term change detection, particularly the observation that a static object has been moved or has appeared, for instance detecting the parking and departure of vehicles in a parking lot, the arrival of trains in stations, delivery of goods, arrival and dispersal of people, or any other application.
