    Abstract: A user may pick an item from a first inventory location, such as in a lane on a shelf, and may return it another location that is assigned to another type of item. Described are techniques to generate tidiness data that is indicative of whether an item has been returned to an inventory location assigned to that type of item. As items are taken, information about the type of item taken and its weight are stored. When an increase in weight at a lane indicates a return of an item to the lane, the weight of the return is compared to the stored weight of the items previously taken by a user. If the weights correspond to within a threshold value, the type of item associated with the stored weight is deemed to be returned and tidiness data indicative of a tidy return of the item to its appointed lane may be generated.

    Abstract: Described are systems and techniques to generate data for display to present visualizations of data acquired from sensors in a facility. The data visualizations may be used to develop, configure, administer, or otherwise support operation of the facility. In one implementation, the visualization may include a view incorporating aggregated images acquired from multiple cameras, depth data, tracking information about objects in the facility, and so forth. An analyst may use the data visualization to determine occurrence of an action in the facility such as a pick of an item, place of an item, what item was involved with an action, what user was involved with the action, and so forth. Based on the information presented by the data visualization, changes may be made to data processing parameters.

    Abstract: A user attempting to obtain information about an object can capture image information including a view of that object, and the image information can be used with a matching or identification process to provide information about that type of object to the user. In order to narrow the search space to a specific category, and thus improve the accuracy of the results and the speed at which results can be obtained, the user can be guided to capture image information with an appropriate orientation. An outline or other graphical guide can be displayed over image information captured by a computing device, in order to guide the user in capturing the object from an appropriate direction and with an appropriate scale for the type of matching and/or information used for the matching. Such an approach enables three-dimensional objects to be analyzed using conventional two-dimensional identification algorithms, among other such processes.

    Abstract: Various embodiments enable a computing device to capture multiple images (or video) of text and provide at least a portion of the same to a recognizer to separately recognize text from each image. Each of the recognized outputs will typically include one or more text strings for each image. Substrings common to each of the one or more text strings are computed and compared to each text string within each image to determine an alignment consensus for each substring within the text. A template string is generated that includes each common substring in a position corresponding to a determined alignment for a respective substring. A character frequency vote is then applied to unresolved portions and the final text string is determined by filling the unresolved spaces with the character having the highest occurrence rate for a respective space.

    Abstract: Tidiness data associated with an inventory location, such as a shelf, indicates whether an item returned to the inventory location is designated for storage at the inventory location. When an item is returned to the inventory location and a user is determined to be near the inventory location, the weight change detected at the inventory location is compared to a corresponding weight of each item in the custody of the user, such as items within cart state data associated with the user. Differences in weight between the weight change and the corresponding weight of each item in the custody of the user are calculated. Such differences may then be compared to one or more metrics, such as threshold values, to determine how well the top candidate item in the custody of the user matches the type of item designated for storage at the inventory location.
