Abstract: This disclosure is directed to, in part, a processing pipeline for detecting predefined activity using image data, identifying an item-of-interest and a location of the item-of-interest across frames of the image data, determining a trajectory of the item-of-interest, and determining an identifier of the item-of-interest and an action taken with respect to the item-of-interest. The processing pipeline may utilize one or more trained classifiers and, in some instances, additional data to identify items that are placed into or removed from a tote (e.g., basket, cart, or other receptacle) by users in material handling facilities as the users move around the material handling facilities.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to item-identifying carts that may be utilized by users to automatically identify items that the users place in their carts. In addition, these carts may automatically determine the outcome of respective events that occur with respect to these identified items. For example, the carts may be configured to identify one or more items that are placed into or removed from the cart, and thereafter determine one or more actions taken with respect to the identified items and a quantity of the items involved. For example, after identifying a first item and a second item either placed into or removed from the cart, the cart may determine that the user added two instances of the first item and removed one instance of the second item. In response to making this determination, the cart may update a virtual cart of a user operating the physical cart.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to using cascading algorithms to automatically identify items placed in a tote or other receptacle utilized by users in material handling facilities as the users move around the facilities. A tote may store a database or “gallery” of item representations for all of the items that are stored in the facility that a user may place in their totes. The tote may use multiple algorithms in a cascading manner to analyze the gallery of item representations in order to iteratively narrow the search space of item representations in the gallery to determine which of the items was placed in the tote by a user. Upon identifying the item placed in the tote, the tote may add an item identifier for the item to a virtual listing of item identifiers representing items previously placed in the tote.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an item-identifying cart that may be utilized by a user in a materials handling facility to automatically identify items that the user places in their cart, and update a virtual shopping cart to include items taken by the user. The mobile cart may include four capture assemblies that are disposed proximate to each of the four corners of a basket of the cart, and oriented such that their respective optical axes are directed towards an interior of a perimeter of the top of the basket, and above the top of the basket. The capture assemblies may include proximity sensors that are used to detect movement above the top of the basket, LEDs that illuminate items, and cameras that generate image data representing the items as they are placed in, or removed from, the cart.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to item-identifying carts that may be utilized by users to automatically identify items that the users place in their carts. In order to identify the items placed into or removed from the cart, the cart may analyze image data, as well as weight data indicating a current weight estimation of a basket of the cart. The cart may include a weight sensor that generates a signal comprising a series of weight measurements of the basket of the cart. The cart may use an algorithm that calculates different mean values of different window sizes of the weight measurements of this signal and, thereafter, may calculate an average of these mean values. This average may be stored as the current weight estimation of the basket.
