Abstract: Described is a multiple-camera system for use in capturing images of users within a materials handling facility and processing those images to monitor the movement of users. For large materials handling facilities, a large number of cameras may be required to monitor the facility. Processing of the data generated from a large number of cameras becomes difficult. The implementations described herein include a hierarchy that allows image data from any number of cameras within a materials handling facility to be processed without substantially increasing the processing time needed or sacrificing processing capabilities.

Abstract: The accuracy of a text recognition process can be improved using a set of semantic boosting rules, as may be contained in a sequence or other such arrangement. When text is output from a text recognition process, that text can have alternatives and confidence values for different characters or portions of the string. In order to improve the accuracy, this data can be processed using the organized rules, where rules are applied as long as any preconditions for that rule are satisfied, and each rule has the ability to modify the confidence values or modify one or more of the alternatives. When a result it produced with a minimum confidence level, or all applicable rules have been applied, the result can be provided as a refined text output of the recognition process.

Abstract: Where an event is determined to have occurred at a location within a vicinity of a plurality of actors, imaging data captured using cameras having the location is processed using one or more machine learning systems or techniques operating on the cameras to determine which of the actors is most likely associated with the event. For each relevant pixel of each image captured by a camera, the camera returns a set of vectors extending to pixels of body parts of actors who are most likely to have been involved with an event occurring at the relevant pixel, along with a measure of confidence in the respective vectors. A server receives the vectors from the cameras, determines which of the images depicted the event in a favorable view, based at least in part on the quality of such images, and selects one of the actors as associated with the event accordingly.

Abstract: Sensors in a facility generate sensor data associated with a region of the facility, which can be used to determine a 3D location of an object in the facility. Some sensors may sense overlapping regions of the facility. For example, a first sensor may generate data associated with a first region of the facility, while a second sensor may generate data associated with a second region of the facility that partially overlaps the first region. Sensors may fail at times as determined from sensor output data or status data. In response to identifying a failed sensor, an undetected region corresponding to the failed sensor is identified, as well as a substitute sensor that partially senses the undetected region. Sensor data from the substitute sensor, such as 2D data, is acquired and used to estimate a 3D location of an object in the undetected region.

Abstract: Described is a multiple-camera system and process for determining an item involved in an event. For example, when a user picks an item or places an item at an inventory location, image information for the item may be obtained and processed to identify the item involved in the event and associate that item with the user.

Abstract: Described is a multiple-camera system and process for identifying a user that performed an event and associating that user with the event. For example, when an event is detected, user patterns near the location of the event are determined, along with touch points at the location of the event. User pattern orientation and/or arm trajectories between the event location and the user pattern may be determined and processed to link the user pattern to the event, thereby confirming the association between the event and the user.

Abstract: Frames of sensor data may be obtained from many sensors arranged throughout a facility. These frames may be time synchronized to support further processing. For example, frames containing image data obtained at about the same time from many cameras within the facility may be used to create an aggregate or “stitched” view of the facility at that time. The synchronization may involve storing the frames from several sensors in buffers. A time window may be specified and used in conjunction with timestamps of the frames to select a set of sensor data from the buffers that are deemed to be synchronized data. The synchronized data may then be used for further processing.

Abstract: Systems involving a plurality of cameras with clocks may not remain time synchronized during operation. Described in this disclosure are techniques for synchronizing one or more of the clocks of a plurality of cameras or the images produced by the plurality of cameras. In one implementation, a timestamp projector produces an optical timestamp encoding data indicative of timing. One or more cameras may acquire images of a scene that include the optical timestamp. The images may be processed to recover the data indicative of timing. This data may be used to set the clock of the camera, set timestamps associated with the images for subsequent use, and so forth.

Abstract: A computing device can be configured to analyze information, such as frames captured in a video by a camera in the computing device, to determine locations of objects in captured frames using a scene-based tracking approach without individually having to track the identified objects across the captured frames. The computing device can track scenes, a global planar surface, across newly captured frames and the changes to (or transformation) the scene can be used to determine updated locations for objects that were identified in previously captured frames. Changes to the scene between frames can be measured using various techniques for estimating homographies. An updated location for the particular object in the currently captured frame can be determined by adjusting the location of the object, as determined in the previously captured frame, with respect to the transformation of the scene between the previously captured frame and the currently captured frame.

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.
