    Abstract: A camera acquires an image of an item involved in an interaction, such as the item being picked or placed on a shelf by a user. The item depicted in the image is identified via item recognition using a customized neural network that uses previously trained subnetworks for a set of candidate items. The candidate items are determined based on items near a user location, items associated with a user cart, items in a shopping list or wish list associated with the user, or items otherwise associated with the user. Each previously trained subnetwork for a candidate item includes one or more reference images and corresponding reference feature data. The customized neural network uses a matching and inference network to test the image against the candidate items and provide comparison data indicative of a similarity between the item depicted in the image and one of the candidate items.

    Abstract: Techniques for label recognition and notification for streaming video from non-overlapping cameras. A stream processing service of a provider network receives a first video stream from a first camera-equipped electronic device via an API endpoint of the stream processing service. The stream processing service also receives a second video stream from a second camera-equipped electronic device an API endpoint of the stream processing service. Meanwhile, a request for label recognition and notification is received at a computer vision service of the provider network via an API endpoint of the computer vision service. In response, the computer vision service recognizes a label in a video fragment of the first camera video stream and recognizes a label in a video fragment of the second camera video stream, and then identifies whether the two labels are the same label. If so, a notification service of the provider network sends a notification indicating that the label was recognized across non-overlapping cameras.

    Abstract: A user interacts with an inventory location, such as a lane on a shelf, picking items or placing items to that inventory location. A neural network (NN) is trained using a subset of reference images to determine parameters, such as node weights. An image of the user interaction is acquired and processed by the NN to determine if an item in a test image matches an item in a candidate set of items. During use, the parameters are used to dynamically instantiate an ad hoc neural network having a graph that is based on a number of items in a candidate set. The candidate set of items may comprise items within reach of a user at the time the test image was acquired, such as on a nearby shelf or tote. The NN output indicates if the test image is deemed to match one of the candidate set of items.
