A system for anomaly detection in a self-checkout environment, comprising a processing unit for receiving transaction data from a self-checkout terminal: characterising an activity based on a set of features extracted from the received transaction data; defining a plurality of active intervals for each characterised activity; determining a meta-feature vector for each defined active interval of the plurality of active intervals; comparing each meta feature vector with a predefined set of vectors; and determining an anomaly based on the comparison.

Methods and apparatus for anomaly detection in self-checkout retail environments

A POS terminal for a retail environment, comprising a data acquisition device for generating event data from a user scan of a product along a scanning path of the POS terminal, said path comprising an entry point and an exit point; and a processing unit for receiving at least a portion of event data from the data acquisition device and process the event data according to a set of predefined rules, to determine a control parameter for the POS terminal, generate a user alert based on the control parameter and communicate the user alert to the end user; the data acquisition device comprising: a universal product code, U PC, scanner; a plurality of illumination units arranged along the scanning path for illuminating the product; a plurality of sensors for sensing event data including a shape, size and volume of the product and a parameter of a hand of the user as the product is scanned along the scanning path.

A virtual management system comprises video cameras, and various other sensors that acquire event data indicative relating to the processing of stock. This data is passed to a local data collection device that aggregates the event data and passes it via a network to a number of remote data processing modules. The event data is allocated to each of the data processing modules based upon their assigned tasks by a virtual manager agent. A data processing module receives the aggregated event data from the local data collection device via a network and processes the event data according to a set of pre-defined rules. The data processing module generates an alert in response to the processing of the event data indicating that a predefined event has occurred, and transmits the alert to a remote device associated with an employee.
