Product spaces for containers of non-discretized items are defined by sets of points in three-dimensional space. When a customer breaches or contacts a product space established for a container of the non-discretized items, video feeds representing the product space are displayed to an associate in a web page or another user interface. By interacting with the user interface, the associate may view the video feeds and make a determination as to whether the customer received any of the non-discretized items from the container, and to confirm an identity of the customer accordingly.

Detecting and confirming interactions by proximity and video

This disclosure describes interactive data processing systems configured to facilitate selection by a human associate of tentative results generated by an automated system from sensor data. In one implementation, an event may take place in a materials handling facility. The event may comprise a pick or place of an item from an inventory location, movement of a user, and so forth. The sensor data associated with the event is processed by an automated system to determine tentative results associated with the event. In some situations, an uncertainty may exist as to which of the tentative results accurately reflects the actual event. The system may then determine whether the event is to be merged with one or more temporally and spatially proximate events and, if so, the sensor data and tentative results for the merged event is sent to a human associate. The associate may select one of the tentative results.
