A system and method for digital retail marketing and couponing in a physical retail environment that includes collecting image data across a retail environment; tracking a user within the retail environment; processing the image data and detecting a customer-item interaction event in association with the user; and based in part on the customer-item interaction event, delivering content to an output interface.

Marketing and couponing in a retail environment using computer vision

A system and method applying store operational data for automated product location tracking within an environment can include collecting operational data with item identifier information, generating item event location data through a sensor monitoring system, processing the operational data and establishing a candidate item location dataset using item event location data associated with the operational data, and translating the candidate item location dataset into an item location map. Variations of the system and method can integrate with product scanning events and/or transaction data.

Automated planogram generation and usage

A system and method for interaction monitoring in a retail environment that includes executing a first monitoring system and thereby generating a first evaluation of customer selection of items; executing a second monitoring system and thereby generating a second evaluation of customer selection of items; determining monitoring alignment between the first evaluation and the second evaluation of a first customer; and triggering an action in response to the monitoring alignment.

Multifactor checkout application

A system and method for extracting uncoupled information from a user interface output that includes collecting image data; processing the image data associated with the device interface source; and exposing the result to the extracted interface representation.

Position-based visual interpretation of device interfaces

A system and method for vehicle facilitated commerce comprising: collecting a payment mechanism associated with a vehicle station at a vehicle service site; collecting image data in a defined region containing the vehicle station and a defined commerce region; initializing monitoring of at least one detected user associated with the vehicle station; monitoring commerce activity of the user, which comprises of: through CV processing of image data, detecting at least one commerce activity event involving the user and updating a checkout list associated with the user based on the commerce activity event; and executing a transaction with the payment mechanism for the checkout list.

Commerce automation for a fueling station

A system and method for computer vision assisted physical-labels functions to use functional, large format product labeling for better computer vision (CV) identification. The product labels and detection capabilities of the system and method enhance product label detection and interpretation for use with image sensing at a distance. The product labels are non-obtrusive and can mitigate changes to sizing or visual appearance of packaging of goods or products. The system and method can enable universal product labeling for vision-based commerce and other applications.

Universal product labeling for vision-based commerce

A system and method for an associative interaction framework used for user input within an interaction platform used in an environment that includes collecting image data in the environment; through computer vision analysis of the image data, classifying objects in the environment wherein a plurality of the objects are detected users; for at least one user, detecting an associative interaction event, which includes: through computer vision analysis of the image data, detecting a first object association of the one user with a first object, and initiating an associative interaction event with a set of interaction properties including properties of the user and the first object association; and executing an action response based on the associative interaction event.

Contactless user interface

A system and method for a dynamic customer checkout experience within an automated shopping environment that includes generating a virtual cart for the customer through an automatic checkout system; tracking location of the customer; generating an assessment of the virtual cart; and selecting a processing mode for the customer based in part on the assessment and executing the processing mode within at least one computing device in coordination with the location of the entity.

Dynamic customer checkout experience within an automated shopping environment

A system and method for sensor-enabled automated inventory stocking management that can include: operating a computer vision monitoring system comprising collecting image data, and identifying, by processing the image data, products and shelf space locations of the products; maintaining a shelving property map based on the products and shelf space locations identified through the computer vision monitoring system; in association with at least one request, allocating a shelf space usage option within a shelf space management database system, wherein each shelf space usage option specifies fulfillment parameters including at least one product identity and a set of shelf space placement parameters; confirming, based on processing of updated image data from the computer vision monitoring system, fulfillment of conditions defined through the fulfillment parameters of the a shelf space usage option and, in response, performing reactionary actions in the computing system.

Digitally managed shelf space marketplace

A system and method for outfitting an environment with a camera array that includes: a set of camera modules mounted and interconnected as a monitoring network within the environment; wherein each camera module instance of the set of camera modules comprises of: at least one camera, and at least a first connection port and second connection port; and wherein the camera modules of the set of camera modules serially connect through the connection ports of adjacent camera modules.

Serially connected camera rail

System and method for dynamic marketing of products that can include collecting image data; identifying a set of product instances within the environment; for each product instance of the set of product instances, analyzing image data of the product instance and thereby determining a product presentation variation associated with the product instance; detecting user-item interactions associated with the set of product instances; and analyzing user-item interactions associated with the set of product instances according to the product presentation variations.

Dynamic product marketing through computer vision

A system and method for a remote state following device that includes an electronic device with a controllable operating state; an imaging device; and control system that when targeted at a control interface interprets a visual state from the control interface, and modifies the operating state in coordination with the visual state.

Remote state following devices

A system and method for linking observed human activity on video to a user account of a preferred embodiment that includes: through a computer vision monitoring system, detecting and tracking a human as a computer vision modeled person within an environment, the computer vision monitoring system being part of a computing platform managing a user interaction experience; through at least one associative mechanism, establishing an association between the computer vision modeled person and at least one associative element and thereby associating the computer vision modeled person and a user-record linked through the associative element; and directing the user interaction experience at least in part based on the combination of the modeled person and at least the user-record.

Synchronizing computer vision interactions with a computer kiosk

A system and method for computer vision driven applications in an environment that can include collecting image data across an environment; maintaining an environmental object graph from the image data whereby maintaining the environmental object graph is an iterative process that includes: classifying objects, tracking object locations, detecting interaction events, instantiating object associations in the environmental object graph, and updating the environmental object graph by propagating change in at least one object instance across object associations; and inspecting object state for at least one object instance in the environmental object graph and executing an action associated with the object state. The system and method can be applied to automatic checkout, inventory management, and/or other system integrations.
