Abstract

Described are systems for processing sensor data associated with an inventory location for the purpose of identifying stable and unstable states in the sensor data. The stable and unstable states can be determined by fitting a line or curve to a portion of the sensor data occurring during a window of time and calculating a corresponding slope value of the line or curve. By comparing the slope value of the line or curve to a threshold value, stable and unstable states can be determined for the sensor data. Once stable states have been identified, a change in sensor data can be determined and used to identify a change in quantity of items at the inventory location.
