Abstract
During operation, a facility may utilize many sensors, such as cameras, to generate sensor data. The sensor data may be processed by an inventory management system to track objects, determine the occurrence of events at the facility, and so forth. At any given time, some of these sensors may fail to provide timely data, may fail to provide any data, may generate inaccurate data, and so forth. Described are techniques to determine failure of sensors and adjust operation of the inventory management system to maintain operability during sensor failure.
