Abstract
Objects in a facility, such as users or totes, may be tracked as the object moves within the facility. An object representation of the object may be detected using image data. Apparent motion of the object representation may also be detected based on changes within the image data over time, which can help determine movement data for the object representation. However, the identity of the object representation may not be known. Using data from motion sensors in a device, movement data for the device can be generated. Thereafter, the movement data determined using the image data and the movement data determined using the data from the motion sensors in the device are compared for a possible match. If a match is found, an identifier of the device may then be associated with the object representation in the image data for tracking purposes.
