Abstract
Cameras having storage fixtures within their fields of view are programmed to capture images and process clips of the images to generate sets of features representing product spaces and actors depicted within such images, and to classify the clips as depicting or not depicting a shopping event. Where consecutive clips are determined to depict a shopping event, features of such clips are combined into a sequence and transferred, along with classifications of the clips and a start time and end time of the shopping event, to a multi-camera system. A shopping hypothesis is generated based on such sequences of features received from cameras, along with information regarding items detected within the hands of such actors, to determine a summary of shopping activity by an actor, and to update a record of items associated with the actor accordingly.
