Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system and method for identifying items. The method includes scanning a first item using a first barcode scanner and a second barcode scanner and determining, based on signals from the first barcode scanner and the second barcode scanner, a first two-dimensional light grid indicating where the first item broke beams of the first barcode scanner and the second barcode scanner. The method also includes predicting, using a machine learning model and based on the first two-dimensional light grid, a first category for the first item, receiving, from a camera, an image of the first item, and comparing the image of the first item to a first set of images assigned to the first category to determine an identity of the first item.
