Abstract

Multiple images of a designated area are taken. The designated area comprises multiple items that are to be identified from the images. Depth information and Red, Green, Blue (RGB) data from each image is processed to create a point cloud for each image of the designated area. The point clouds are patched together or synchronized into a single point cloud for the designated area. Known background pixels associated with backgrounds for each image are removed from the single point cloud. The depth information and RGB data for the single point cloud is clustered together and bounding boxes are placed around each item in the single point cloud. At least the RGB data for each bounding box is provided to a machine-learning model (MLM) and the MLM returns an item code for the corresponding item. The item codes are fed to a transaction manager for a transaction associated with a customer.
