Abstract
A checkout terminal is provided. The checkout terminal comprises a camera array, a display device, a weight scale, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to identify, based at least on images captured by the camera array, product identifiers associated with a plurality of different items placed in a placement area and on the weight scale, determine a combined weight of the plurality of different items based on product weight information stored in a product database, retrieve a weight measurement measured by the weight scale, detect for unaccounted items based on comparing the combined weight the plurality of different items and the weight measurement, and in the event that an unaccounted item is detected, display, via the display device, instructions to move one or more items to identify the unaccounted item.
