Abstract
Images captured by cameras at a store or another facility are cropped to include portions of such images depicting hands. When an event of a type is determined to have occurred at a time and at a location within the facility, the cropped images are filtered based on the type, the location, and the time of the event to include only images that might depict one item within a hand of an actor. The cropped images, as filtered, are then processed to identify the item within the hand, such as by determining embeddings or other representations of the cropped images, and comparing such embeddings or other representations to embeddings or other representations of reference images of items that are available within the facility. Based on such comparisons, an item is identified as having been taken from the facility by the customer or deposited at the facility by the customer.
