Abstract
A hybrid checkout system that enables in-motion, multi-signal, bulk item identification is disclosed. The hybrid checkout system includes a computer vision apparatus that includes a plurality of cameras fixed at different locations relative to a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes markings that assist a user with item placement. RFID sensors are provided with the hybrid checkout apparatus. The cameras capture multiple images of items placed on the belt as the items are in motion. Each camera captures multiple images of the items captured from different vantage points as the items are in motion. In addition, the RFID sensors gather RFID data from RFID tags affixed to the items, as the items are in motion. The image data and other sensor data is provided as a multi-signal input to a machine learning model that is trained to recognize items and output item identifiers for the items. Pricing information corresponding to the item identifiers received from the model is determined and the items and their respective prices are added to a transaction record.
