Abstract
The present disclosure utilizes image data analysis to improve the accuracy and integrity of item characteristic information in a database. During point-of-sale (POS) transactions, a security exception may be triggered when an item's stored characteristic information, such as weight or dimensions, is found to be inaccurate or missing. By capturing images of procedures performed to resolve security exceptions, the system can analyze aspects of the individual's appearance or behavior to determine if measurement procedures are performed correctly. Measures from properly performed measurement procedures can be used to selectively update the item's characteristic information in the system, improving the accuracy and integrity the characteristic information.
