Abstract
Cameras capture images of vehicles and customers in drive-through lanes of a store. The images are processed to identify a type of vehicle, if any, and determine whether a given customer is in a proper lane associated with cars or a proper lane associated with walkups or non cars. Customers in improper lanes are instructed to move to the proper lane to place an order. The images are further processed to generate a written description of the vehicle, if any, and a written description of the customer. The written description is linked to the customer's order and is accessible to store staff for verification when collecting payment for the order and when providing the ordered items to the customer.
