Abstract:
A system includes a sensor, a weight sensor, and a tracking subsystem. The tracking subsystem receives an image feed of top-view images generated by the sensor and weight measurements from the weight sensor. The tracking subsystem detects an event associated with an item being removed from a rack in which the weight sensor is installed. The tracking subsystem determines that a first and second person may be associated with the event. After the item exits the rack, the subsystem tracks the item and calculates a velocity of the item as it is moved through the space. The subsystem identifies, based on the calculated velocity, a frame in which the velocity of the item is less than a threshold velocity. The subsystem determines whether the first or second person is nearer the item in the identified frame. If the first person is nearer, the item is assigned to the first person.
