Abstract:
An object tracking system includes a sensor, a weight sensor, and a tracking system. The sensor is configured to capture a frame of at least a portion of a rack within a global plane for a space. The tracking system is configured to detect a weight decrease on the weight sensor. The tracking system is further configured to receive the frame of the rack, to determine a pixel location for a person, to determine the person is within a predefined zone associated with the rack. The tracking system is further configured to identify the item associated with the weight sensor and to add the identified item to a digital cart associated with the person.
