    Abstract: Sensors in a facility generate sensor data associated with a region of the facility, which can be used to determine a 3D location of an object in the facility. Some sensors may sense overlapping regions of the facility. For example, a first sensor may generate data associated with a first region of the facility, while a second sensor may generate data associated with a second region of the facility that partially overlaps the first region. Sensors may fail at times as determined from sensor output data or status data. In response to identifying a failed sensor, an undetected region corresponding to the failed sensor is identified, as well as a substitute sensor that partially senses the undetected region. Sensor data from the substitute sensor, such as 2D data, is acquired and used to estimate a 3D location of an object in the undetected region.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and techniques for detecting certain activity in image data, such as frames of video data. For example, the systems and techniques may create and utilize an activity classifier for detecting and classifying certain human activity in video data of a facility. In some instances, the classifier may be trained to identify, from the video data, certain predefined activity such as a user picking an item from a shelf, a user returning an item to a shelf, a first user passing an item to a second user, or the like. In some instances, the techniques enable activity detection using only video data, rather than in addition to data acquired by other sensors.
