Abstract: An automated checkout system modifies received images of machine-readable labels to improve the performance of a label detection model that the system uses to decode item identifiers encoded in the machine-readable labels. For example, the automated checkout system may transform subregions of an image of a machine-readable label to adjust for distortions in the image's depiction of the machine-readable label. Similarly, the automated checkout system may identify readable regions within received images of machine-readable labels and apply a label detection model to those readable regions. By modifying received images of machine-readable labels, these techniques improve on existing computer-vision technologies by allowing for the effective decoding of machine-readable labels based on real-world images using relatively clean training data.

Abstract: An automated checkout system accesses an image of an item inside a shopping cart and a location of the shopping cart within a store. The automated checkout system identifies a set of candidate items located within a threshold distance of the location of the shopping cart based on an item map. The item map describes a location of each item within the store and the location of each candidate item corresponds to a location of the candidate item on the item map. The automated checkout system inputs visual features of the item extracted from the image to a machine-learning model to identify the item by determining a similarity score between the item and each candidate item of the set of candidate items. After identifying the item, the automated checkout system displays a list comprising the item and additional items within the shopping cart to a user.
