  • Publication number: 20230245460
    Abstract: An order checking system includes video sensors configured to capture video footage of a monitored area located in proximity to a receipt/dispatch portal. A processing unit performs event analysis on the captured video footage, detects an entity and from a door opening event, an incoming delivery from a third-party supplier, identifies the third-party supplier and implements a check-in process for delivery persons associated therewith, detects an ingress/egress of merchandise through the receipt/dispatch portal and validates that detected delivered products matches with data regarding products that the third-party supplier should be delivering. A database stores at least a dataset of face images/logos for detecting faces/brands and a dataset of product images for identification of products. The database records an outcome of an order checking process and a check out of a delivery person at an end of a delivery.

  • Publication number: 20230206466
    Abstract: A method for tracking and identifying vehicles is disclosed that includes detecting a vehicle in a current video frame of a video stream, establishing a bounding box around the detected vehicle, calculating a measurement vector of detected vehicle including horizontal and vertical locations of the centre of the bounding box at the current time instance, calculating a plurality of predicted measurement vectors for corresponding plurality of previously detected vehicles, based on current measurement vector and previous state vectors of previously detected vehicles, calculating a plurality of first cost values for previously detected vehicles based on a distance between the current measurement vector of the detected vehicle, and predicted measurement vectors, and identifying and storing the detected vehicle as a previously detected first vehicle, when the first cost value of the previously detected first vehicle is less than a first cost threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230200569
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for adjusting a position of an order taking device in a drive-through facility. The method includes detecting a stopped vehicle in the drive-through facility, determining a location of a user in the stopped vehicle based on a class and a location of the stopped vehicle, enabling the order taking device to move towards the user location, detecting a human face in a video frame received from a video camera mounted on the order taking device, and enabling the order taking device, to move towards a location of the detected human face.

  • Patent number: 11635932
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of displaying visual information to a user that includes tracking a location of the user within a pre-defined region, determining a current display screen from a plurality of display screens installed in the pre-defined region, based on current user location, determining a current display position on the current display screen based on the current user location, wherein the current display position is at a pre-defined distance from the current user location, and displaying the visual information on the current display position.

  • Publication number: 20220414632
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a system and method of operating one or more self-checkout (SCO) terminals of a SCO environment. The system comprises one or more video sensors configured to capture a plurality of video frames. The video frames are processed by a processing unit to detect a primary subject of interest and a second subject of interest post detection of the primary subject of interest. Further, change in location and time of appearance of the primary subject of interest and the secondary subject of interest is determined, which generates a motion trigger. Based on the motion trigger, a transaction data is received which is compared with the detected secondary subject of interest. A non-scan event alert is generated based on a mismatch in the comparison of the transaction data and the detected one or more secondary subject of interest.
