  • Publication number: 20240087144
    Abstract: A weight sensor includes a plurality of load cells. A first load cell is configured to produce a first electric current based on a force experienced by the first load cell. A second load cell is configured to produce a second electric current based on a force experienced by the second load cell. A third load cell is configured to produce a third electric current based on a force experienced by the third load cell. And a fourth load cell is configured to produce a fourth electric current based on a force experienced by the fourth load cell.

  • Patent number: 11823396
    Abstract: A scalable tracking system includes a camera subsystem, a weight subsystem, and a central server. The camera subsystem includes cameras that capture video of a space, camera clients that determine local coordinates of objects in the captured videos, and a camera server that determines the physical positions of objects in the space based on the determined local coordinates. The weight subsystem determines when items were removed from shelves. The central server determines which object in the space removed the items based on the physical positions of the objects in the space and the determination of when items were removed.

  • Patent number: 11580748
    Abstract: A scalable tracking system processes video of a space to track the positions of objects within a space. The tracking system determines local coordinates for the objects within frames of the video and then assigns these coordinates to time windows based on when the frames were received. The tracking system then combines or clusters certain local coordinates that have been assigned to the same time window to determine a combined coordinate for an object during that time window.

  • Patent number: 11580749
    Abstract: A scalable tracking system processes video of a space to track the positions of people within a space. The tracking system determines local coordinates for the people within frames of the video and then assigns these coordinates to time windows based on when the frames were received. The tracking system then combines or clusters certain local coordinates that have been assigned to the same time window to determine a combined coordinate for a person during that time window.

  • Patent number: 11501453
    Abstract: A camera array for a scalable tracking system includes cameras that are communicatively coupled to camera clients. The cameras are arranged in a grid such that no camera is directly adjacent in the same row or column of the grid to another camera that is communicatively coupled to the same camera client. Cameras that are arranged along a diagonal of the grid are communicatively coupled to the same camera client.
