  • METHOD FOR TRACKING AND CHARACTERIZING PERISHABLE GOODS IN A STORE
    Publication number: 20200111053
    Abstract: One variation of a method for tracking fresh produce in a store includes: accessing a first hyper-spectral image, of a produce display in a store, recorded at a first time; extracting a first spectral profile from a first region of the first hyper-spectral image depicting a first set of produce units in the produce display; identifying a first varietal of the first set of produce units; characterizing qualities (e.g., ripeness, bruising, spoilage) of the first set of produce units in the produce display based on the first spectral profile; and, in response to qualities of the first set of produce units in the produce display deviating from a target quality range assigned to the first varietal, generating a prompt to audit the first set of produce units in the produce display.

  • CONTEXT AWARE SELECTIVE BACKLIGHTING TECHNIQUES
    Publication number: 20190302885
    Abstract: Context aware backlighting techniques include determining a focal point of a display space based on a user display context. The user display context represents an area of interest on the monitor.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING MODEL-BASED CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS
    Publication number: 20190080248
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, resolved exceptions information regarding resolved exceptions may be obtained. The resolved exceptions information may indicate the resolved exceptions and, for each resolved exception of the resolved exceptions, a set of attributes of a transaction for which the resolved exception was triggered. The resolved exceptions information may be provided as input to a prediction model to obtain multiple decision trees via the prediction model. Each decision tree of the multiple decision trees may comprise nodes and conditional branches, each node of the nodes of the decision tree indicating a probability of a dividend-related classification for a transaction that corresponds to the node. A decision tree may be obtained from the multiple decision trees.
