  • Human pose image data based returned goods processing system and related methods
    Patent number: 11869209
    Abstract: A returned goods processing system may include a camera configured to acquire human pose image data of a given user while processing a returned item. The system may also include a returned goods processing server configured to store reference human pose image data of sample users while processing returned items. The stored human pose image data may be indicative of compliance with an acceptable return processing procedure. The returned good processing server may also be configured to compare the acquired human pose image data with the stored reference human pose image data to determine compliance with the acceptable return processing procedure, and generate a notification based upon the comparing. The returned goods processing server may also be configured to perform machine learning to update the stored reference human pose image data based upon the acquired human pose image data.
