  • Publication number: 20240054677
    Abstract: A device configured to detect a triggering event at a platform and to capture a depth image of items on the platform using a three-dimensional (3D) sensor. The device is further configured to determine an object pose for each item on the platform and to identify one or more cameras from among a plurality of cameras based on the object pose for each item on the platform. The device is further configured to capture one or more images of the items on the platform using the identified cameras and to identify items within the one or more images based on features of the items. The device is further configured to identify a user associated with the identified items on the platform, to identify an account that is associated with the user, and to associate the identified items with the account of the user.

  • Publication number: 20230076979
    Abstract: A device configured to receive a rack identifier for a rack that is configured to hold items. The device is further configured to identify a master template that is associated with the rack. The device is further configured to receive images of the plurality of items on the rack and to combine the images into a composite image of the rack. The device is further configured to identify shelves on the rack within the composite image and to generate bounding boxes that correspond with an item on the rack. The device is further configured to associate each bounding box with an item identifier and an item location. The device is further configured to generate a rack analysis message based on a comparison of the item locations for each bounding box and the rack positions from the master template and to output the rack analysis message.

  • Publication number: 20230033752
    Abstract: A method of selectively illuminating part of an electronic device includes obtaining a posture status of a hinge supporting a display cover relative to a base of the electronic device and illuminating an optical module positioned on an outer surface of the electronic device based on the hinge position of the posture status.

  • Publication number: 20220414375
    Abstract: A device configured to capture a first image of an item on a platform using a camera and to determine a first number of pixels in the first image that corresponds with the item. The device is further configured to capture a first depth image of an item on the platform using a three-dimensional (3D) sensor and to determine a second number of pixels within the first depth image that corresponds with the item. The device is further configured to determine that the difference between the first number of pixels in the first image and the second number of pixels in the first depth image is less than the difference threshold value, to extract the plurality of pixels corresponding with the item in the first image from the first image to generate a second image, and to output the second image.

  • Publication number: 20220414374
    Abstract: A device configured to receive a first encoded vector and receive one or more feature descriptors for a first object. The device is further configured to remove one or more encoded vectors from an encoded vector library that are not associated with the one or more feature descriptors and to identify a second encoded vector in the encoded vector library that most closely matches the first encoded vector based on the numerical values within the first encoded vector. The device is further configured to identify a first item identifier in the encoded vector library that is associated with the second encoded vector and to output the first item identifier.

  • Publication number: 20220414399
    Abstract: A system for refining an item identification model detects a triggering event at a platform, where the triggering event corresponds to a user placing the item on a platform. The system captures images of the item. The system extracts a set of features from at least one of the images. The system identifies the item based on the set of features. The system receives an indication that the item is not identified correctly. The system receives an identifier of the item. The system identifies the item based on the identifier of the item. The system feeds the identifier of the item and the images to the item identification model. The system retrains the item identification model to learn to associate the item to the images. The system updates the set of features based on the determined association between the item and the images.
