  • Techniques for generating collection of images
    Patent number: 12417431
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for retrieving images based on detecting events. For instance, system(s) may detect an event, such as an event associated with a collection of images for an item. Based on detecting the event, the system(s) may determine an area within a facility, such as an inventory location, for retrieving image data. The system(s) may then determine one or more imaging devices that have field(s) of view of the area. Additionally, the system(s) may score the imaging device(s) based on visibility data associated with the imaging device(s). The system(s) may also determine occlusion data for image data generated by the imaging device(s). Using the scores and the occlusion data, the system(s) may then select image data that represents the area. The system(s) may then store the image data in one or more data stores, such as with the collection of images.
