Visual recognition and sensor fusion weight detection system and method

A method, comprising:

• tracking, by a system, objects and motions within a selected area of a store based on one or more sensors or cameras within the store;
• in response to detecting a presence of a customer carrying at least one item within the selected area, activating, by the system, a computing device positioned within the selected area to measure a weight of the at least one item;
• weighing the at least one item using the computing device
• obtaining, by the system, identifying information of the customer and the at least one item carried by the customer;
• and
• transmitting, by the system, the weight of the at least one item, the identifying information of the customer and the at least one item to the computing server system via the communication network.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions for a system deployed in a communication network, the instructions being configured for:

• tracking objects and motions within a selected area of a store based on one or more sensors or cameras within the store;
• in response to detecting a presence of a customer carrying at least one item within the selected area, activating a computing device positioned within the selected area to measure a weight of the at least one item;
• weighing the at least one item using the computing device;
• obtaining identifying information of the customer and the at least one item carried by the customer;
• and
• transmitting the weight of the at least one item, the identifying information of the customer and the at least one item to the computing server system via the communication network.
