Enabling frictionless shopping of products from bulk packaging

A system for identifying products removed from bulk packaging, the system comprising:

• at least one processing unit configured to:
• receive one or more images acquired by a camera arranged to capture interactions between a shopper and one or more bulk packages each configured to contain a plurality of products;
• analyze the one or more images to identify the shopper and a particular bulk package among the one or more bulk packages with which the identified shopper interacted;
• receive an output from at least one sensor configured to monitor changes associated with the particular bulk package;
• analyze the output to determine a quantity of products removed from the particular bulk package by the identified shopper;
• and
• update a virtual shopping cart associated with the identified shopper to include the determined quantity of products and an indication of a product type associated with the particular bulk package.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method for identifying products removed from bulk packaging, the method comprising:

• receiving an output from one or more spatial sensors arranged to capture interactions between a shopper and one or more bulk packages each configured to contain a plurality of products;
• analyzing the output from the one or more sensors to identify the shopper and a particular bulk package among the one or more bulk packages with which the identified shopper interacted;
• receiving an output from at least one additional sensor configured to monitor changes associated with the particular bulk package;
• analyzing the output from the at least one additional sensor to determine a quantity of products removed from the particular bulk package by the identified shopper;
• and
• updating a virtual shopping cart associated with the identified shopper to include the determined quantity of products and an indication of a product type associated with the particular bulk package.
