Abstract
Method, computer program product, and system of visual identification of an item selected by a person during a transaction within an environment having a plurality of items. The method includes acquiring, using a visual sensor disposed within the environment, image information that includes at least a portion of the selected item, and analyzing the image information to determine a set of possible items for classifying the selected item. The method further includes selecting, based on personal profile information associated with the person, one of the set of possible items to thereby identify the selected item.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of visual identification of an item selected by a person during a transaction within an environment having a plurality of items, the method comprising:
- acquiring, using a visual sensor disposed within the environment, image information that includes at least a portion of the selected item;
- analyzing the image information to determine a set of possible items for classifying the selected item;
- and
- selecting, based on personal profile information associated with the person, one of the set of possible items to thereby identify the selected item.
A computer program product for visual identification of an item selected by a person during a transaction within an environment having a plurality of items, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation that includes:
- acquiring, using a visual sensor disposed within the environment, image information that includes at least a portion of the selected item;
- analyzing the image information to determine a set of possible items for classifying the selected item;
- and
- selecting, based on personal profile information associated with the person, one of the set of possible items to thereby identify the selected item.
A system for visual identification of an item selected by a person during a transaction within an environment having a plurality of items, the system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- at least a first visual sensor disposed within the environment and communicatively coupled with the one or more computer processors;
- and
- a memory containing program code which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, performs an operation that includes:
- acquiring, using a visual sensor disposed within the environment, image information that includes at least a portion of the selected item;
- analyzing the image information to determine a set of possible items for classifying the selected item;
- and
- selecting, based on personal profile information associated with the person, one of the set of possible items to thereby identify the selected item.
