System and method for anti-shoplifting in self-checkout

A method for self-checkout, comprising:

• initiating, by a computing device, a self-checkout event;
• instructing, by the computing device, an imaging device to capture video frames of a region of interest (ROI), wherein the ROI comprises a table region for placing a product, and the table region comprises a scanning region for scanning the product;
• tracking, by the computing device, the product in the video frames;
• recording, by the computing device, scanning status and location status of the product, wherein the scanning status comprises scanned and unscanned, and the location status comprises in the table region, and out of the table region but within the ROI;
• in response to receiving a scanning signal from a scanner when the product is placed in the scanning region, recording, by the computing device, scanning status of the product as scanned;
• calculating a shoplifting risk score based on a number of the product having the scanning status of unscanned and disappears from the table region or the ROI;
• and
• providing a shoplifting warning when the shoplifting risk score is greater than a predetermined value.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable code, wherein the computer executable code, when executed at a processor of a computing device, is configured to:

• initiate a self-checkout event;
• instruct an imaging device to capture video frames of a region of interest (ROI), wherein the ROI comprises a table region for placing a product, and the table region comprises a scanning region for scanning the product;
• track the product in the video frames;
• record scanning status and location status of the product, wherein the scanning status comprises scanned and unscanned, and the location status comprises in the table region, and out of the table region but within the ROI;
• in response to receiving a scanning signal from a scanner when the product is placed in the scanning region, record scanning status of the product as scanned;
• calculate a shoplifting risk score based on a number of the product having the scanning status of unscanned and disappear from the table region or the ROI;
• and
• provide a shoplifting warning when the shoplifting score is greater than a predetermined value.
