Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining whether an unknown product matches a scanned barcode during a checkout process. An edge computing device or other computer system can receive, from an overhead camera at a checkout lane, image data of an unknown product that is placed on a flatbed scanning area, identify candidate product identifications for the unknown product based on applying a classification model and/or product identification models to the image data, and determine based on the candidate product identifications, whether the unknown product matches a product associated with a barcode that is scanned at a POS terminal in the checkout lane. The classification model can be used to determine n-dimensional space feature values for the unknown product and determine which product the unknown product likely matches. The product identification models can be used to determine whether the unknown product is one of the products that are modeled.
