Abstract

Techniques are described for processing digital video data using one or more machine learning models to determine an outcome of an item placement operation within a fulfillment center environment. Video data is processed using one or more machine learning models to determine an estimated likelihood that an occurrence of a particular fulfillment center operation is depicted within the two or more instances of digital video data. Upon determining that the estimated likelihood exceeds a predefined threshold confidence level, the video data is processed using second one or more machine learning models to determine a bin placement prediction and a confidence value. A data repository for a control system for the fulfillment center environment is updated, based on the bin placement prediction and the confidence value.
