Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for monitoring shopping activities using weight data in a store. One of the methods includes receiving, from one or more image sensors and one or more weight sensors, data collected by the one or more image sensors and data collected by the one or more weight sensors; identifying, based at least on the data collected by the one or more image sensors, one or more product items removed by a person from the store; calculating an expected total weight of the one or more product items based on information associated with the one or more product items stored by the computer system; determining, based on the data collected by the one or more weight sensors, an actual total weight of the one or more product items removed by the person; and verifying the actual total weight is consistent with the expected total weight.
