Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for tracking objects in a store. One of the methods includes receiving, by one or more first computing devices, data captured by one or more sensors in the store; identifying, by the one or more first computing devices, a plurality of objects based on the received data, wherein the identified objects comprise one or more persons and one or more product items; extracting, by the one or more first computing devices, a plurality of features associated with each of the identified objects; generating, by the one or more first computing devices, a digest comprising information of the extracted features associated with the identified objects; and sending, by the one or more first computing devices, the digest to one or more second computing devices for processing.
