Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and techniques for identifying events that occur within an environment using image data captured at the environment. For example, one or more cameras may generate image data representative of a user interacting with an item on the shelf. This image data may be used to generate feature data associated with the user and the item, which may be analyzed by one or more classifiers for identifying an interaction between the user and the item. The systems and techniques may then generate interaction data, which in turn may be analyzed by one or more additional classifiers for identifying an event, such as the user picking a particular item from the shelf within the environment. Event data indicative of the event may then be used to update a virtual cart of the user.
