Abstract
Disclosed is a method of predicting shopping events. The method includes obtaining a first set of events from a sensor and a second set of events from a camera, wherein the camera captures one or more users in front of a shelf unit; determining whether a first timestamp from the obtained first set of events and a second timestamp from the obtained second set of events are within a same time interval; determining whether a first bin number matches a second bin number based on a determination that the first timestamp and the second timestamp are within the same time interval; and generating a shopping event for a user based on a determination that the first bin number matches the second bin number, wherein the user is associated with at least one of the obtained first set of events and the second set of events.
