Abstract
Self-checkout verification systems and methods are described. One aspect includes receiving a plurality of images from a camera, the images being associated with a customer self-checkout process. The images may be analyzed to detect one or more items in possession of the customer, count a first number of the items, categorize each item, and construct a first category set including the categorizing for all the items. One aspect includes receiving a point-of-sale record at a completion of the self-checkout process, the point-of-sale record including a second number of the items and a second category set including the categorizing for all the items. The first number and the second number, and the first category set and the second category set may be compared. An alert may be generated if there is a discrepancy between the first number and the second number, or the first category set and the second category set.
