Abstract
Techniques disclosed herein include a reviewer interface for providing random-access review of point-of-sale (POS) video, visual indicators to point to point to objects within the point-of-sale video, and/or display of interactive statistical features. The system obtains video data of point-of-sale transactions, and corresponding transaction data correlated with the video data. The system identifies and displays transaction events of interest. In one embodiment, such a display includes displaying a visual indicator positioned at a spatial location within displayed video to identify a location of an object in the displayed video that corresponds to the transaction event identified as a transaction event of interest. The system also includes functionality to display visual indicators associated with transaction data to convey magnitude or quantity of transaction events of interest. The system also includes interactive graphs and filtering criteria for displaying transaction statistics and to browse details of transaction events.
