摘要： A system and method for generating compact iris representations based on a database of iris images includes providing full-length iris codes for iris images in a database, where the full-length iris code includes a plurality of portions corresponding to circumferential rings in an associated iris image. Genuine and imposter score distributions are computed for the full-length iris codes, and code portions are identified that have a contribution that provides separation between imposter and genuine distributions relative to a threshold. A correlation between remaining code portions is measured. A subset of code portions having low correlations within the subset is generated to produce a compact iris representation.

摘要： Under the present invention, item verification is automated and expedited. Specifically, items to be purchased can be scanned by the shopper using a barcode reader (e.g., a scanner) attached to or positioned near the shopping receptacle. As items are scanned, they are identified based on their barcode and added to an item list. Item verification can then performed at checkout using imaging technology. For example, the shopping cart or shopping basket can be brought into the field of view of a computer-connected camera. The camera and computer can, working from the customer's item list developed when the items are scanned, observe each product in the receptacle and “ring it up”. If all products can be accounted for, the customer is free to leave; otherwise the customer is denied egress, informed of the problem, etc. A store employee can also be signaled to investigate. The total time required to make the decision is the time to take a picture and process it, which by human standards is very fast; faster than existing verification methods.
摘要翻译：在本发明中，项目验证是自动化和加速的。特别地，购物者可以使用附接到购物容器附近或位于购物容器附近的条形码读取器（例如，扫描器）来扫描要购买的物品。当项目被扫描时，它们根据其条形码被识别并被添加到项目列表中。然后可以使用成像技术在结帐时执行项目验证。例如，购物车或购物篮可以被带入计算机连接的相机的视野中。照相机和计算机可以在扫描物品时开发的客户项目列表中进行操作，观察插座中的每个产品并“振铃”。如果所有产品都可以核算，客户可以自由离开; 否则客户被拒绝出境，通知问题等。店员也可以被告知调查。作出决定所需的总时间是拍摄照片和处理时间，人体标准非常快; 比现有的验证方法快。

摘要： The present invention provides an approach for determining a state of a shopping receptacle. Specifically, under the present approach, an image capture device (e.g., camera) is positioned at the checkout station and/or on the shopping receptacle. The device will capture at least one image of the shopping receptacle during the checkout process and/or when the customer or checkout clerk indicates that the transaction is ready for payment (e.g., all items have been scanned or rung through). Using such image(s), a model for an empty receptacle and a knowledgebase of non-shopping items that may remain in the shopping receptacle, it is determined whether the receptacle is empty. If not, an alarm or other notification will be activated and the events can be logged.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种用于确定购物容器的状态的方法。具体地说，在目前的方法下，图像拍摄装置（例如，照相机）位于结帐台和/或购物容器上。该设备将在结帐过程期间和/或当客户或结帐店员指示交易准备好付款时（例如，所有项目已被扫描或横过）捕获购物容器的至少一个图像。使用这样的图像，空容器的模型和可能留在购物容器中的非购物物品的知识库，确定容器是否为空。如果没有，则会激活警报或其他通知，并记录事件。

摘要： Under the present invention, a single, overall alarm for an entire set of shopping items will be used for any and all discrepancies. The metric used for creating an alarm for the overall set of shopping items can be based on any one of the following candidate policies: if at least one item generated an alarm; if some fixed number of items generated an alarm; if some threshold discrepancy metric got exceed; if basket size is larger than certain threshold cash value and the alarm exceeded certain threshold alarm rate; a randomly generated alarm (e.g., random audit); the customer's identity and track record (e.g., loyalty card); and/or any combination of the above. Regardless, if an overall alarm is generated one or more of the following actions can be taken: no action send the customer to customer service; appropriately record customer track record (e.g., loyalty card) when customer identity is available; audit the customer at the “shop exit; and/or any combination of thereof.
摘要翻译：在本发明中，对于整个购物项目的单个整体报警将用于任何和所有差异。用于为整个购物项目创建警报的度量可以基于以下任一候选策略：如果至少一个项目产生了警报; 如果有固定数量的物品产生报警; 如果一些阈值差异度量超过了; 如果篮子尺寸大于某个门槛现金值，并且报警超过一定阈值报警率; 随机生成的警报（例如，随机审计）; 客户的身份和记录（例如会员卡）; 和/或上述的任何组合。无论如何，如果发生整体报警，可采取以下一项或多项措施：无需向客户提供任何行动; 当客户身份可用时，适当地记录客户记录（例如会员卡）; 在“店铺出口处审核客户; 和/或其任何组合。

摘要： Under the present invention, item verification is automated and expedited. Specifically, items to be purchased can be scanned by the shopper using a barcode reader (e.g., a scanner), attached to or positioned near the checkout station. As items are scanned, they are identified based on their barcode, and added to an item list. Item verification can then be performed at checkout using imaging technology. Specifically, as items are scanned, an item verification unit will capture an appearance thereof (via a camera). Item verification software within the item verification unit will access a database that associates items with their images/appearances. The appearance will be compared for consistency to the identity as determined based on the scan. In general, the item verification unit is a separate unit from the cash register, but adapted to work in conjunction therewith (e.g., as a pluggable system, via wireless communication, etc.).

摘要： The present invention provides a system and methods for direct gaze detection based on pupil symmetry. The system and methods work by first finding the user's eyes in a video camera image and measuring the symmetry of the pupil region. If this pupil region is close to round, the invention determines that the user is looking nearly directly or close to directly at the camera, or has direct gaze at the camera. This technique handles both eye motions and head motions (e.g., the gaze may shift with or without the head being turned).

摘要： The present invention provides an item scanning system in which an appearance of an item is received (e.g., at checkout). The appearance is captured with an image capture device (e.g., still frame camera, video camera, etc.) that can be collocated with a barcode scanner. In being collocated, the image capture device can be positioned proximate (e.g., near, attached to, etc.) the bar code scanner, integrated within a common housing/unit with the barcode scanner, etc. In any event, a search engine will then search a database of items based on the appearance to identify a set of items that potentially match the item. When one of the set of items is selected (e.g., by the checkout clerk), the selection will be received and stored for future investigation/auditing.

摘要： The present invention provides an approach for rewarding customers for use of self-checkout stations and, optionally, for being self-sufficient in such use by not requiring retailer (employee) assistance. Specifically, the under the present invention, a set of service choices made by a customer during purchasing transactions are tracked. Such service choices include whether the customer elected to use self-checkout stations. In addition, a frequency of assistance needed by the customer during the purchasing transactions will be tracked. Such tracking can be accomplished using any known technology including the use of the customer loyalty cards that are assigned to specific customers. In any event, a reward can be offered to the customer if the customer elected to use self-checkout stations to complete at least a subset of the purchasing transactions, and/or if the frequency of assistance needed by the customer during the purchasing transactions fell below a predetermined threshold.
