I remember the one time I went to a just walk out store, I bought a chocolate and got the bill the next day which felt weird but now makes complete sense if they couldn’t get the Computer Vision to work but just relief on humans to identify this stuff. I’d contend that even if a much more capable company like OpenAI tried this, they’d get much closer, maybe good enough for a product but this a really ill defined problem where even the best results may not be worth it. Putting cameras on the roof doesn’t let you see everything a person grabs, there will always be weird occluded angles. On top of that the cameras need to be super high resolution and zoomed in to detect some of the smaller stuff in shelves. This is just for the trustworthy customers, now consider the thieves, they’re gonna have a field day with this, it’s not going to be easy to prevent a determined thief from not fooling the systems. A self checkout cart honestly makes much more sense, still prone to thieves but it at least lets you skip the line much more reliably.
