Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Traditional brick-and-mortar stores with human attendants and cashiers generally provide shopping carts and/or baskets to users for use in ho lding items to be purchased. When ready to checkout, the users present their ite ms to a human cashier who manually scans each and every item. “Automated checkout systems allow a customer at a brick-and-mortar store to sele ct and purchase items all without aid from a human attendant. Automated checkout systems aim to streamline such processes by capturing images of items inside th e shopping cart and identifying items placed in the shopping cart from the captu red images. However, stores are filled with items, many of which look visually s imilar to other items. As a result, automated checkout systems often inaccuratel y identify items within the shopping cart or are entirely incapable of identifyi ng items within the shopping cart.”
