Claim 0:
1. A computer system for offering coupons to a purchaser user, the computer system comprising:
a coupon offering server including:
a shopping container image processor configured to detect a pre-purchase item in shopping container image data, the shopping container image processor including:
an object detector module configured to generate first detected item data, wherein the first detected item data includes an item detected in the shopping container image data using a machine learning-based object detection model trained to localize and classify objects in the shopping container image data; and
a barcode detector module configured to generate second detected item data, wherein the second detected item data includes an item detected in the shopping container image using a barcode detection technique configured to localize and decode at least one barcode in the shopping container image data to obtain the second detected item data;
wherein the shopping container image processor compares a confidence level of the first detected item data generated by the object detector module to a predetermined confidence level threshold and uses the barcode detector module to detect the pre-purchase item when the confidence level does not meet the predetermined confidence level threshold; and

a coupon matcher engine configured to:
receive the first and second detected item data from the shopping container image processor;
generate matched coupon data using the first and second detected item data;
wherein the matched coupon data comprises a machine-readable representation to apply a matched coupon at purchase; and

wherein the coupon offering server is further configured to transmit the matched coupon data to a user device associated with the purchaser user.
