Claim One:
1. A method for creating a training technique for an individual at a retail checkout environment, comprising the steps of: building an event model for a retail checkout environment, wherein said building an event model comprises: iteratively capturing a video frame via a camera associated with the retail checkout environment and importing a concurrent record of a transaction event occurring at the retail checkout environment; and corresponding the record of the transaction event with one or more features of the captured video frame to identify the transaction event within the event model; obtaining video of one or more events at a retail checkout environment and information from a transaction log that corresponds to the one or more events, wherein one or more events relate to one or more actions of an individual, and wherein obtaining video of one or more events and information from a transaction log that corresponds to the one or more events is carried out by a video analytics engine executing on a hardware processor; automatically classifying each of the one or more events into an event category by comparing the obtained video and information from the transaction log to the event model using a classification technique, wherein event categories include a person present in cashier area, a barcode scanned, multiple people present in customer area, transaction voided, a person present in customer area, multiple people present in cashier area, a keyboard interaction, one or more items bagged, a pick-up motion, a scan motion and a drop motion, and wherein automatically classifying the one or more events is carried out by an event classifier executing on a hardware processor; examining the one or more classified events to correct one or more misclassifications, if any, and revise the one or more event categories with the one or more corrected misclassifications, if any; and automatically generating a report that identifies each classified event and one or more enterprise rules corresponding to the identified classified event wherein generating a report is carried out by a compliance engine executing on a hardware processor.
