Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for capturing color images of items for a machine-learning model. In one method, a request, for adding an item to be visually recognized during sales transactions, is detected at a checkout apparatus. Further, the method includes capturing and storing a color image, by each of one or more cameras of the checkout apparatus, of an examination space when the item is present. Further, the capturing and storing of color images of the item is repeated at different poses until at a predetermined number of color images of the item are captured. Further, the method includes generating, by a processor of the checkout apparatus, additional images of the item by modifying the captured color images. A machine-learning model for item recognition is built by training a machine-learning tool with the captured images and the additional images.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 1 , comprising:\n for each pose, generating a 3D point cloud of the item and a 3D mesh for the item; and for each additional color image, generating a 3D point cloud associated with the additional color image and a 3D mesh associated with the additional color image, wherein training the machine-learning tool comprises utilizing the 3D point clouds and the 3D meshes for the poses and for the additional color images.
