Abstract:
A system detects a transaction outcome by obtaining video data associated with a transaction area and analyzing the video data to obtain at least one video transaction parameter concerning transactions associated with the transaction area. The transaction area can be a video count of items indicated in the video data as detected by an automated item detection algorithm applied to the video data. The system obtains at least one expected transaction parameter concerning an expected transaction that occurs in the transaction area, such as a scan count of items scanned at a point of sale terminal. The system automatically compares the video transaction parameter(s) to the expected transaction parameter(s) to identify a transaction outcome that may indicate fraudulent activity such as sweethearting in a retail environment.

Claim (Index 20):
A system, comprising:\n a transaction terminal including a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions representing a transaction manager; a scanner interfaced to the transaction terminal; and a camera interfaced to the transaction terminal; wherein the scanner is configured to:\n identify item codes for items being processed at the transaction terminal during a transaction; and \n provide the item codes to the transaction manager; \n wherein the camera is configured to:\n obtain images as frames of a real-time video captured of a transaction area of the transaction terminal during the transaction; and \n provide the frames to the transaction manager; \n wherein the transaction manager when executed by the processor from the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is configured to cause the processor to:\n perform item information and pricing lookup based on the item codes and based on any entered item information provided through an input interface of the transaction terminal; \n maintain item counts for the items of the transaction; \n process the images to obtain image item counts, image item information, and image item sequence of movement of the items within the transaction area; \n compare the item counts against the image item counts to produce a first discrepancy; \n compare the item information for each item against the image item information to produce a second discrepancy; \n compare the image item sequence of movement against an expected image item sequence of movement for each item to produce a third discrepancy; and \n determine whether to raise a notification based on first discrepancy, the second discrepancy and the third discrepancy.
