Abstract
The present invention is a method and system to provide correspondences between point-of-sale data registered at the store checkout and shopper behavior data observed at point-of-purchase through video analysis. The point-of-sale data include the list of shoppers and purchase items, and the shopper behavior data include the purchase events along with observed purchase items. The correspondence in the form of checkout shopper IDs matched to purchase event IDs is derived based on the algebraic constraint among the point-of-sale data and the purchase event data. Additional constraint based on shopper tracks and checkout/event times can also be incorporated to the correspondence problem. Uncertainties due to the video measurement can be systematically handled utilizing a Bayesian model.
