Lecture:
Deep Understanding of Shopper Behaviors and Interactions Using Computer Vision
Abstract:
In retail environments, there’s great value in understanding how shoppers move in the space and interact with products. And, while the retail environment has some favorable characteristics for computer vision, the large number and diversity of products sold, along with the potential ambiguity of shopper movements, mean that accurately measuring shopper behavior is challenging.
In this lecture, Frontoni explores some of these challenges and present a set of deep learning algorithms that are designed to address them. These algorithms have been proposed and tested for multiple consumers tracking, social interactions, shopper-shelf interaction, trajectory predictions and have been used to measure the activity of more than 5 million shoppers worldwide.
Novel deep networks, GANs and architectures for edge processing will be the scientific topics of this talk.
