Session: Revolutionizing retail through Automated Self-Checkout using AI vision-based computing
Computer vision is revolutionizing various industries, and retail is no exception. While AI applications have many benefits, proof-of-concepts do not scale successfully into larger, implemented deployments. Retailers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and system integrators (SIs) require a good understanding of both hardware and software, maintaining AI models in production and having in-depth knowledge of costs involved in setting up and scaling these systems. Vision workloads are significantly larger, complex, undergo multiple stages of processing and therefore require systems to be architected, built, and deployed with several considerations. To make it easier for software developers to understand the optimizations and hardware capabilities, Automated Self-Checkout is developed- an open-source initiative for vision-enabled retail use cases, providing optimized code blocks, documentation, and performance benchmark data to enhance and accelerate developer’s product and project work. Hence, a set of ingredients are needed to create vision-enabled use cases by adopting the AI Enabled Checkout Framework.Key Takeaways
- Identify the challenges in implementing computer vision-based AI/ML solutions for retail use cases.
- Describe the Automated Self-Checkout reference implementation solution that has revolutionized the retail space.
- Describe the hardware benchmarking feature included in this innovative solution
