LaneHawk by EvolutionRobotics
A smart camera is flush-mounted in the checkout lane, continuously
watching for items. When an item is detected and recognized, the
cashier verifies the quantity of items that were found under the basket,
and continues to close the transaction. The item can remain under the
basket, and with LaneHawk,you are assured to get paid for it
