That was for automated checkout. Video people counters have been around for years. I’ve worked for companies that used them to count customers by department.

this isn’t counting people. this is working out which item or items people pick up from a shelf and decide to keep, if any. that isn’t just similar to the automated checkout problem: it’s the same exact problem. if anything, this iteration of it is more challenging because a blueberry is a fair amount smaller than a tin of beans.
