US Patent 11403852 Object detection based on wrist-area region-of-interest

An image sensor is positioned such that a field-of-view of the image sensor encompasses at least a portion of a rack storing items. The image sensor generates angled-view images of the items stored on the rack. A tracking subsystem receives image frames of the angled-view images. The tracking subsystem detects that a trigger event has occurred. A set of one or more image frames from the image feed are determined that are associated with the detected trigger event. A region-of-interest of the image frame is determined based on the pixel position of the wrist of the person. The region-of-interest includes a subset of the pixels of the image frame. A first item in the determined region-of-interest using an object detection algorithm. The identified first item is assigned to the person.
