Computer Vision Meets AI in Cloudpick’s Smart Retail Stores

Intel® RealSense™ Technology Automates the Shopping Experience

Challenge

Make in-store shopping easier and more enjoyable, while boosting efficiency for retailers.

Solution

Data from Intel RealSense Depth Camera D455 is used to construct a virtual, 3D metaverse. Intel edge computing platforms correlate all of the data and transmit it to a cloud-based billing platform.

Results

Intel RealSense depth cameras enable a 99.5% accuracy rate in tracking shopper activity and purchases, vaulting Cloudpick to the forefront of the smart retail industry.

Leading the Evolution of Retail Technology

Retail technology is rapidly evolving, and Cloudpick is at the forefront of this change. Specializing in transforming traditional brick-and-mortar stores into intelligent, automated spaces, Cloudpick has launched hundreds of autonomous "smart" stores across the globe. Their advanced AI-powered solutions enable fully automated shopping experiences, eliminating the need for checkouts.

Seamless Shopping Through AI and Intel RealSense

Using a combination of AI, computer vision, and edge computing technologies, Cloudpick enhances the customer experience by allowing shoppers to simply grab and go, bypassing traditional payment methods. A key component in this transformation is the Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D455, which plays a crucial role in powering Cloudpick's cashier-free retail solutions.

The Cloudpick Solution

Cloudpick leverages a powerful combination of AI, computer vision, and deep learning to power its smart stores. Their system relies heavily on Intel RealSense Depth Cameras, which capture a 3D representation of the store, enabling gesture recognition and monitoring of customer behavior. This allows for accurate tracking of products from the shelves to the virtual shopping cart.
