US Patent 11030442 Associating events with actors based on digital imagery

In a materials handling facility, events may be associated with users based on imaging data captured from multiple fields of view. When an event is detected at a location within the fields of view of multiple cameras, two or more of the cameras may be identified as having captured images of the location at a time of the event. Users within the materials handling facility may be identified from images captured prior to, during or after the event, and visual representations of the respective actors may be generated from the images. The event may be associated with one of the users based on distances between the users' hands and the location of the event, as determined from the visual representations, or based on imaging data captured from the users' hands, which may be processed to determine which, if any, of such hands includes an item associated with the event.
