METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUDITING TRANSACTION ACTIVITY IN RETAIL AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTS USING VISUAL RECOGNITION

A system detects a transaction outcome by obtaining video data associated with a transaction area and by obtaining transaction data concerning at least one transaction that occurs at the transaction area. The system correlates the video data associated with the transaction area to the transaction data to identify specific video data captured during occurrence of that at least one transaction at the transaction area. Based a transaction classification indicated by the transaction data, the system processes the video data to identify appropriate visual indicators within the video data that correspond to the transaction classification.
