Glossary
- Anonymous estimation Anonymous estimation is the practice of classifying people into broad attribute groups — such as age band, gender or staff-versus-customer — rather than identifying individuals.
- Computer vision Computer vision in retail is the application of AI that enables computers to interpret and analyse visual information from cameras, allowing retailers to automatically understand customer behaviour, store operations, and in-store activity without manual observation.
- Face blurring Face blurring is the irreversible process of obscuring faces on the APU at the moment of capture, before any image can leave the device.
- On-device processing On-device processing is the architectural principle of running all AI inference locally on the in-store APU, so that raw video never leaves the building.
