Fixture with cameras for acquiring images in a facility

Abstract:

An overhead fixture supports a plurality of cameras used to acquire images associated with a scene during operation of a facility. In one implementation, a first camera is mounted to the overhead fixture to acquire one or more images of a user, while a second camera is mounted to the overhead fixture to acquire one or more images of an inventory location or items at the inventory location. One or more light sources may be mounted on the overhead fixture and activated to produce light. The light may illuminate one or more of the user, the items at the inventory location, or other portions of the scene. Brilliance of the light sources may also obscure the cameras from observation by the user.
