Automatically identifying incongruous item packages

Abstract

A method, system, and computer-readable medium is described for
automatically identifying incongruous item packages, such as to detect
incongruities in the items that are included as contents of the item
packages and/or to identify incongruities in the packaging used for the item
packages. In some situations, the automatic identification of incongruous
packages includes initially automatically learning appropriate values for
parameters of items (e.g., item weights and/or dimensions) based on
automatically measured parameters of packages including those items. Those
item values can then be used to estimate corresponding parameter values of
sealed packages that contain those items, and to further identify
incongruous item packages whose measured parameter values do not correspond
to the estimated values for those parameters.
