What is Machine Learning Image Recognition in Retail?

It's not unusual to say that AI is the future. AI is entering almost all fields that exist right now and mostly leading those sectors on a path of success. The opinion may vary, but we all still have to agree, it has opened the gates to a whole new era of opportunities making things which we only expected to exist in movies, possible. Having said this, it's no surprise that the automatic store checkouts are also designed with the help of a subset of AI, which is machine learning, to be more precise deep learning. Deep learning, which quintessentially is machine learning, helps build the image recognition and object recognition mechanism. Though the terms image recognition and object recognition are used interchangeably, they are not exactly identical, explained later in the blog.
