This research article search the lotion of computer vision technologies for automatize customer behavior analysis in retail environment. The sketch purport to realise how these engineering can raise customer experience and optimise retail surgery. By engage image processing and machine learning algorithms, the enquiry investigates various view of customer interactions, include foot traffic patterns, dwell times. And product engagement. The methodology postulate the deployment of camera systems in a operate scope, fascinate real-time data for analysis. Results basically suggest meaning brainwave into customer preferences and demeanour, supply retailer with datum to tailor their marketing strategies. For the hereafter of retail, the treatment foreground the import of these determination, emphasizing the importance of desegregate technology to meet evolving consumer demands. The end summarise the key determination and intimate boulevard for next inquiry in automatize customer behavior analysis.References
