Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for determining profitability of customer groups. The process parses event data to identify dynamic customer data, wherein the event data is derived from a continuous video stream captured at a retail facility. The process then combines the dynamic customer data with customer profile data to form dynamic customer profiles and analyzes the dynamic customer profiles to identify the customer groups. Thereafter, the process ranks the customer groups according to profitability of the customer groups.
