Abstract: Systems and methods for use in mapping an interior space of a product storage facility include at least one sensor that captures distance measurement data with respect to an interior space of the product storage facility. A computing device obtains a first image representing a 2-dimensional map of the interior space of the product storage facility and processes this image to define a boundary of the interior space of the product storage facility and detect individual structures located within the interior space of the product storage facility. Then, the computing device defines separate department areas, assigns a department label to each of the separate department areas, and converts the 2-dimensional map representing the detected structures and the defined separate department areas and the department labels assigned to the separate department areas into a second image representing a 3-dimensional map of the interior space of the product storage facility.

Abstract: Systems and methods of detecting support members of product storage structures that store products at a product storage facility include an image capture device that captures images of a product storage structure including vertical and horizontal support members. A computing device including a control circuit is configured to: obtain the images of the product storage structure captured by the image capture device, stitch the obtained images together to generate a stitched image that depicts the product storage structure, generate a color distribution map of the stitched image of the product storage structure to detect individual ones of the horizontal and vertical support members of the product storage structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods of analyzing on-shelf price tag labels and products at a product storage facility include an image capture device that captures one or more images of one or more product storage structures at a product storage facility. A computing device communicatively coupled to the image capture device analyzes the images of the product storage structures captured by the image capture device and detects individual price tag labels and individual products located on the product storage structure. Based on the detection of the price tag labels and the products, the computing device also defines separate product storage spaces of the product storage structure, determines which price tag labels are allocated to which of the separate product storage spaces, and associates in a database the price tag labels allocated to the product storage spaces with the products stored in those product storage spaces.

Abstract: Systems and methods of verifying pairings of price tag labels and products at a product storage facility include an image capture device that moves about and captures images of product storage structures at the product storage facility, and a database that stores inventory data associated with the products stocked at the product storage facility. A computing device processes the images to extract one or more characters from the price tag labels and products detected in the images, correlates the extracted characters to the inventory data to identify a product code and a product name that matches the characters extracted from the price tag labels and the products. If the characters extracted from the price tag and from the on-shelf product to which the price tag label is allocated match, the database is updated to reflect that the price tag label is properly allocated to the appropriate on-shelf product.
