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: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to updating inventory of products. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for updating inventory of products including a database; at least one image capture device; and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to: process an image by: detecting units of one or more products in the image; grouping each detected unit into one or more clusters based on at least one of textual similarities, visual similarities, geometrical similarities, or relative spatial distance; detecting a product identifier for each cluster; identifying a product corresponding to the detected product identifier of each cluster; and counting the detected units associated with each cluster. The control circuit is configured to cause an update to the inventory of products in the database based on the counted detected units of each cluster.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to processing captured images of objects at a product storage facility. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for processing captured images of objects including a trained machine learning model and a control circuit. In some embodiments, the trained machine learning model is configured to process unprocessed captured images. In some embodiments, the control circuit is configured to associate each of the processed images into one of a first group, a second group, or a third group; remove at least one processed image associated with the first group from the processed images in accordance with a first processing rule; and output remaining processed images associated with the first group and processed images associated with the second group to be used to retrain the trained machine learning model.

Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring inventory of a product storage facility include an image capture device configured to move about the product storage areas of the product storage facility and capture images of the product storage areas from various angles. A computing device coupled to the image capture device obtains the images of the product storage areas captured by the image capture device and processes the obtained images of the product storage areas to detect individual products captured in the obtained images. Based on detection of the individual products captured in the images, the computing device analyzes each of the obtained images to extract meta data from the packaging the individual products to detect one more keywords and determine the locations of the detected keywords on the packaging, and then utilize this information to predict an identity of the products associated with the packaging.

Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring inventory of a product storage facility include an image capture device configured to move about the product storage areas of the product storage facility and capture images of the product storage areas from various angles. A computing device coupled to the image capture device obtains the images of the product storage areas captured by the image capture device and processes the obtained images of the product storage areas to detect individual products captured in the obtained images. Based on detection of the individual products captured in the images, the computing device analyzes each of the obtained images to detect one or more adjacent product storage structures (shelves, pallets, etc.) and identifies and selects a single image that fully shows a product storage structure of interest and fully shows each of the products stored on the product storage structure of interest.
