Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to processing captured images. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for processing captured images of objects at a product storage facility including a trained machine learning model stored in a memory; and a control circuit. The control circuit may obtain an image at the product storage facility; cluster objects depicted in the image that have same product identifiers into a corresponding group; determine coordinates of each bounding box of each clustered object in the corresponding group; determine a bounding box representative depth value of pixels inside the bounding box of each clustered object; determine an overall representative depth value of the corresponding group based on bounding box representative depth values of clustered objects; and exclude the clustered objects from identified objects in the image upon a determination that the overall representative depth value is greater than a threshold.

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 updating templates for use in recognizing individual products in images captured at a product storage facility include an image capture device that captures one or more images of product storage structure at a product storage facility, a computing device in communication with the image capture device, and an electronic database that stores keyword model templates and feature model templates associated with images of previously recognized individual products detected at the product storage facility. The computing device obtains the keyword and feature model templates associated with a recognized product from the electronic database, extracts the keywords from the products associated with the obtained keyword model templates, identifies products that are similar to the recognized product, and updates the keyword model template for each of the products to include must keywords and negative keywords, facilitating recognition of products in subsequent images captured by the image capture device.

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.
