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 creating reference template images for detecting and recognizing products at a product storage facility include an image capture device having a field of view that includes a product storage structure of the product storage facility, and a computing device including a control circuit and being communicatively coupled to the image capture device. The computing device obtains images of the product storage structure captured by the image capture device, analyzes the obtained images to detect individual ones of the products located on the product storage structure. Then, the computing device identifies the individual ones of the products detected in the images and crops each of the individual ones of the identified products from the images to generate cropped images. The computing device then creates a cluster of the cropped images, and selects one of the cropped images as a reference template image of an identified individual product.

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 detecting and recognizing products on product storage structures of a product storage facility include an image capture device that moves about and captures images of the product storage structures at the product storage facility. A computing device processes the obtained images to detect and identify the products on the product storage structure, crops each of the identified individual products from the image to generate a plurality of cropped images and generates an image histogram template, feature vector template and location information template for each of the cropped images. The cropped images are stored in an electronic database and represent a reference model for each of the identified individual products and are stored in association with the generated image histogram template, feature vector template and location information template to facilitate recognition of products subsequently captured on the product storage structure 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.

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.
