Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for determining product volumes associated with products in a facility. These product volumes may be used to update planogram data associated with a facility, with the planogram data indicating inventory locations within the facility for various types of items supported by product fixtures. The planogram data may be used, in some instances, to update virtual carts of users interacting with the items in the facility.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for updating planogram data associated with a facility. The planogram may indicate, for different shelves and other inventory locations within the facility, which items are on which shelves. For example, the planogram data may indicate that a particular item is located on a particular shelf. Therefore, when a system identifies that a user has taken an item from that shelf, the system may update a virtual cart of that user to indicate addition of the particular item. In some instances, however, a new item may be stocked on the example shelf instead of a previous item. The techniques described herein may use sensor data generated in the facility to identify this change and update the planogram data to indicate an association between the shelf and the new item.

Abstract: As agents move about a materials handling facility, tracklets representative of the position of each agent are maintained along with a confidence score indicating a confidence that the position of the agent is known. If the confidence score falls below a threshold level, image data of the agent associated with the low confidence score is obtained and processed to generate one or more embedding vectors representative of the agent at a current position. Those embedding vectors are then compared with embedding vectors of other candidate agents to determine a set of embedding vectors having a highest similarity. The candidate agent represented by the set of embedding vectors having the highest similarity score is determined to be the agent and the position of that candidate agent is updated to the current position, thereby re-identifying the agent.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for updating planogram data associated with a facility. The planogram may indicate inventory locations within the facility for various types of items supported by product fixtures. In particular an image of a product fixture is analyzed to identify image segments corresponding to product groups, where each product group consists of instances of the same product and each image segment corresponds to a group of image points. Image data is further analyzed to determine coordinates of the points of each image segment. A product space corresponding to the product group is then defined based on the coordinates of the points of the product group. In some cases, for example, a product space may be defined in terms of the coordinates of the corners of a rectangular bounding box or volume.
