    摘要: A method for greatly reducing data storage requirements of autonomous robots capable of product inventory is described. Instead using high resolution images for label identification and position tracking, a lower resolution map can be searched. Human or machines can identify position of labels, and via a reverse mapping, the corresponding position of a label on the high resolution image can be identified. Except for those portions of the high resolution image showing a label, most of the high resolution image can be discarded. Further processing on the limited image subset can be used to read the labels.
