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 support members of product storage structures that store products at a product storage facility include an image capture device that captures images of a product storage structure including vertical and horizontal support members. A computing device including a control circuit is configured to: obtain the images of the product storage structure captured by the image capture device, stitch the obtained images together to generate a stitched image that depicts the product storage structure, generate a color distribution map of the stitched image of the product storage structure to detect individual ones of the horizontal and vertical support members of the product storage structure.

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.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to self-checkout verification at a retail facility. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for self-checkout verification at a retail facility including a first optical imaging unit; and a control circuit. The control circuit configured to: receive purchase receipt data; receive one or more images of the items in the container; and execute a machine learning model trained to: perform item detection, item classification, and item verification of each item shown in the one or more images; and output electronic data corresponding to an electronic receipt of the items in the container. The control circuit may automatically detect each unpaid item in the container based on a comparison of the purchase receipt data with the electronic data; and provide an alert signal in response to automatically detecting an unpaid item.

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.
