  • Patent number: 11810362
    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.
