  • Publication number: 20220051177
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method of identifying misplaced products on a retail shelf using a feature extractor trained to extract features from images of products on the shelf and output identifying information regarding the product in the product image. The extracted features are compared to extracted features in a product library and a best fit is obtained. A misplaced product is identified if the identifying information produced by the feature extractor fails to match the identifying information associated with the best fit features from the product library.

  • Publication number: 20210120828
    Abstract: A yeast-containing dough that is used to form a leavened dough product having a desired degree of leavening is initially formed as two separate dough subcomponents that, when combined, leavens through a fermentation reaction process to form a dough having the desired degree of leavening. The first dough subcomponent includes a leavening activator, flour, salt and water, while the second dough component includes a biological leavening agent, flour, and water. When combined, the leavening agent reacts in the presence of the biological leavening activator through a fermentation process to form the dough having a desired degree of leavening, which can then be heated to a temperature exceeding a viability temperature of the leavening activator to terminate the fermentation process and form the leavened dough product. The dough can also be combined with at least one non-dough component to form the leavened dough product.

  • Patent number: 10846593
    Abstract: An apparatus may be configured to obtain, for a Siamese neural network having a recurrent neural network (RNN), an initial representation associated with a target object at a first time step and a set of candidate regions at a current time step. The apparatus may determine an updated representation associated with the target object based on the initial representation at the first time step and observed information associated with the target object at a set of previous time steps, and the observed information associated with the target object may be represented by a hidden state of the RNN. The apparatus may output the updated representation associated with the target object for matching with the set of candidate regions at the current time step by the Siamese neural network. The apparatus may determine the updated representation further based on a hidden state at a previous time step.
