Publication number: 20240020635Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) acquires a shelf rack image (12) in which a product shelf rack on which a product is displayed is imaged. The information processing apparatus (2000) performs image analysis on the shelf rack image (12), and generates information (actual display information) relevant to a display situation of the product on a product shelf rack (20). The information processing apparatus (2000) acquires reference display information representing a reference for display of the product on the product shelf rack (20). The information processing apparatus (2000) compares the actual display information generated by performing the image analysis on the shelf rack image (12) with the acquired reference display information, and generates comparison information representing a result.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: NEC CorporaionInventors: Yaeko YONEZAWA, Kaito HORITA, Akira YAJIMA, Mizuto SEKINE, Yoshinori EHARA
