Abstract: A system for image-based inventory determination including a cart. The cart includes a camera and a cart computing system in communication with the camera. The cart computing system includes a cart processor and a cart memory storing instructions that, when executed by the cart processor, cause the cart computing system to capture and store a set of images from the camera; process the set of images to identify an image of the set of images that displays a section of shelving having both a left vertical beam and a right vertical beam; and transmit the identified image to a remote server.
