Publication number: 20240135315Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Jing Wang, Han Zhang, Lingfeng Zhang, Zhaoliang Duan, Mingquan Yuan, Wei Wang, Benjamin R. Ellison, Avinash M. Jade, Raghava Balusu, Zhichun Xiao

Publication number: 20240119735Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Lingfeng Zhang, Mingquan Yuan, Paul Lewis Lobo, Avinash M. Jade, Zhichun Xiao, William Craig Robinson, JR., Zhaoliang Duan, Wei Wang, Han Zhang, Raghava Balusu, Tianyi Mao
