Realogram scene analysis of images: superpixel scene analysis

摘要

The techniques include an image recognition system to receive a realogram image including a plurality of organized objects and to detect and identify objects in the realogram image of one or more items on a retail shelf, identify shelf fronts and labels on the shelf fronts, identify empty space under shelves, identify areas where unidentified products may be, and identify areas where products are “out of stock”.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving an image of a plurality of organized objects; generating superpixels based on groups of similar pixels in the image of the plurality of organized objects; labeling superpixels with information and observations from image analysis on the image of the plurality of organized objects, wherein labeling includes classifying superpixels as empty or other; identifying empty areas under a shelf based on the classified superpixels; iterating a segmentation algorithm on the classified superpixels to reclassify each of the superpixels as empty or other; and identifying regions of the image of the plurality of organized objects, including empty shelf space, based on the reclassified superpixels.
