SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF OBJECT IDENTIFICATION AND DATABASE CREATION

摘要

Exemplary embodiments are generally directed to systems and methods of object identification. Exemplary embodiments can scan, by an optical reader, a machine-readable identifier associated with an original object. Exemplary embodiments can capture an image of the original object at a first orientation using an image capture device. Exemplary embodiments can transmit the machine-readable identifier and the image of the original object to an image database to store an association between the image of the original object and the machine-readable identifier. Exemplary embodiments can receive a subsequent object having a subsequent machine-readable identifier that is unavailable or incapable of being scanned. Exemplary embodiments can capture an image of the subsequent object with the image capture device. Exemplary embodiments can execute an image recognition function that outputs object identification information for the image of the subsequent object based on the machine-readable identifier associated with the image of the original object.

1. A method of identifying objects using image recognition, comprising:
scanning, by an optical reader, a machine-readable identifier associated with an original object; capturing an image of the original object at a first orientation using an image capture device; transmitting the machine-readable identifier and the image of the original object to an image database to store an association between the image of the original object and the machine-readable identifier; receiving a subsequent object having a subsequent machine-readable identifier that is unavailable or incapable of being scanned; capturing an image of the subsequent object with the image capture device; and identifying the subsequent object in response to execution of an image recognition function that receives as input the image of the subsequent object, compares the image of the subsequent object to other images in the image database to identify similar images, the similar images including at least the image of the original object, and that outputs object identification information for the image of the subsequent object based on the machine-readable identifier associated with the image of the original object, the object identification information identifying the subsequent object relative to the other images in the image database.
