发明名称 STORE SHELF IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD
摘要 A store profile generation system includes a mobile base and an image capture assembly mounted on the base. The assembly includes at least one image capture device for acquiring images of product display units in a retail environment. A control unit acquires the images captured by the at least one image capture device at a sequence of locations of the mobile base in the retail environment. The control unit extracts product-related data from the acquired images and generates a store profile indicating locations of products and their associated tags throughout the retail environment, based on the extracted product-related data. The store profile can be used for generating new product labels for a sale in an appropriate order for a person to match to the appropriate locations in a single pass through the store.

主权项 1. A continuous motion store profile generation system comprising: a mobile base including an operatively associated primary navigation component configured to determine a location of the mobile base within a retail environment, the retail environment including a plurality of product display units arranged in a plurality of aisles, each product display unit including a plurality of product display fixtures, a plurality of products arranged on one or more of the product display fixtures, and a plurality of tags attached to the product display fixtures, each tag including product-related data including a barcode associated with a respective product proximately located on the product display fixture near the tag; an image capture assembly mounted on the mobile base, the assembly including a plurality of image capture devices for acquiring images of the product display units; and a master control unit including an operatively associated memory which stores instructions and a processor for executing the instructions, the control unit instructions including instructions for processing the images acquired by the plurality of image capture devices at a sequence of locations during a continuous movement of the mobile base in the retail environment, thereafter extracting the product-related data from the images of the product display units captured by the plurality of image capture devices during the continuous movement of the mobile base, and generating a store profile indicating locations of the products and/or tags throughout the retail environment based on the extracted product-related data, a spatial characterization of the image capture assembly, and the locations of the mobile base at the sequence of locations provided by the primary navigation component during continuous movement of the mobile base during an interval of time that the images were acquired.
