Sequencing Products Recognized in a Shelf Image

摘要

A method for sequencing products on a retail shelf, or other objects, recognized in an image of the retail shelf includes detecting products in the received image and calculating a final sequence position for each detected product. The final sequence position is calculated by generating a region of interest for each detected product in the received image, generating a plurality of unique raster numbers for each region of interest using a raster number equation by varying parameters of the raster number equation based on pixel coordinates of each region of interest, determining a plurality of sequence positions for each region of interest using the plurality of unique raster numbers, and determining the final sequence position for each region of interest using the plurality of sequence positions for each region of interest. The disclosure also includes systems for implementing the method.

1. A method comprising:
receiving an image of a plurality of objects; detecting objects in the received image; generating a region of interest for each detected object in the received image; generating a plurality of unique raster numbers for each region of interest using a raster number equation by varying parameters of the raster number equation based on pixel coordinates of each region of interest; determining a plurality of sequence positions for each region of interest using the plurality of unique raster numbers; and determining a final sequence position for each region of interest using the plurality of sequence positions for each region of interest.
