Image overlaying and comparison for inventory display auditing

摘要

Example methods disclosed herein include overlaying a semi-transparent version of a reference image over a sequence of captured images as respective ones of the captured images are displayed on a display of a portable device. Such disclosed example methods also include determining a directional difference between a first one of the captured images and the reference image. Such disclosed example methods further include presenting a directional prompt to indicate a direction to move the portable device to cause a subsequent second one of the captured images to coincide with the reference image.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
modifying, with a processor, an image characteristic of a previously captured reference image selected from memory of a portable device to generate a semi-transparent version of the reference image; overlaying the semi-transparent version of the reference image over a first captured image as the first captured image is displayed on a display of the portable device; determining, with the processor of the portable device, a directional difference between the first captured image and the reference image; and presenting a directional prompt to indicate a direction to move the portable device to cause a subsequent second captured image to coincide with the reference image.
