Abstract: A method includes: accessing a query from a first supplier of product to a store; accessing a first image of an inventory structure captured by an optical sensor, deployed in a store, at a first time; identifying a first cluster of regions, in the first image, depicting a first set of slots assigned to product types supplied by the first supplier; identifying a second cluster of regions, in the first image, depicting a second set of slots assigned to product types supplied by a second set of suppliers excluding the first supplier; obfuscating the second cluster of regions in the first image to generate a masked image; and, based on the query, serving the masked image to the first supplier.

Abstract: A method includes: locating a first slot boundary around a first product unit, in an image of an inventory structure in a store, identifies as a first product type based on features detected in the image; extracting a first product identifier, from a first slot tag, detected in the image; based on correspondence between the first product identifier and product type, associating the first slot boundary with the first slot tag and extracting a first relative tag-boundary position of the first slot boundary and slot tag from the image; extracting a second product identifier from a second slot tag detected in the image; predicting a second slot boundary, assigned to a second product type corresponding to the second product identifier, in the image based on a second position of the second tag in the image and the first relative tag-boundary position.

Abstract: A method includes: accessing a first image captured at a first time; deriving a first in-stock condition of the slot at the first time based on product units of a product type occupying a slot, depicted in the first image, at the first time based on features detected in the first image; accessing a second image captured at a second, later time; deriving a second out-of-stock condition of the slot at the second time based on features detected in the second image; accessing a back-of-store inventory status of the product type at the second time; and triggering an increase in quantity of facings of the product type at the slot based on a) the first in-stock condition at the slot at the first time, b) the first out-of-stock condition at the slot at the second time, and c) presence of back-of-store inventory of the product type at the second.
