Abstract: One variation of a method for segmenting scenes of product units arranged in inventory structures within a store includes: accessing an image based on data captured by a mobile robotic system; detecting a shelving segment in the image; reading a segment identifier from a segment tag, detected in the image, arranged on the shelving segment; accessing a product template representing a product type in the set of product types assigned to the shelving segment based on the segment identifier; detecting a set of product features, in the first region of the image. In response to detecting the set of product features analogous to features of the product template: confirming presence of the unit of the first product type on the shelf in the shelving segment and appending the first product type to a list of product types presently stocked in the shelving segment.

Abstract: One variation of a method for maintaining perpetual inventory within a store includes: accessing a radar scan of an inventory structure within a store; accessing an optical image of the inventory structure; identifying a product type associated with the slot in a region of the optical image; retrieving a volumetric definition of the product type; locating a slot volume defining the slot in the radar scan; extracting a volumetric representation of a set of product units intersecting the slot volume in the radar scan; segmenting the volumetric representation by the volumetric definition to calculate a quantity of the set of product units occupying the slot; and updating a stock record of the store to reflect the quantity of the set of product units occupying the slot.

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 for maintaining inventory within a store includes: accessing an image (e.g., a color image, depth image) depicting an inventory structure; detecting a slot region of the image depicting a slot; identifying a product type assigned to the slot; accessing a product dimension of the product type; defining a target region within the slot in the image based on the product dimension; defining a product region within the slot in the image based on the product dimension and the target region; defining a back-of-shelf plane intersecting the target region of the image; detecting a surface within the product region; and, in response to the surface intersecting the back-of-shelf plane, identifying the slot as empty and generating a prompt to restock the slot with product units of the product type.
