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 tracking promotional states of slots in inventory structures within a store includes: accessing an image of an inventory structure within a store; detecting a shelf tag on the inventory structure in the image; extracting a set of features from the shelf tag detected in the image; detecting a promotional tag on the inventory structure in the image; extracting a set of features from the promotional tag detected in the image; detecting a deviation between the shelf tag and the promotional tag based on a difference between the sets of features; and, in response to detecting the deviation between the shelf tag and the promotional tag, identifying the first promotional tag as erroneous, and notifying a store associate to replace the first promotional tag with a second promotional tag at the first slot, the second promotional tag correcting the difference.

Abstract: One variation of a method for tracking and maintaining inventory in a store includes: accessing a image of an inventory structure in the store; identifying a top shelf, in the inventory structure, depicted in the image; identifying a set of product units occupying the top shelf based on features detected in the image; identifying a second shelf, in the set of shelves in the inventory structure, depicted in the image, the second shelf arranged below the top shelf in the inventory structure; based on features detected in the image, detecting an understock condition at a slot—assigned to a product type—on the second shelf; and, in response to the set of product units comprising a product unit of the product type, generating a prompt to transfer the product unit of the product type from the top shelf into the slot on the second shelf at the inventory structure.

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.
