Method, medium, and system for planning image sensor deployment

A system for planning deployment of image sensors, the system comprising:

• at least one processor programmed to:
• determine a location of a store shelf within a retail store;
• obtain a first coverage parameter corresponding to a first product type and a second coverage parameter corresponding to a second product type;
• access a database to determine a first height of products of the first product type and a second height of products of the second product type;
• determine, by analyzing the location of the store shelf, the first coverage parameter, the second coverage parameter, the first height, and the second height, a position for placing a camera that enables image recognition of products represented in an image captured by the camera, the determined position being expressed relative to a coordinate system or an object in the retail store;
• and
• provide, to a user interface of a user device, information relating to the determined position for placing the camera, the provided information including an indication of a particular store shelf to mount the camera to.
