This disclosure is directed to, in part, mobile carts that are configured to determine their respective locations based on analysis of image data generated by cameras mounted to the respective carts. For instance, an example mobile cart may include at least one camera of a field-of-view directed substantially away from a cart and substantially towards an outward environment of the cart, such as toward an inventory location that houses one or more items. The mobile cart may generate image data representative of items housed at an inventory location adjacent to the cart and may use computer-vision techniques to analyze the image data and determine characteristics of these items. The mobile cart may then use this information to determine which section of multiple sections of a store in which the cart is currently located.
