Systems and methods for detecting support members of product storage structures at product storage facilities

A system for detecting support members of product storage structures at a product storage facility, the system comprising:

• an image capture device having a field of view that includes at least a part of a product storage structure at the product storage facility having the products arranged thereon,
• wherein the image capture device is configured to capture a plurality of images of the product storage structure, each of the images depicting a portion of the product storage structure;
• and
• wherein the product storage structure includes a plurality of horizontal support members interconnected by plurality of vertical support members;
• and
• a computing device including a control circuit, the computing device being communicatively coupled to the image capture device, the control circuit being configured to:
• obtain the plurality of images of the product storage structure captured by the image capture device;
• stitch the obtained images together to generate a stitched image that depicts at least a portion of the product storage structure;
• and
• generate a color distribution map of the stitched image of the product storage structure to detect individual ones of the horizontal support members and individual ones of the vertical support members of the product storage structure.
