System and method for identifying a second item based on an association with a first item

A method for identifying an item, comprising:

• capturing a plurality of first images of the first item on the platform using two or more cameras of a plurality of cameras;
• identifying a first item identifier associated with the first item based on the plurality of first images;
• assigning the first item identifier to the first item captured in the first images;
• capturing a plurality of second images of the second item on the platform using two or more cameras of the plurality of cameras;
• generating a plurality of cropped images, wherein each cropped image is associated with a corresponding second image and is generated by editing the corresponding second image to isolate at least a portion of the second item;
• for each cropped image, identifying an item identifier based on or more attributes of the second item;
• accessing from a memory, associations between item identifiers of respective items;
• identifying an association between the first item identifier of the first item and a second item identifier;
• detecting that at least one of the identified item identifiers is the second item identifier;
• and
• in response to detecting that at least one of the identified item identifiers is the second item identifier and based on the identified association between the first item identifier and the second item identifier, assigning the second item identifier to the second item.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• capture a plurality of first images of the first item on the platform using two or more cameras of a plurality of cameras;
• identify a first item identifier associated with the first item based on the plurality of first images;
• assign the first item identifier to the first item captured in the first images;
• capture a plurality of second images of the second item on the platform using two or more cameras of the plurality of cameras;
• generate a plurality of cropped images, wherein each cropped image is associated with a corresponding second image and is generated by editing the corresponding second image to isolate at least a portion of the second item;
• for each cropped image identify an item identifier based on or more attributes of the second item;
• access from a memory, associations between item identifiers of respective items;
• identify an association between the first item identifier of the first item and a second item identifier;
• detect that at least one of the identified item identifiers is the second item identifier;
• and
• in response to detecting that at least one of the identified item identifiers is the second item identifier and based on the identified association between the first item identifier and the second item identifier, assign the second item identifier to the second item.
