Devices and methods for locating an object

A device, comprising:

• an imaging assembly;
• at least one sensor;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive information of an area, the information being indicative of a type of the area and a map of the area;
• receive an image, captured by the imaging assembly, of one or more objects within the area;
• derive a location and orientation of the device during capture of the image based on the information and data of the at least one sensor;
• detect a first label associated with a first object, the first label having one or more identifiers;
• process the first label associated with the first object;
• determine a location of the processed first label associated with the first object within the area based on the derived location and orientation of the device;
• and
• determine a location of the first object within the area based on the determined location of the processed first label.

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

• receive information of an area, the information being indicative of a type of the area and a map of the area;
• receive, from an imaging assembly, an image of one or more objects within the area;
• derive a location and orientation of the device during capture of the image based on the information and data of at least one sensor of the device;
• detect a first label associated with a first object, the first label having one or more identifiers;
• process the first label associated with the first object;
• determine a location of the processed first label associated with the first object within the area based on the derived location and orientation of the device;
• and
• determine a location of the first object within the area based on the determined location of the processed first label.

A method, comprising:

• deriving a location and orientation of a device during capture of an image of one or more objects present in an area based on information of the area and data of at least one sensor of the device, the information being indicative of a type of the area and a map of the area;
• detecting a first label associated with a first object, the first label having one or more identifiers;
• processing the first label associated with the first object;
• determining a location of the processed first label associated with the first object within the area based on the derived location and orientation of the device;
• and
• determining a location of the first object within the area based on the determined location of the processed first label.
