Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for performing an analysis on images of a product packaging. Capture of at least one image of at least one side of a packaging in initiated. An image analysis is performed on the at least one image. Product attributes are detected based at least upon the at least one image analysis and associated with the product in a data store.
Claims24
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, the program comprising:
- code that receives at least one image corresponding to at least one side of a packaging associated with a product;
- code that performs an optical character recognition algorithm on the at least one image, the optical character recognition algorithm extracting text from the at least one image;
- code that associates the extracted text with an inventory item in a data store;
- code that performs at least one image recognition algorithm on the at least one image, the at least one image recognition algorithm configured to match at least one logo extracted from the at least one image with a known image corresponding to a product feature;
- code that associates the product feature with the inventory item in the data store;
- and
- code that assigns the product to a product category associated with at least one of the product feature and the extracted text.
4 more elements
A system, comprising:
- at least one image capture device;
- at least one computing device in communication with the at least one image capture device;
- and
- a product image analysis application executable in the at least one computing device, the product image analysis application comprising:
- logic that initiates capture of at least one image of at least one side of a packaging of a product;
- logic that performs at least one image analysis on the at least one image;
- logic that detects at least one product attribute associated with the product based at least upon the at least one image analysis;
- and
- logic that stores the at least one product attribute in an inventory record associated with the product.
6 more elements
A method, comprising the steps of:
- initiating, in at least one computing device, capture of at least one image of at least one side of a packaging of a product by at least one image capture device;
- performing, in the at least one computing device, at least one image analysis on the at least one image;
- detecting, in the at least one computing device, at least one product attribute associated with the product based at least upon the at least one image analysis;
- and
- storing, in the at least one computing device, the at least one product attribute in an inventory record associated with the product.
