Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-based method includes receiving image data of a real world layout. The image data reflects the real world layout across three dimensions (e.g., vertical, horizontal, and orthogonal). Each of the three dimensions has an image range with a beginning and an end. The real world layout has inventory of products distributed across the three dimensions. The computer-based method further includes comparing a 3D model of a planned layout of the environment to the received image data. The 3D model represents the planned layout across the three dimensions. The computer-based method further includes determining whether results of the comparison reach a first particular threshold, and if so, then output a pertinent indication, alert, or the like.
Claims32
A computer-based method comprising:
- receiving image data of a real world layout at a computing device, the image data reflecting the real world layout across three dimensions, each of the three dimensions having an image range with a beginning and an end, and the real world layout having inventory distributed across the three dimensions;
- receiving audio data of the real world layout, the audio data reflecting at least one of sounds, voice, or music from the real world layout;
- comparing a 3D model of a planned layout of the real world layout to the received image data, the 3D model being from a tangible memory operatively coupled to the computing device and representing the planned layout across the three dimensions, wherein the comparing is able to convert the 3D model to a 2D representation and able to convert the received image data to a rendered 3D model;
- comparing a sound model of the planned layout of the environment to the received audio data, the sound model representing the planned layout;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, whether results of the comparison reach a first particular threshold and responsively indicating when the first particular threshold is reached.
