Product scanner

A system and method determines from data collected by one or more data collection elements of a computing device a plurality of discrete product storage locations within a product storage system. Each of the plurality of plurality of discrete product storage locations is caused to be associated with at least one cell of a grid comprised of a plurality of cells. A graphical user interface is displayed in a display of the computing device, the graphical user interface including the grid overlayed upon an image of the product storage system. A user may then interact with the graphical user interface to select a one or more of the plurality of cells of the grid and cause product related information captured via use of the one more data collection elements of the computing device to be linked in a memory storage associated with the computing device to the one of the plurality of discrete product storage locations that was associated with the selected at least one cell of the grid.

Vision-based system and method for providing inventory data collection and management

A system and method determines that an object within an image frame being captured via use of an imaging system is an object of interest. The determined object of interest is used to extract from a three-dimensional information obtained via use of a three-dimensional (3D) data obtaining component of the imaging system a 3D information for the object of interest. At least a part of the 3D information for the object of interest is caused to be provided to a cloud-based visual search process for the purpose of locating one or more matching products from within a product database for the object of interest with the located one or more matching products being returned to a customer as a product search result.

System and method for providing three-dimensional, visual search

A system and method detects that an object within an image frame being captured via use of an imaging element associated with a computing device is an object of interest, tracks the object of interest within the image frame while determining if the object within the image frame remains the object of interest within the image frame for a predetermined amount of time, and, when the object within the image frame fails to remain the object of interest within the image frame for the predetermined amount of time causes the steps to be repeated. Otherwise, the system and method will automatically provide at least of part of the image frame to a cloud-based visual search process for the purpose of locating one or more matching products from within a product database for the object of interest with the located one or more matching products being returned to a customer as a product search result.

System and method for providing tap-less, real-time visual search

A search processing system receives a search query having information indicative of an object of interest, such as an image. The search processing system uses the received search query to locate data for use in creating a computer-generated model of a product determined to be a match for the object of interest. A display generating device uses the data to create the computer-generated model of the product and causes the computer-generated model of the product to be displayed a display associated with the display generating device and/or to be projected onto a surface whereby the computer-generated model of the product can be accurately compared with an image of the object of interest or the object of interest itself.
