Abstract
A method for generating training examples for a product recognition model is disclosed. The method includes capturing images of a product using an array of cameras. A product identifier for the product is associated with each of the images. A bounding box for the product is identified in each of the images. The bounding boxes are smoothed temporally. A segmentation mask for the product is identified in each bounding box. The segmentation masks are optimized to generate an optimized set of segmentation masks. A machine learning model is trained using the optimized set of segmentation masks to recognize an outline of the product. The machine learning model is run to generate a set of further-optimized segmentation masks. The bounding box and further-optimized segmentation masks from each image are stored in a master training set with its product identifier as a training example to be used to train a product recognition model.
