Abstract
A camera on a robot is used to acquire images of a shelving unit. Locations of labels are detected and cropped from the images to form segments. The segments are analyzed to obtain scan descriptions, without decoding barcodes on the labels. The scan descriptions are compared to catalog descriptions to match scan descriptions to catalog descriptions. Products can then be mapped within an environment.
