Abstract

A computer-implemented method for generating an aroma map is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes learning one or more aromas associated with one or more items. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying a presence of an item within a venue based on comparing one or more aromas detected by one or more sensors located within the venue with one or more learned aromas associated with the item. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying a micro-location of the item based, at least in part, on a location of the one or more sensors which detected the aroma. The computer-implemented method further includes generating an aroma map geospatially indicating the micro-location of the item within the venue.
