Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure include apparatuses, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products for automatic product verification and shelf product gap analysis. Some embodiments utilize a multi-imager imaging engine to capture at least two image data objects associated with at least a near field and a far field via corresponding near and far-field imagers. The far field image data object in some embodiments is processed to identify, and/or detect and decode, product information on a product label at a shelving location for future processing. The near-field image data object may be processed to identify a product set located within the environment surrounding the product label. The information identified from each image data object may be processed to identify whether one or more product mismatches, pricing mismatches, and/or product gaps are present at the shelving location, with improved likelihood of success for each task.
