Abstract
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to updating inventory of products. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for updating inventory of products including a database; at least one image capture device; and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to: process an image by: detecting units of one or more products in the image; grouping each detected unit into one or more clusters based on at least one of textual similarities, visual similarities, geometrical similarities, or relative spatial distance; detecting a product identifier for each cluster; identifying a product corresponding to the detected product identifier of each cluster; and counting the detected units associated with each cluster. The control circuit is configured to cause an update to the inventory of products in the database based on the counted detected units of each cluster.
