Abstract

One variation of a method includes: accessing an image of an inventory structure captured by a robotic system navigating within a facility; detecting an object occupying a slot in the inventory structure depicted in the image; extracting a set of visual features from the image; representing the set of visual features in a vector; projecting the vector into a multi-dimensional space populated template vectors representing product units of verified product types within the facility; calculating a similarity score between the set of visual features and template visual features represented in a cluster of template vectors in the multi-dimensional space, based on proximity between the vector and the cluster of template vectors; and, in response to the similarity score exceeding a threshold score, identifying the object as a product unit of a first product type affiliated with a first product identifier associated with the cluster of template vectors.
