Abstract
A method is provided for assigning a classification to consumer packaged goods (CPGs). The method includes capturing an image of a plurality of CPGs arranged on a shelf; providing the captured image to a CPG detector; identifying all of the CPGs in the image; producing a set of cropped images, wherein each cropped image shows a single CPG as it appears in the image; and for each member of the set of cropped images, assigning a classification to the CPG in the member of the set of cropped images and establishing a confidence for the assigned classification through a process that includes the steps of (a) identifying a first set of reference images of CPGs whose classification is known, wherein each member of the first set of reference images is semantically similar to the member of the set of cropped images, and (b) identifying details in the member of the set of cropped images that differentiates it from a second set of reference images of CPGs whose classification is known.
