Abstract
Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed that recognize products using visual and textual information. An example apparatus includes classification circuitry to classify object facings detected in a shelf image to determine object candidates corresponding to a first object, ones of the object candidates to include a respective image-based metric; cluster circuitry to assign words extracted from the shelf image to the first object; rank adjuster circuitry to generate text-based metrics for the object candidates by comparing respective object characteristics of the object candidates to the words, ones of the text-based metrics corresponding to respective ones of the object candidates; and prediction circuitry to determine final metrics for the object candidates by selecting, for the ones of the object candidates, (a) a respective image-based metric or (b) a combination of the respective image-based metric and a respective text-based metric; and rank the object candidates using the final metrics.
