Abstract

A system for processing images captured in a retail store is provided. The system may include at least one processor configured to receive an image depicting a store shelf having at least one bottle displayed thereon and analyze the image to detect a representation in the image of the at least one bottle. The at least one bottle may have an outline design. The at least one processor is also configured to identify in the image two outline elements being associated with the outline design of the at least one bottle. Each of the two outline elements may have a specific length. The at least one processor may further be configured to determine a size of the at least one bottle based on a comparison of the lengths of the two outline elements.
