Abstract
A system for processing images captured in a retail store and differentiating between products with similar visual appearances is provided. The system may comprise at least one processor configured to receive at least one image depicting a store shelf having a product displayed thereon, analyze the at least one image to detect the product, determine that the detected product is either a first type of product or a second type of product, analyze the at least one image to determine a price associated with the detected product, determine that the detected product is of the first type of product when the determined price falls within a first price range associated with the first type of product, and determine that the detected product is of the second type of product when the determined price falls within a second price range associated with the second type of product.
