Abstract
A system for processing images captured in a retail store is provided. The system may include a processor configured to: access a database storing a group of product models; receive an image depicting at least part of a store shelf having a plurality of products of a same type displayed thereon; analyze the image and determine a first candidate type of the products based on the group of product models and the image analysis; determine a first confidence level associated with the first candidate type; when the first confidence level is below a confidence threshold, determine a second candidate type of the products using contextual information; determine a second confidence level associated with the determined second candidate type of the plurality of products; and when the second confidence level is above the confidence threshold, initiate an action to update the group of product models stored in the database.
