Abstract
A method includes: obtaining, from an image sensor mounted on a mobile automation apparatus, an image representing a plurality of items on a support structure in a facility; responsive to detection of the items in the image, for each item: obtaining an item region defining an area of the image containing the item; obtaining a performance metric corresponding to the item; encoding the performance metric as a visual attribute; and generating an item overlay using the visual attribute; and controlling a display to present the image, and each of the item overlays placed over the corresponding item regions.
