Abstract
Techniques are provided for identifying objects (such as products within a physical store) within a captured video scene and indicating which of object in the captured scene matches a desired object requested by a user. The matching object is then displayed in an accentuated manner to the user in real-time (via augmented reality). Object identification is carried out via a multimodal methodology. Objects within the captured video scene are identified using a neural network trained to identify different types of objects. The identified objects can then be compared against a database of pre-stored images of the desired product to determine if a close match is found. Additionally, text on the identified objects is analyzed and compared to the text of the desired object. Based on either or both identification methods, the desired object is indicated to the user on their display, via an augmented reality graphic.
