Abstract
A camera is used to acquire images. Labels are detected in the images. The labels contain a barcode and product information. The product information is analyzed (e.g., by optical character recognition) to obtain a plurality of scan descriptions. Scan descriptions are matched with catalog descriptions to obtain stock keeping units (SKUs). The SKUs are mapped to locations within an environment based on position data of the camera at the time images are acquired.
