Abstract
An automated inventory monitoring system includes an image capture module able to create an image of an aisle of a retail store. Product images and shelf label and peg label images are identified in the image and products are associated with product labels based on the positioning of the products with respect to the labels. Based on the association between labels and products, out-of-stock products are detected and reported to the retail store.
