Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for identifying, inventorying and managing physical possessions. Image data is captured including one or more images or video of physical possessions of a person that occupy a space. The captured image data is automatically analyzed to recognize physical products included in the image data and to determine a position of each recognized physical product in the space. The recognized physical products are automatically inventoried including preparing a list of products. Each entry in the list includes a product name or identifying information and location information for where the product is located in the space. A representation of the space is generated including respective physical products. A user interface is provided for presenting the inventory including providing the representation of the space and displaying a representation of respective physical products in the space.
