Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for automatically enrolling a new object in an object library comprising:
obtaining an image of a shelf having the object thereon, detecting a label in the image of the shelf;
extracting identifying information from the label;
determining a portion of the shelf associated with the label;
determining that the portion of the shelf associated with the label contains an object;
obtaining an image of the object;
determining a best-fit match between features extracted from the image of the object and features extracted from images of objects stored in the object library;
determining that a distance between the features extracted from the image of the object and features associated with the best-fit match falls above a predetermined threshold, indicating that the object in the object image is a new object;
adding the features extracted from the image of the object to the object library; and
adding the identifying information to the object library associated with the features extracted from the image of the object.
