Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 3:
4. A computing system for identifying SKUs in a stack of a plurality of packages comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable media storing:
at least one machine learning model that has been trained with a plurality of images of packages; and
instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to:

a) receive a plurality of stack images of the stack of the plurality of packages, wherein each of the plurality of stack images is of a different face of the stack of the plurality of packages, the plurality of stack images including a first stack image of a first face of the stack of the plurality of packages and a second stack image of a second face of the stack of the plurality of packages, wherein the first face of the stack of the plurality of packages abuts the second face of the stack of the plurality of packages at a first second corner;
b) segment the first stack image and the second stack image into a plurality of package faces, including first package faces in a first layer of the stack of the plurality of packages;
c) using the at least one machine learning model, infer a first SKU based upon each of the first package faces, such that each of the first package faces are associated with the first SKU;
d) based upon step b), detect a hidden package of the plurality of packages, wherein the hidden package is not visible in any of the plurality of stack images; and
e) based upon steps c) and d), determine that the hidden package is associated with the first SKU.
