Claim 5:
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system, configure the computer system to perform operations, comprising:
receiving an image of a package from a camera associated with the computer system, the camera located at a receiving area of a facility, the facility associated with the computer system;
generating a visual vector for the package in a vector space of package attributes using the image;
receiving physical attributes of the package obtained by a plurality of sensors associated with the computer system;
determining a subset of candidate packages of a plurality of historically received packages by comparing the physical attributes of the package to the physical attributes of the plurality of historically received packages;
determining a ranking of the subset of candidate packages by identifying a distance in the vector space of the package attributes between a vector for each candidate package of the subset of candidate packages and the visual vector for the package using a nearest neighbor algorithm, the ranking of the subset of candidate packages representing a similarity between said each candidate package of the subset of candidate packages and the package within the vector space of the package attributes;
obtaining, for a particular package of the ranked subset of candidate packages, an identifier associated with the particular package; and
retrieving, from a database, data for the particular package using the identifier, the database maintaining a mapping of identifiers to data for the plurality of historically received packages, the data including at least one of a quantity of an item for the particular package or a product identifier for the particular package.
