Assignee: INSIGHT DIRECT USA, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 19:
20. A cycle counter configured to generate product counts for a physical grouping formed by a plurality of physical product, the cycle counter comprising:
control circuitry; and
memory encoded with instructions that, when executed by the control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to:
identify visible surfaces of the plurality of physical products based on captured image data received by an image-captured device and by a recognition computer vision model trained on baseline image data corresponding to physical parameters of the plurality of physical products, to generate identified visible surfaces;
generate image coordinates for the identified visible surfaces, wherein each image coordinate is a two-dimensional coordinate associated with one of the identified visible surfaces;
generate a virtual product grouping and base coordinates corresponding to a plurality of virtual products forming the virtual product grouping, wherein each base coordinate is a three-dimensional coordinate associated with a virtual product of the plurality of virtual products;
associate each identified visible surface with a virtual surface of the plurality of virtual products based on a comparison of the image coordinates and the base coordinates;
classify each identified visible surface as horizontal or vertical, thereby generating classified visible surfaces;
determine a product count of the plurality of physical products in the physical grouping based on an order of the classified visible surfaces; and
output the product count.
