Claim 7:
8. 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;
b) segment the plurality of stack images 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 brand based upon each of the first package faces;
d) based upon step b), detect a hidden package in the first layer of the stack 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 a) to d), associate a hidden package brand with the hidden package.
