Claim 13:
14. A computer system associated with a facility comprising:
a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
a plurality of cameras located at a receiving area of the facility and configured to capture images of a package;
a plurality of sensors associated with the facility and configured to obtain physical attributes of the package; and
a processor in communication with the memory configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
receive the images of the package from the plurality of cameras;
generate a visual vector for the package in a vector space of package attributes using the images;
receive the physical attributes of the package;
determine 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 historically received packages;
determine 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 an 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;
obtain, for a particular package of the ranked subset of candidate packages, an identifier associated with the particular package; and
retrieve, 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.
