Claim 0:
1. A system for mapping objects on a shelving unit using image analysis, the system comprising:
a camera comprising an image sensor configured to acquire a plurality of image frames; and
one or more processors configured to:
receive a plurality of images acquired by the camera;
identify a first item code in the plurality of images;
identify a second item code in the plurality of images;
track a position of the first item code in the plurality of images without decoding the first item code in at least one or more of the plurality of images;
track a position of the second item code in the plurality of images without decoding the second item code in at least one or more of the plurality of images;
compute, using an image of the plurality of images that includes the first item code and the second item code, a distance and an orientation of the first item code with respect to the second item code;
calibrate the distance and the orientation to a shelving diagram; and
generate a first vector comprising the first item code and a relative position of the first item code to the shelving diagram;
generate a second vector comprising the second item code and a relative position of the second item code to the shelving diagram.
