Claim:
1. A method to perform inventory display auditing, the method comprising: comparing, by executing an instruction with a processor, a reference image of an inventory display obtained during a prior audit of the inventory display with a current image captured by a camera to determine whether the current image corresponds to the same inventory display as the reference image; when the current image is determined to correspond to the same inventory display as the reference image, identifying, by executing an instruction with the processor, a difference region in the current image corresponding to a portion of the inventory display that changed relative to the prior audit; and while the current image is displayed on a display screen, overlaying, by executing an instruction with the processor, an outline and text on the difference region in the current image to indicate a change in product inventory in the portion of the inventory display.
