Claim One:
1. An inventory control system comprising: a storage container including a plurality of storage locations for storing objects; an image sensing device configured to capture image data of the container, including image data of all of the plurality of storage locations, and of a target area of the container that includes an individual object storage location comprising less than the plurality of storage locations; a data storage device for storing the image data of the container; and a data processor configured to: receive initial image data representing an initial image of the plurality of storage locations, receive image data representing an image of the target area captured subsequent to the initial image, wherein an object stored in the target area when the image of the target area is captured may not be recognized based on the initial image data; modify the initial image data based on the image data of the target area to generate adjusted image data; and store the adjusted image data in the data storage device; whereby the inventory control system can be trained or re-trained to determine the inventory condition of the object stored in the target area using the adjusted image data.
