Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program product for managing a physical inventory. Image data from a number of cameras is processed to recognize inventory items from identifying indicia and determine their respective locations to build a three-dimensional model of the inventory item distribution. Comparison with a database model of the inventory item distribution may indicate discrepancies, such as misplaced items. A picking agent may be dispatched to pick a target item by following a particular path, which may be designated in an overlay on a portable heads-up display. The picking agent may also perform a corrective inventory management action on a non-target item while picking the target item. The corrective inventory management action may include repositioning an item, reorienting the item for better visibility of its identifying indicia, replacing the item's identifying indicia, determining if the item is of expected weight, and gathering new image data.

Claim (Index 20):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embedded therein a set of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:\n constructing a three-dimensional model of an inventory item distribution from image data in substantially real time;\n designating a target item to be picked; \n computing an optimal path for picking the target item; \n dynamically identifying a corrective inventory management action to be performed on a non-target item; and \n dynamically computing a combined optimal path for picking the target item and performing the corrective inventory management action on the non-target item
