Guys,

I’m going to create a product/service that will enable checking of a product’s availability in shelves, via the comparison of pictures taken by a fixed camera and the corresponding planogram. I'm looking for the appropiate tecnologies right now.

My intention is to create a product/service that will provide the necessary information that a given product is not available or doesn’t comply with its programmed position in the store planogram. An in-store, fixed to the ceiling or top of shelf, cell phone/camera that will send pictures every 5 minutes to a central system, which in turn will process them, compare them to the planogram for that shelf, and then take action (email, SMS or call the appropriate people ) to re-stock the product or correct the planogram.

Is this something that OpenCV can be used for? What are your recommendations?

I was looking at a paper "“How to Use SIFT Vectors to Analyze an Image with Database Templates”", and hopefuly find an SDK for what they are doing.

Your prompt recommendations are very much appreciated.

Best regards,

              Hans
