They already do this using security cameras. How do you think the manufacturers know which shelves and the placements of them to bid on?

- dharmab 5y agoAlso by tracking your phone's bluetooth and wireless radios! It's a bit fuzzy but useful enough to be generally actionable.
- andrewxdiamond 5y agoThis type of placement scoring is almost never done via security cameras. The CV and data storage costs required for that to work at scale would be enormous. It’s much easier and cheaper to just record what shelve/height/area products are placed in and reconcile that data with sales. The data will be more noisy, but you can capture so much more valuable information for the same investment. You can also usually apply the models in retrospect, since most larger chains already record where products are supposed to be. Cameras are really only used at corporate test stores in small numbers. Camera data is usually looked at manually and only focuses on a specific product or area.
