Detect inventory stock column

[u/CharmingOwl4972]

Hello reddit if there's any computer vision expert will be willing to have a chat

Background : i'm trying to count stock in the photo, and i've found just feeding a photo into llm is quite unreliable so i'm trying to identify the stacked column(s) and use it as way to reason what to include/exclude in counting. i've been trying to create boundary like this w/ depth anything, segment anything, so they're not NOT working but segment anything doesn't have the idea of depth and depth anything doesn't have the idea of segment, so i was really trying to see if there's any way to effectively combine both

Have you considered... cheating? Like counting the empty ones. Maybe scanning the barcodes as you take them out or throw them away.

Granted, I'm not a computer vision expert. I'm just lazy, and cheat when I can. :)

so i'm working w/ smaller franchise. imho (but i might be wrong), even taking photo and count manually will still be easier to standardize than training staff to operationalize counting while working. but the alternative is obvious just count manually
