System and method for mapping a location of each of a plurality of devices in a data center. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving image data comprising an image of at least a portion of the data center from a source; processing the image data to locate visual identifiers displayed in the image, wherein each of the visual identifiers is associated with one of the devices or with a spatial reference point; extracting the located visual identifiers and determining spatial coordinates for each of the identified visual identifiers from the image; and determining the spatial reference points from the image. The method further comprises developing groups based on extracted visual identifiers and spatial coordinates thereof and the spatial reference points, wherein allowances are made for an angle of the image, wherein each group comprises a subset of related ones of the devices; for each group, comparing each of the visual identifiers of the group with a key to determine information regarding the associated device to obtain processing results; and combining processing results corresponding to multiple images to remove redundant information and produce final results.
