Information processing device, store system, and information processing method

Abstract

An information processing apparatus comprises a similarity calculation unit calculates a similarity showing the degree of similarity between the image of an object captured and the reference image of each registered commodity, which is registered together with a superior category showing information relevant with each registered commodity registered in a dictionary, a determination unit compares the degree of similarity between the reference image and each image acquired by an acquisition unit and determines whether or not the degree of similarity of the superior category acquired by adding the similarities of a plurality of varieties belonging to the same superior category meets a specified condition and a reporting unit reports the information relevant with a commodity corresponding to the plurality of varieties meeting the specified condition as a candidate of a captured commodity in the situation that the determination unit determines that the specified condition is met.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of the Japanese application with the application number JP2012-006435 and the filing date as January 16, 2012, and the content of the above application is cited in this application. technical field [0002] The invention relates to an information processing device, a store system and an information processing method. Background technique [0003] In recent years, there has been a technique related to general object recognition, which extracts the feature value of the target item (object) from the image data of the target item (object) captured by the image sensor device, and compares it with the previously prepared thesaurus. The similarity is calculated by comparing the collation data (features), and the type of the article is identified (detected) based on the calculated similarity. In addition, a store system is proposed in which the technology related to the general object recognition is used for the recognition of products suc...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, when the category is recognized (detected) when the similarity is calculated as a relative evaluation, the similarity of each category becomes lower as the item category (commodity) contains more varieties, and the As a result, as a candidate product for the target object, multiple items may be recognized mixed with other products, which may hinder the selection of the product on the contrary.
