Information processing apparatus, store system and information processing method

Abstract

The invention provides an information processing apparatus, a store system and an information processing method, thereby improving operability. The information processing apparatus comprises: a reference value changing unit which reduces the reference value when a color attribute of frame images of object images shot by a shooting part does not exceed the predetermined reference value; a similarity calculation unit which calculates a similarity degree of object images included in frame images and reference images of products registered in a lexicon when the collected color attribute of the frame images exceeds the predetermined reference value; a product candidate extraction unit which extracts candidates of registered products corresponding to the object based on the similarity degree; and a determining unit which determines the candidates of the registered products as the registered products corresponding to the object when the reference value changing unit does not perform treatment of reference value reduction for the candidates of the registered products, or the reference value changing unit performs treatment of reference value reduction for the candidates of the registered products and the product is deep in color.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of the Japanese application with the filing date of February 29, 2012 and the application number JP2012-044238, and cites the content of the above application. technical field [0002] The invention relates to an information processing device, a store system and an information processing method. Background technique [0003] At present, there is known a technique related to general object recognition. From the image data of the target item (object) captured by an image sensor device, the feature value of the target item is extracted and compared with the previously prepared lexicon. The verification uses the data (features) to compare and calculate the similarity, and according to the calculated similarity, identify (detect) the category of the item, etc. In addition, a store system is proposed in which the technology related to general object recognition is used for recognition of products such as fruits and vegetables, and sales ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, for example, when a deep-colored object such as an eggplant is used as an object recognition object, since it is difficult to have a difference in color attributes (such as brightness) and the difference from the background frame image is small, there is a possibility that the object cannot be recognized. Circumstances of identification processing

[0006] In addition, even when the object recognition process can be started, it may be misrecognized because the difference with the background frame image is small.
