Problems solved by technology

[0003] In many large-volume sales places, through the salesperson's familiarity with the products and prices, manual identification and calculation, it is inevitable that omissions and mistakes will occur
Even in large supermarkets, although the barcode is scanned and the price is automatically calculated at the checkout, the salesperson must be familiar with the internal number of the product when the supermarket is weighing, so as to accurately print out the barcode with the product name and price information for the cashier.
In canteens and restaurants, although there are some automatic pricing methods, such as: RFID, but the cost is high, and it is impossible to monitor
These non-automatic pricing occasions all increase labor, or reduce efficiency, or require manual proficiency and general intelligence

[0056] The first embodiment is applied to university cafeterias, staff restaurants or urban fast food in assembly lines. In extreme cases, unmanned operation can save a large number of food-packing personnel: meals are prepared in advance with various shapes of dinner plates representing different prices. Put it at the window, diners take it away and calculate the price at the cashier, and pay by swiping their card. In addition, a card vending office can be set up to sell member top-up cards and temporary cards, and the balance of the temporary cards will be refunded when the temporary card is gone.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an automatic pricing method. The method comprises: 101) acquiring a picture of a priced commodity; 102) extracting an image of the priced commodity from the picture by image division; 103) extracting image features from the image of the commodity, and the image features are the contour, the color, the texture or a combination thereof; 104) identifying the priced commodity by fuzzy matching; and 105) calculating a price according to an identification result or obtaining the calculation price by searching a unit price reference and combining the weight of the priced commodity. The automatic pricing method applies an intelligent image identification technology, thus greatly reducing labour requirements and labour, and improving the pricing correction rate and the pricing efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to automatic vending, artificial intelligence and image recognition technology, in particular to an automatic pricing method, especially applied to canteens and large-volume sales places. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology and economy, the labor cost is already high and will become higher and higher, and the industry has also entered the era of Industry 4.0. How to replace labor, reduce manpower, and reduce labor costs has become the focus and mainstream direction of today's social development. [0003] In many large-volume sales places, through the salesperson's familiarity with the products and prices, manual identification and calculation, it is inevitable that omissions and mistakes will occur. Even in large supermarkets, although the barcode is scanned and the price is automatically calculated at the checkout, the salesperson must be familiar with the internal serial number of the pr...
