Problems solved by technology

The problem with this approach is that once the user picks up the item and returns it to the wrong location, the shopping list and inventory updates are inaccurate
[0006] By studying the above three technical solutions, even if those skilled in the art combine them, they cannot obtain a satisfactory unmanned shopping environment
Especially for unmanned supermarkets where many people shop at the same time, the challenge is even greater

Embodiment 1

[0039] The present invention discloses a management system based on image processing. In the case of no conflict or contradiction, preferred implementations of other embodiments can be used as supplements to this embodiment.

[0040] According to a preferred embodiment, see figure 1 , the system may include: a first image acquisition device 11, which is used to acquire a first image, and the system determines the absolute position of at least one person in the area where the shelf is located and the relative position of the person relative to at least one The relative position of a shelf containing at least one item. Preferably, corresponding reference points and / or reference lines for identification may be provided on the ground to assist the system in determining absolute and relative positions.

[0041] Preferably, the absolute position refers to the position in the coordinate system established for the supermarket or warehouse to which the inventory management system is a...

Embodiment 2

[0065] This embodiment is a further improvement on Embodiment 1, and repeated content will not be repeated here. In the case of no conflict or contradiction, preferred implementation manners of other embodiments may serve as supplements to this embodiment.

[0066] The invention also discloses a management method based on image processing, which can be realized by the system of the invention and other alternatives. For example, the method of the present invention is implemented by using various components in the system.

[0067] According to a preferred embodiment, the method may include: using at least one first image acquisition device 11 for acquiring a first image, and the management system determines that at least one person is in the area where the shelf is located based on the first image and the relative position of the person relative to at least one shelf carrying at least one item; using at least one second image acquisition device 12 for detecting a second image o...

Embodiment 3

[0070] This embodiment is a further improvement on Embodiments 1 and 2 or their combination, and repeated content will not be repeated here. In the case of no conflict or contradiction, preferred implementation manners of other embodiments may serve as supplements to this embodiment.

[0071] According to a preferred embodiment, when the weather is haze and / or rainy when shopping, the shopping container 40 can prompt the person to place a mask and / or an umbrella according to the relative position of the person determined in the second image. The position of the shelf, and the absolute position of the person determined according to the second image, shows the route of the person from the absolute position to the shelf where the mask and / or umbrella is placed. In this way, it is possible to quickly provide personnel with route references for commonly used items under corresponding weather conditions, and it can greatly save time for those who specialize in entering the store to ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a management system and method based on image processing. The method includes: using at least one first image acquisition device for acquiring a first image to determine the absolute position of at least one person in the area where the shelf is located and the person relative position with respect to at least one shelf carrying at least one item; using at least one second image capture device for detecting a second image of the hand of at least one person; using at least one third image capture device for A third image for detecting the hand of at least one person; wherein, based on a comparison of the second image and the third image, it is determined that the state of the corresponding person holding the object is identified in response to the state of the person holding the object The change of at least one inventory position of the shelf in the predetermined relative position around the absolute position, and thereby determine the correspondence between the item and the change of the inventory position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a management system and method, in particular to a management system and method based on image processing. Background technique [0002] When unmanned supermarkets are gradually rising, how to synchronize and accurately update the shopping list and inventory in unmanned supermarkets has become a hot issue. [0003] The Chinese patent document with the publication number CN105531715A discloses an inventory update method based on image detection, wherein the update of the inventory and the shopping list are determined by comparing the images before and after picking up the goods. The problem with this approach is that once the user picks up the item and returns it to the wrong location, the shopping list and inventory updates are inaccurate. In addition, when the user makes repeated comparisons between areas of similar types and similar placement positions, it will bring challenges to photography and calculation. Shoppi...
