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
[0010] Through the study of the above technical solutions, even if those skilled in the art combine them, they cannot obtain a satisfactory inventory information collection system for unmanaged complex storage shelves

Embodiment 1

[0051] The present invention discloses an image acquisition system inventory management system based on thermal characteristic images. In the case of no conflict or contradiction, preferred implementations of other embodiments can be used as supplements to this embodiment.

[0052] The system includes a thermal image collector 60 for collecting thermal images of the access mechanism 50 at rest and / or in motion, a temperature regulator 70 for adjusting the temperature of the access mechanism 50, and for controlling the temperature regulator 70 and / or Or the controller 80 of the thermal image collector 60 and the temperature detector 90 for recording the temperature value of the shelf, the access mechanism and / or the environment where the system is located in real time. When the access mechanism 50 moves, the temperature regulator 70 can adjust the temperature of the access mechanism 50 based on the instruction issued by the controller 80 to adjust the temperature of the access m...

Embodiment 2

[0058] The present invention discloses an inventory management system. On the condition that no conflict or contradiction is caused, preferred implementations of other embodiments may serve as supplements to this embodiment.

[0059] According to a preferred embodiment, see figure 1 , the system may include: a first thermal image collector 11, which is used to collect a first thermal image, and the system determines the absolute position of at least one access mechanism 50 in the area where the shelf is located based on the first thermal image And the relative position of the access mechanism 50 relative to at least one shelf carrying 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.

[0060] According to a preferred embodiment, the system may further include: a second thermal image collector 12, which is used to detect a sec...

Embodiment 3

[0081] This embodiment is a further improvement on Embodiment 2, 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.

[0082] The invention also discloses an inventory management method, 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.

[0083]According to a preferred embodiment, the method may include: using at least one first thermal image collector 11 for acquiring a first thermal image, and determining at least one access mechanism based on the first thermal image by the management system 50 in the absolute position of the shelf area and the relative position of the access mechanism 50 relative to at least one shelf carrying at least one item; using at least one second thermal image collector 12, which...

Abstract

The invention relates to an image acquisition system based on a thermal characteristic image, comprising a thermal image acquisition device for acquiring thermal images of an access mechanism in stilland / or in motion; a temperature regulator for regulating the temperature of the access mechanism; a controller for controlling a temperature regulator and / or a thermal image collector; temperature detector, shelf for real-time record, a temperature value of that environment in which the access mechanism and / or system is located, as the access mechanism moves, the temperature regulator can regulate the temperature of the access mechanism based on the instruction from the controller to regulate the temperature of the access mechanism and / or the temperature value of the temperature detector, soas to increase the temperature difference between the access mechanism and the shelf and / or the ambient temperature, so that the thermal image collector can track and record the access mechanism and generate a thermal image; when the access mechanism is stationary, the thermostat adjusts the temperature of the access mechanism to the same temperature as the shelf so that the thermal image collector no longer tracks the access mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of inventory management systems and methods, in particular to an image acquisition system based on thermal characteristic images. Background technique [0002] With the gradual rise of e-commerce, how to update inventory synchronously and accurately has become a hot issue. Especially for unmanaged warehouses, manual inventory counting is almost an impossible task. Therefore, some intelligent systems are needed to update and manage the inventory of unmanned warehouses, and the ultimate requirement in intelligent systems is information collection. The current warehouses are centralized, large-scale, and large-scale. The shelves in the unmanned warehouse area are all stacked in a truss structure. The collection of inventory information has technical problems such as weak light and short distances between shelves. How to realize the inventory information collection of this kind of warehouse is an urgent proble...
