Smart retail cabinet based on weighing and visual recognition and operating method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a smart retail cabinet based on weighing and visual recognition. The smart retail cabinet comprises a commercial freezer cabinet, an industrial personal computer, a display device, weighing sensors, a monitoring camera, an auxiliary recognition camera, a human-computer interaction module, an electronic price tag controller, a color liquid crystal display screen electronic price tag, a temperature sensor, a Hall sensor and an electric plug lock assembly. The auxiliary recognition camera for monitoring the opening process of a cabinet door is arranged in the display device, wherein the viewing monitoring angle of the auxiliary recognition camera is the moving range of the cabinet door. The weighing sensors are implanted in the bottoms of all layer racks and are used for tracking weight information of all cargo tracks. In addition, the invention also discloses a method for operating a smart retail cabinet based on weighing and visual recognition. According to the invention, on the basis of integration of the weighing and visual recognition modes, the success rate of commodity identification is up to 99%; because of level division of the layer racks and the precise design of the cargo track width, a commodity number problem is solved; and the user makes payment for consumption simply and conveniently and the basic information of the user can be obtained, so that the precise marketing positioning is realized.

Description
