Embodiment 1

[0082] First, the first embodiment provides a shelf inspection equipment, see figure 2 , the shelf inspection device includes a plurality of image acquisition units 21 and a data processing unit 22 .

[0083] Wherein, the plurality of image acquisition units 21 are used for synchronously performing multi-frame image acquisition during the movement of the shelf inspection equipment in the length direction of the target shelf, wherein the plurality of image acquisition units respectively Image acquisition is performed on a partial area of ​​the target shelf in the height direction;

[0084] The data processing unit 22 is configured to splice the images collected by the plurality of image acquisition units at the same time in the height direction of the target shelf, and calculate the overlap degree of the shooting objects by comparing the image splicing results at different times. analyzing and extracting a plurality of key images, the plurality of key images are used to resto...

Embodiment 2

[0111] The second embodiment provides a shelf inspection method from the perspective of the server, see Figure 4 , the method can include:

[0112]S401: Receive the image data about the target shelf submitted by the shelf inspection equipment. Image acquisition is performed in some areas, and the image data is spliced ​​in the height direction of the target shelf by splicing the images collected by the multiple image acquisition units at the same time, and shooting the image splicing results at different moments Object coincidence analysis, obtained after extracting multiple key images;

[0113] S402: Determine an inspection result of the target shelf according to the received image data.

[0114] During specific implementation, a shelf inspection task can also be generated and delivered to the shelf inspection device and / or a client associated with the shelf inspection device, and the shelf inspection task includes the target shelf identification information.

[0115] Wh...

Embodiment 3

[0118] The third embodiment provides a shelf inspection method from the perspective of a client installed and running in a mobile terminal device, see Figure 5 , the method can include:

[0119] S501: Before starting the inspection on the target shelf, establish a communication connection with the shelf inspection device; the shelf inspection device includes a plurality of image acquisition units; Part of the area in the height direction is used for image acquisition;

[0120] S502: Receive and display the image data provided by the shelf inspection equipment, the image data includes: splicing the images collected by the multiple image acquisition units at the same time in the height direction of the target shelf The obtained image data, so as to initialize the configuration of the shelf inspection equipment according to the displayed image data;

[0121] Wherein, the initialization configuration includes configuration of an image acquisition range of the image acquisition ...

Abstract

The embodiment of the present application discloses a shelf inspection method and a shelf inspection device. The shelf inspection device includes a data processing unit and a plurality of image acquisition units; During the process of moving the device in the length direction of the target shelf, multiple frames of image acquisition are performed synchronously, wherein the multiple image acquisition units respectively perform image acquisition on partial areas of the target shelf in the height direction; the data processing A unit for splicing the images collected by the plurality of image acquisition units at the same time in the height direction of the target shelf, and analyzing the coincidence degree of the shooting objects on the image splicing results at different times to extract multiple images A key image, the plurality of key images are used to restore the display of goods in the height direction and the length direction of the target shelf, so as to obtain the inspection result of the target shelf. It can realize the digital inspection of the display of goods on the shelf at a lower cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The application relates to the technical field of digital inspection, in particular to a shelf inspection method and shelf inspection equipment. Background technique [0002] As the digital transformation of shopping malls, supermarkets and other stores is getting higher and higher, the demand for inspection and inventory of the display of goods on the shelves in a digital way is also becoming more and more prominent. The so-called patrol inspection is to know the status of the product on the shelf, including whether it is out of stock, whether the product corresponds to the price tag, whether it meets the standard display design, and so on. [0003] In order to achieve the purpose of digital patrol inspection, in one way, automatic navigation equipment can be used to collect images of shelves to judge whether a product is out of stock, whether the product and the price tag correspond, and count the number of sides of the product on the shelf , It can...
