Book counting method and system based on target detection and OCR technology

Abstract

The invention discloses a book counting method and system based on target detection and an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, and the method comprises the steps: directly shooting information, such as a call number and a bookshelf layer number, on a spine of an identification book of each layer through a cellphone camera, and recognizing the call number of the book and the position information of the bookshelf through the OCR technology; by using the method, the call numbers of all the books in the photo can be identified at one time, the artificial neural network trained by the labeled data is used for OCR identification, the call numbers can be accurately identified from a disordered background, pre-processing and post-processing are not needed, the accuracy rate is extremely high, the call numbers of the books on each layer are compared and stored, and the call numbers of the books on each layer are stored in real time. Therefore, it is convenient for librarians to check and manage the books on shelves, and the efficiency of book management is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a book counting method and system based on target detection and OCR technology. Background technique [0002] Existing book management, such as librarians, generally use a code scanner to scan codes or use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification, radio frequency identification chip) for returning books and putting new books on the shelves. [0003] For the code scanning with a code scanner, it is the most traditional method to obtain the book information through the code scanner to find the position, shelf number and layer number of the book shelf. For the sorting of books, it is necessary to scan the barcodes of a large number of books to determine whether the books are disordered. shelf. Using a code scanner requires the librarian to take out each book on the shelf individually, turn to the second page or the back of the book, and use the code scanner to scan the co...

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a limit to the number of reads at a time, and only a small amount of book content can be read

Moreover, the read label content only contains information such as the title of the book, and the location information of each book cannot be read, which is still useless for the management and storage of books on the shelf
