Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of airport arrival luggage delivery and retrieval, and more particularly to an integrated arrival luggage delivery and retrieval intelligent confirmation system and method. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the global air transport industry, the operating pressure of airports is increasing. Among them, the placement of luggage on the carousel and the collection of passengers after luggage arrival is one of the important links in airport operations, and it is also the last stop of the passenger luggage "journey". Whether the luggage reaches the passengers quickly and accurately directly affects the passengers' travel experience.

[0003] At present, at traditional airports, after the plane arrives, ground staff will unload the luggage from the plane and transport it to the corresponding baggage claim carousel for delivery. Passengers will identify their luggage based on its appearance at the carousel and claim it. Airport staff need to scan these labels at the exit to confirm whether the luggage claimed by the passenger is correct.

[0004] However, there are still some problems in practical application: first, when ground staff put luggage on the carousel, there may be mistakes or omissions; second, the existing system requires airport staff to perform a lot of manual operations, especially during the peak period of baggage retrieval, when staff need to handle a large amount of luggage and passengers, which puts them under great pressure and makes it easy for omissions to occur, affecting passenger satisfaction; in addition, the existing technology lacks the binding of passenger and luggage information and images. When looking for problematic luggage afterwards, it often takes a lot of time and manpower to check, which is inefficient and cannot quickly solve the problem.

[0005] Therefore, how to design a more efficient, accurate and safe intelligent confirmation method for delivering and retrieving arriving luggage is an urgent problem that technicians in this field need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0041] Airport data exchange platform, used to provide flight, passenger and baggage information to computer systems;

[0042] Computer system, used for data binding, data comparison, calculation and tracking of baggage location, image recognition analysis and data traceability query based on data from baggage information collection devices, extraction carousels and conveyor lines, video monitoring devices and airport data interaction platforms;

[0043] Prompt alarm equipment is installed at the baggage delivery port and the exit of the baggage claim hall, and is used for image display and voice prompt alarm.

[0044] In order to further implement the above technical solution, the baggage information collection device includes at least one of an RFID device, an ATR device, an OCR device and at least one camera.

[0045] In this embodiment, at least one baggage information collection device is installed above the baggage delivery port or the baggage claim carousel and the conveying line 2 in the direction of baggage conveying.

[0046] In order to further implement the above technical solution, according to the size of the baggage claim area, several video surveillance devices are set up on the inner side of the baggage claim carousel and conveyor line. At least one video surveillance device is installed at each exit of the baggage claim hall to ensure full coverage of the current carousel area and identification of passengers at the exit. The video surveillance device is an intelligent surveillance camera;

[0047] Specifically: When a passenger walks to the baggage claim area, the surveillance camera captures the passenger's facial image and tracks it dynamically. At the same time, the human behavior posture analysis algorithm and image analysis technology are used to monitor and analyze the passenger's behavior, posture, and luggage status in real time to determine whether the passenger has claimed the luggage and whether the luggage has left the current location. The passenger's portrait information for claiming the luggage is bound to the luggage information claimed at the current location, thereby establishing a corresponding relationship between the current passenger and the luggage. When the passenger arrives at the exit, the surveillance camera captures the passenger's facial image and compares it with the passenger information in the database for confirmation. If an abnormality is found, such as the luggage claimed by the passenger does not match his or her identity, the system prompts the passenger through the display screen or voice system that the luggage claim is incorrect, and issues an alarm and notifies airport staff to handle it. The automatic identification and binding functions can greatly reduce the burden on staff while also providing a basis for tracing subsequent problematic luggage.

[0048] In order to further implement the above technical solution, an integrated arriving baggage delivery and retrieval intelligent confirmation system also includes a switch, and a baggage information collection device, a video monitoring device and a prompt alarm device are connected to the computer system through the switch.

[0053] S2. The baggage enters the claim carousel and conveyor line, and the computer system calculates the position of the baggage on the claim carousel and conveyor line in real time;

[0054] S3. When the baggage is transported to the baggage claim area, the video surveillance equipment collects real-time images of the transported baggage and the passengers passing by;

[0055] S4. When a passenger collects his / her luggage, the computer system uses the behavior and image analysis technology to identify whether the passenger has collected his / her luggage based on the images collected by the video surveillance equipment, and binds the passenger's identity information and the luggage information collected at the current location to establish a corresponding relationship between the passenger and the luggage collected;

[0056] S5. When the passenger arrives at the exit, the computer system uses facial recognition technology to confirm the passenger and the luggage according to the images collected by the video surveillance equipment. If any abnormal situation is found, the system will prompt through the prompt alarm device at the exit.

[0057] In order to further implement the above technical solution, in step S2, the computer system automatically calculates the current position of the luggage according to the speed and conveying direction of the reclaim carousel and its conveying line, and realizes the position tracking of the luggage on the reclaim carousel and its conveying line.
