Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent warehousing, and in particular to a method and system for identifying the production date of goods based on AI dynamic lighting adjustment. Background Art

[0002] In the warehousing sector, especially for food and pharmaceuticals, food or medicine must be stored within their expiration date. Expired food or medicine must be removed from shelves and destroyed. Currently, manual identification of production dates is required for both incoming and outgoing goods. Existing methods for automatically identifying product production dates use various sensors, imaging technologies, and data processing algorithms. This technology is widely used in industries such as food safety, pharmaceuticals, and cargo to ensure product quality and consumer safety. In the food industry, product expiration date detection technology is particularly important, effectively preventing expired products from being mixed with expired products.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN118896962B discloses a method for detecting foreign matter in food and cargo. Specifically, the method involves adjusting the shooting parameters of an image capture device based on the intensity of ambient light to capture images of the food and cargo. The captured images are then corrected based on the color temperature of the ambient light to produce corrected images of the food and cargo. While this approach can improve image analysis accuracy by correcting image color deviations under varying lighting conditions, it suffers from the following deficiencies: It relies solely on ambient light compensation, lacks active light source control, and exhibits weak resistance to environmental interference.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose further solutions to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0019] S13: Filter the pre-stored goods with the highest cosine similarity that exceeds the preset threshold. If the threshold is not reached, it is prompted that the goods are of new material and repeat step S21.

[0020] Furthermore, step S12 further includes the following steps: based on the feature vector to be retrieved, using the formula:

[0021] Obtain the cosine similarity between the feature vector of the goods and each feature vector in the RAG product knowledge base.

[0022] Furthermore, the feature vector of the goods is a 512-dimensional feature vector extracted by the CLIP model encoder.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S1, the goods are photographed by using a camera to obtain an image of the goods to be identified.

[0024] The second aspect of the present invention provides a system based on AI dynamic lighting adjustment, including a dynamic adjustment light source module and a visual recognition module. The dynamic adjustment light source module adjusts the incident angle, color temperature and illumination parameter combination of the light source in real time according to the lighting adjustment parameters; the visual recognition module includes an image acquisition unit and an AI analysis unit.
