An information processing apparatus () includes a product recognition unit (), a shelf label recognition unit (), and a determination unit (). The product recognition unit () recognizes the number of types of products or positions of each type of products from a target image. The shelf label recognition unit () recognizes the number or positions of shelf labels indicating information of the products from the target image. The determination unit () determines whether or not there is an error in a relationship between the recognized number of types of products and the recognized number of shelf labels or in a relationship between the recognized positions of each type of products and the recognized positions of the shelf labels.

Information processing apparatus, control method, and program

Provided are a checkout device, a control method, and a storage medium that can smoothly perform a checkout process for a customer in accordance with a status. The checkout device includes: a first input/output unit; a second input/output unit provided to face a different direction from the first input/output unit; and a control unit that selects an input/output unit which accepts input related to a checkout process from the first input/output unit and the second input/output unit based on at least one of status of the checkout device and time.

Checkout device, control method, and storage medium

A product registration apparatus () includes a comparison unit () and a registration unit (). The comparison unit () compares a first frame and a second frame of a video. The second frame is generated at a time later than the first frame. The comparison unit () determines a product that is not included in the first frame but included in the second frame. Then, the registration unit () registers the determined product (product that is not included in the first frame but included in the second frame) as a payment target.

There is provided a checkout apparatus () including an image data acquisition unit () which acquires data on an image, an image analysis unit () which recognizes a product in the image, using a feature value of appearance of each of a plurality of products registered in a feature value storage unit () and the image data; a registration unit () which registers the product recognized by the image analysis unit () as a checkout target, and a projection unit () which projects an image related to a checkout process on the product and/or a placement surface of a placement platform of the product.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and non-transitory storage medium

A checkout apparatus () includes an image data acquisition unit () that acquires data of an image; an image analysis unit () that recognizes a plurality of products in the image using a feature value of an exterior of each of the products registered in a feature value storage unit () and the data of the image; a reading necessity or non-necessity check unit () that extracts the product for which it is necessary to read a product code from among the recognized products, using an object-to-be-read storage unit () in which the product for which it is necessary to read the product code is registered in advance; and a reading unit () that reads the product code of the product extracted by the reading necessity or non-necessity check unit ().
