Abstract
In one embodiment, a recognition system has an imaging device, a storage device, and a first processor. The first processor extracts a feature amount of an article contained in image data outputted by the imaging device. The first processor recognizes a commodity to which the detected article corresponds, based on similarities between feature amounts for collation of a first commodity and a second commodity stored in the storage device and the extracted feature amount, and selects the recognized commodity from the storage device, as the commodity to which the detected article corresponds, provided that the recognized corresponding commodity is not the first commodity.
