Abstract
The unmanned sales system has a weight sensor for detecting whether a product has been retrieved from or inserted into each of plural placement areas on a shelf where products to be sold are placed, a camera for capturing the products on the shelf, a moving device for moving the camera to change its capturing area, a control unit that controls the moving device to move the camera to the placement area detected by the weight sensor, and a product identification unit that identifies the retrieved or inserted product based on the image of the placement area captured by the camera. Within the unmanned sales system, the camera moves to the area where the product retrieval or insertion is detected by the weight sensor and captures that area. Since the camera captures a narrow area, the resolution of the captured image is enhanced.
