Abstract: A school food and beverage recognition and processing system includes a self-checkout system that attaches to a school meal line. The self-checkout system uses multiple cameras to obtain images of a student for identification and images of a meal, identify contents of the meal, and determine whether the meal qualifies for reimbursement through a health program or agency. In addition to determining meal reimbursement qualifications, the self-checkout system tracks the meals and items sold for inventory and purchasing purposes. The self-checkout system sends reports to the school or administration agency including reimbursement information, inventory information, and customer information. This information is used to update a student's prepaid school meal account and track transactions.
