Publication number: 20230351726Abstract: By processing an image in which a plurality of articles (such as products) placed on a shelf are captured, an image processing unit (120) determines the article name (such as the product name) of each of the plurality of articles captured in the image. Determining an article name also includes determining identification information tied to the article name. When a specific condition is satisfied for an article the article name of which is indeterminable by the image processing unit (120) (hereinafter described as an undetermined article), an article inference unit (130) infers the article name of the undetermined article to be the article name of an article positioned adjacent to the undetermined article.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: NEC CorporationInventors: Yaeko Yonezawa, Kaito Horita, Takaaki Iwabuchi, Akiko Kubo
