Patent number: 9672506Abstract: A product identification apparatus includes a storage device which stores a dictionary including reference data of each of a plurality of products stored in association with identification information of the product, an imaging section which captures image data of a target product, and a processor which performs a dictionary registration process. The processor extracts reference data of the target product from the image data captured by the imaging section. The storage device adds the extracted reference data to previously stored reference data in association with the identification information of the target product. Alternatively, the storage device stores the extracted reference data in association with the identification information of the target product when no reference data is previously stored in association with the identification information of the target product.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Masatsugu Fukuda

Publication number: 20160371769Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes at least extraction, first calculation, recognition, determination, operation receiving, and recording modules. The extraction module extracts a feature amount from an image of a commodity captured by an image capturing module. The first calculation module compares a feature amount of each commodity registered in a dictionary with the extracted feature amount to calculate a similarity degree. The recognition module recognizes, as a commodity candidate, a commodity having a similarity degree higher than a threshold value from registered commodities. The determination module determines, as the captured commodity, a commodity candidate having a highest similarity degree from recognized commodity candidates. The operation receiving module receives operation for instructing an occurrence of incorrect recognition for the determined commodity candidate.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2016Publication date: December 22, 2016Inventors: Shigeki Nimiya, Takashi Shibuya, Youji Tsunoda, Masatsugu Fukuda
