Grocery detection and cleaning method in corridors
The patent US12067792B2 outlines a method and system for detecting groceries in a corridor using a mobile terminal. The process begins with capturing an image of the corridor, followed by pedestrian and grocery detection. If a pedestrian is detected, the system processes the image to remove the pedestrian, allowing for a clearer analysis of the grocery items. The processed image is then compared to a preset corridor image to assess similarity. If a grocery item is detected or if the similarity falls below a certain threshold, a grocery cleaning instruction is generated based on the corridor's identifier, prompting action in the corresponding area.
Further claims detail additional steps for refining the detection process. If the similarity is above the threshold, the system calculates the coordinates of both the pedestrian and grocery images to determine their proximity. If they are within a specified distance, the system collects further images at preset intervals to verify the presence of groceries. The method includes mechanisms for updating the detection model based on new images and ensuring that the identifiers of detected pedestrians and groceries match. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the accuracy of grocery detection while minimizing interference from pedestrians, ultimately facilitating efficient grocery management in public spaces.
