Shopper Analytics: A Customer Activity Recognition System Using a Distributed RGB-D Camera Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present an integrated system consisted of a RGB-D camera and a software able to monitor shoppers in intelligent retail environments. We propose an innovative low cost smart system that can understand the shoppers’ behavior and, in particular, their interactions with the products in the shelves, with the aim to develop an automatic RGB-D technique for video analysis. The system of cameras detects the presence of people and univocally identifies them. Through the depth frames, the system detects the interactions of the shoppers with the products on the shelf and determines if a product is picked up or if the product is taken and then put back and finally, if there is not contact with the products. The system is low cost and easy to install, and experimental results demonstrated that its performances are satisfactory also in real environments.

متن کاملA Customer Oriented Approach for Distribution System Reliability Improvement using Optimal Distributed Generation and Switch Placement
The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...
متن کاملAccurate and robust face recognition from RGB-D images with a deep learning approach
Face recognition from RGB-D images utilizes 2 complementary types of image data, i.e. colour and depth images, to achieve more accurate recognition. In this paper, we propose a face recognition system based on deep learning, which can be used to verify and identify a subject from the colour and depth face images captured with a consumer-level RGB-D camera. To recognize faces with colour and dep...
متن کاملHand Gesture Recognition from RGB-D Data using 2D and 3D Convolutional Neural Networks: a comparative study
Despite considerable enhances in recognizing hand gestures from still images, there are still many challenges in the classification of hand gestures in videos. The latter comes with more challenges, including higher computational complexity and arduous task of representing temporal features. Hand movement dynamics, represented by temporal features, have to be extracted by analyzing the total fr...
متن کاملPervasive System for Consumer Behaviour Analysis in Retail Environments
In the context of retailing, the monitoring of consumer behaviours is particularly important for supporting vendors in their management and marketing decisions. Many studies have been carried out about various aspects and consequences of different behaviours. However, only recently the potential of computing systems is being used for automated data collection and processing. In this work, we pr...
