Processing apparatus, and processing method

Abstract

This invention provides a processing apparatus (10) including a container identification score computation unit (11) that computes an identification score of a container for a product, based on an image to be processed containing the product, a product identification score computation unit (12) that computes an identification score of the product, based on the image to be processed, and a first identification unit (13) that decides identification information of the product, based on the computed identification score of the container and the computed identification score of the product.

1 . A processing apparatus comprising:
 at least one memory configured to store one or more instructions; and   at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:   determine an appearance feature including at least one of a shape, a color, and a size of a product, based on an image to be processed containing the product;   estimate identification information of the product, based on the image to be processed; and   decide identification information of the product, based on the determined appearance feature and the estimated identification information of the product.   
     
     
         2 . The processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to decide the identification information of the product, based on the determined appearance feature, from candidates for the identification information of the product having an identification score equal to or higher than a reference value.   
     
     
         3 . The processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to decide candidates for the identification information of the product, based on the determined appearance feature, and perform processing of estimating identification information of the product, using the decided candidates for the identification information of the product as a target to be collated.   
     
     
         4 . A processing method executed by a computer comprising:
 determining an appearance feature including at least one of a shape, a color, and a size of a product, based on an image to be processed containing the product;   estimating identification information of the product, based on the image to be processed; and   deciding identification information of the product, based on the determined appearance feature and the estimated identification information of the product.   
     
     
         5 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to:
 determine an appearance feature including at least one of a shape, a color, and a size of a product, based on an image to be processed containing the product;   estimate identification information of the product, based on the image to be processed; and   decide identification information of the product, based on the determined appearance feature and the estimated identification information of the product.
