IMAGE RECOGNITION SYSTEM THAT PERFORMS CODE DETECTION AND IMAGE RECOGNITION CONCURRENTLY

摘要

An image recognition system includes an imaging device and a processor. The processor is configured to detect an image of an article within an image captured by the imaging device, in response to detection of the image of the article, start a code detection process and an image recognition process to select one or more candidates. When the code symbol is detected within a predetermined period of time after the code detection process is started, the processor decodes the code symbol and determines an article associated with the decoded code symbol as the article within the captured image. When the code symbol is not detected within the predetermined period of time, and said one or more candidates are selected within the predetermined period of time, processor determines one of said one or more candidates as the article within the captured image.
