ABSTRACT:
An automated check-out system for retail stores, such as supermarkets, employing digitized video signals and other means to determine and differentiate individual products, and thereby register the data for billing and inventory purposes. The sensors control the flow and positioning of retail items into the housing wherein the light source is regulated and controlled. Within the housing, optical imaging of the retail item is made with the electronic signal being digitized. By use of computerized databases, the digitized signal is compared to the finite set of data for products of approximately the same size, shape, weight and other comparative variables. Further confirmation of product identity is achieved by use of bar code differentiation, multiple image comparisons and, if necessary, optical display to the store personnel operating the cash register station serving multiple check-out lanes within the store. The customer is guided through the transaction by use of a video display screen. Once the items are registered, the customer then may bag the items and proceed to the centralized cashier station to complete the transaction.
