Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of smart retailing, and more particularly, relates to a smart vending machine (10). Provided is a smart vending machine (10), comprising: a machine body (101); one or more partition boards (102); cameras (103); and a main control module (104). The cameras (103) are in a communication connection with the main control module (104). The one or more partition boards (102) are installed inside the machine body (101), and are used to divide the machine body (101) into M layers of spaces. The partition board (102) reaches peak height in the middle and the height thereof gradually decreases toward two ends of the partition board (102). The partition board (102) bridges two opposing side surfaces of the machine body (101). M is an integer greater than 1. The camera (103) is provided at a top portion of each layer of space. The camera (3) performs, under control of the main control module (104), a photographing operation on objects placed in the layer of space where the camera (103) is located. The main control module (104) acquires an image captured by the camera (3), and transmits the image to an image processing device to undergo processing. The smart vending machine (10) can enhance quality of images of merchandise therein, thereby increasing accuracy of merchandise recognition while reducing use cost of the smart vending machine.
