Abstract

The automated Stereoscopic warehouses are widely used in the logistics industry, they are featured as achieving dense storage, making full use of space. However, the denser storage makes inventory counting harder. The inventory check procedure usually take days. To cope with the difficulty, a Visual auxiliary inventory counting system is proposed. It is fixed on a stacker, with RGBD camera for visual perception. Through data assembling and date comparing, the system finds the appearance changed (compared to the time that right after stocking) bins in the inventory counting procedure. The staff only have to take minutes to count a very small part of the bins manually instead of checking thousands of bins. Experiments show that our system operates precisely and significantly efficiency.
