Hey, I am planning to develop an application.
The application would visually monitor a shelf for availability of products. Snaps of the shelf would be taken using a camera device and then compared with the planogram image to check whether the shelf is empty or if a product is misplaced. If so an alert should be sent to the store manager via email, SMS etc.
Is this possible using opencv? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated as its urgent
Thanks
I wont bet my money on this but I am pretty sure this already exist commercially!
@ all those downvoters, seriously, why the hell would you downvote this and not explain yourself ... there is actually nothing wrong with this question ...
all == 2 ?
sorry, but i can't see any serious research effort here. it's one of those "i want, and then only hot air" questions.
@Rahulm, as i see it, you got 2 options:
take your time, learn some basic bits about computer-vision and coding. without that, you won't even be able to distinguish good advice from bad. also, without some basic knowledge, you won't be able to implement any good idea on your own.
if you're in a hurry, outsource it. pay someone else to do it.
@Ekalic, it is not nice if a new member with a question gets confronted with two downvotes without a single explanation ... we try to avoid that as much as possible to that people have the impression we actually put effort in their questions. As to @Rahulm like @berak said, it would be better to do some deeper research. I know of compagnies for whom we have exactly developed an application like this using OpenCV, so it exists and it works.
