SHELF MONITORING DEVICE, SHELF MONITORING METHOD, AND SHELF MONITORING PROGRAM

摘要

A shelf monitoring device (20) may be provided with a detection unit (211), a setting unit (212), a monitoring unit (213), and an output unit (214). The detection unit (211) detects shelf labels attached to display shelves corresponding to articles displayed on the display shelves, by image recognition of image data that includes the display shelves. On the basis of the position of the detected shelf label, the setting unit (212) sets a monitoring area in which articles should be displayed on the display shelves in image data. The monitoring unit (213) monitors the shelving condition of the articles on the display shelves on the basis of changes found in an image corresponding to the presence or absence of the article in the monitoring area. The output unit (214) outputs the monitoring results according to the monitoring unit (213).
