عنوان المشروع: securAI: A Multimodal Sensor-Fusion and Edge-AI Architecture for a Checkout-Free Smart Store Serving the Community
الوصف:
This project addresses a significant problem in physical retail: the friction, queues, and labor cost of conventional checkout, which excludes time-poor, elderly, and disabled shoppers and constrains store throughput. The proposed solution, securAI, is a checkout-free smart store in which a customer enters, selects products, and departs while a virtual basket is compiled in real time, and the linked bank card is charged automatically within seconds. The system is built on multimodal sensor fusion—ceiling cameras, weight-sensing shelves, and Wi-Fi/BLE sensing—orchestrated by a six-layer edge-artificial-intelligence (edge-AI) architecture that couples object detection, multi-object tracking, cross-camera person re-identification, and hand-pose estimation to attribute every selected item to the correct shopper under an “independent-evidence” principle. The primary objective is a deployable micro-store prototype that demonstrates the complete pipeline on a single smart shelf while targeting a billing error below 0.1%. Anticipated outcomes include real-time per-customer attribution at approximately 30 frames per second per camera with sub-100 ms event latency, an identity-stability score above 90%, measurable reductions in waiting time and energy consumption through zone-based activation, and an affordable, locally serviceable design suited to emerging retail markets.
