Device for registering and managing book based on computer vision and radio frequency identification technique

A computer vision and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology based book enrolment management apparatus, comprising:

• an image acquisition working platform, an image acquisition device, an RFID tag reader/writer and antenna group, an electronic anti-theft magnetizing/demagnetizing device, a weight measurement device, and an embedded central processing unit, wherein
• the image acquisition working platform provides an operating platform which makes the images of the spine and fore edge of the book and the image group of the first cover of the book on the same optical acquisition plane and connected with one another, the images of the spine and fore edge are reflected to the image acquisition range of a camera group which perform real-time and synchronous shooting to acquire the images in the directions of the spine, fore edge and first cover of the book, wherein the image acquisition working platform comprises a chessboard for putting the book, the chessboard has a pattern for the reference of the camera group, a transparent baffle group, and a reflector mirror group, the transparent baffle group is vertically arranged at a corner of the image acquisition working platform to form a right angle to which the book is tightly close in order to ensure that the spine and fore edge can also be completely close to the transparent baffle, and the reflector mirror group is obliquely arranged at the other edge of the transparent baffle to form an angle with the image acquisition working platform in order to completely reflect the images of the whole spine and fore edge to the image acquisition range of the camera group installed above;
• the image acquisition device is comprised of the camera group and arranged above the image acquisition working platform to acquire the image of the book on the image acquisition working platform;
• the RFID tag reader/writer is connected with the antenna group and configured to read/write the RFID tag;
• the antenna group consists of multiple RF antenna elements in which adjustment circuits are arranged to adjust the sensitivity of the RF antenna elements, and is arranged below the image acquisition working platform;
• the electronic anti-theft magnetizing/demagnetizing apparatus is configured to activate or deactivate the magnetism of the anti-theft magnetic strip of the book;
• the weight measurement device is arranged below the chessboard of the image acquisition working platform to measure the weight of the book on the image acquisition working platform;
• and
• the embedded central processing unit is configured to control and operate all the embedded firmware modules, comprising an image acquisition module, a storage module, a computer vision image processing module, an image analysis module, an RFID tag reading/writing module, an RFID tag data storage module, a monitoring engine module, a management service module and a prompt running module.
