Improving Domain Generalization by Learning without Forgetting: Application in Retail Checkout
Thuy C. Nguyen, Nam LH. Phan, Son T. Nguyen
Designing an automatic checkout system for retail stores at the human level accuracy is challenging due to similar appearance products and their various poses. This paper addresses the problem by proposing a method with a two-stage pipeline. The first stage detects class-agnostic items, and the second one is dedicated to classify product categories. We also track the objects across video frames to avoid duplicated counting. One major challenge is the domain gap because the models are trained on synthetic data but tested on the real images. To reduce the error gap, we adopt domain generalization methods for the first-stage detector. In addition, model ensemble is used to enhance the robustness of the 2nd-stage classifier. The method is evaluated on the AI City challenge 2022 -- Track 4 and gets the F1 score 40% on the test A set. Code is released at the link https://github.com/cybercore-co-ltd/aicity22-track4.
