Abstract: A POS terminal device capable of extracting a commodity image from an image taken by image pickup means in order to contribute to an improvement in the recognition rate of commodities is provided. A POS terminal device (1) includes at least one image pickup unit (2) and a 3D image generation unit (4), and a commodity image extraction unit (6). The image pickup unit (2) generates a plurality of 2D images by shooting a commodity from a plurality of viewpoints, each of the plurality of 2D images corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of viewpoints. The 3D image generation unit (4) generates a 3D image including an image of the commodity by using the plurality of 2D images generated by the image pickup unit (2). The commodity image extraction unit (6) extracts the image of the commodity by using the 3D image.

Abstract: A POS terminal apparatus, a POS system, a commodity recognition method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program capable of efficiently performing the commodity recognition are provided. The POS terminal apparatus (1) includes a movement-trajectory detection unit (2), a settlement-customer identification unit (4), and a commodity recognition process unit (6). The movement-trajectory detection unit (2) detects movement trajectories of customers in a store by using images taken by at least one image-pickup apparatus. The settlement-customer identification unit (4) identifies a customer who is about to make a settlement for a commodity. The commodity recognition process unit (6) performs a process for recognizing the commodity for the settlement, in which commodities displayed at positions corresponding to the detected movement trajectory for the customer identified by the settlement-customer identification unit (4) are set as candidates.
