Application of RFID and Computer Vision for the Inventory Management System

Abstract

The RFID technology can be used for item tracking and inventory control. However, the problem such as miss reading and ghost reading usually occur in RFID implementation and has impact on low accuracy of inventory management system. In this study, the computer vision is used to solve the problem of miss reading and ghost reading in RFID. The RFID and computer vision can act as ears and eyes respectively, thus by combining both technologies; it is expected to increase the accuracy of system. The result of experiment has showed that the combination of RFID and computer vision has increased the system accuracy, as the computer vision can help the RFID system to detect the miss reading and ghost reading.
