Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, processing circuitry of an apparatus for managing articles acquires a check image by capturing labels including label information of a character string. The processing circuitry also acquires plan data including a plurality of plan areas indicating installation positions of the labels in the shelf and the label information of the labels assigned to each of the plan areas. The processing circuitry detects a character area of the character string displayed on each of the labels from the check image and recognizes characters in the character areas. The processing circuitry positions and superimposes the check image and the plan data and associates the character areas and the plan areas. The processing circuitry compares the label information of the associated plan areas and the recognition information of the character areas and assigns attributes to the character areas or the plan areas.
