Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence technology will be the key to the establishment of the next generation smart library. In order to realize the location and recognition of books, this paper proposed an instance segmentation method for spine image of books on shelves based on improved Mask R-CNN. Considering the difficulties such as the dense arrangement of books, certain rotation and similar texture of book copies, it improved the anchor as a rotating rectangle box, and also developed a rotating region proposal network to replace the region proposal network. Then it used a rotation feature extraction method to reduce the pooling error, and effectively extracted the features of target with rotation, combined with a rotation alignment of the mask to improve the accuracy of the prediction mask. This study built a labelled dataset containing 1 849 spine images of on-shelf books. The test results of the proposed method are much better than those of other key instance segmentation algorithms. It is proves that the use of rotating features in the network is very effective for instance segmentation of dense targets with orientation.
