Abstract

At the current stage, the retail industry is undergoing unprecedented changes. From traditional physical stores to online shopping platforms, and then to the new retail model that integrates online and offline, customers’ demand for shopping experience is constantly changing. To meet these demands, retailers need to constantly explore and apply new technologies to optimize the retail environment and enhance customer experience. Biomechanics is the study of the internal and external mechanical behavior of living organisms, which is concerned with the structure, function and motion laws of living organisms. Applying the knowledge of biomechanics to retail environment design can effectively improve customers’ shopping experience. Based on this, this paper takes intelligent container as an example, gives a visual solution of detecting goods in intelligent container based on deep neural network, and proposes a twin-based pairwise image difference detection algorithm named DiffNet as the core algorithm of intelligent container solution, which aims to help enterprises deploy intelligent container flexibly, safely and at low cost. Enhance the customer’s offline self-service shopping experience.
