One of the major problems faced by consumers while shopping at a supermarket is the inability to locate items and also to carry goods to the billing counter. In this paper, we describe a novel cost-effective method to overcome these issues by creating a smart trolley using a web camera along with video processing to complete the tasks. In comparison with previous methods which utilize RFID transceivers, our solution costs 10 times lesser than its predecessors and is environment friendly as well.
