Item recognition has become a hotspot in the field of computer vision research. SIFT has the advantage of requiring a low amount of information, a fast running speed and high precision, but it requires large data calculations and thus takes a long time to perform the item recognition. In this paper we propose a method of item recognition based on SIFT and SURF that provides a new way to solve the problem of item recognition, and has both feasibility and availability. This technique currently ignores colour information when dealing with colour images, but the evaluation method is capable of taking colour quality characteristics into account so it should be possible to improve the algorithm in the future. Experimental results show that this system of item recognition based on the SURF algorithm gives better matching recognition, is faster and has greater robustness.
