Vision-Based Automated Billing System Using YOLO11: Integrating Object Detection and Product Bundling for Retail Optimization
摘要
Demand for efficient and accurate billing systems continues to grow as retail environments become increasingly dynamic. This paper presents an advanced vision-based billing system leveraging You Only Look Once (YOLO11), a state-of-the-art object detection mode, in order to enhance the checkout process by enabling precise product detection, counting, bundling and invoice generation. With a robust dataset from Roboflow and a carefully optimized training pipeline, the model achieves superior accuracy (mAP@[0.5:0.95] of 94.84%) and computational efficiency over YOLOv9-t(mAP@[0.5:0.95] of 93.04%) and YOLOv10-n (mAP@[0.5:0.95] of 92.36%), making it well-suited for cluttered retail scenarios. A co-occurrence-based bundling module is introduced, which identifies meaningful product associations from transactional data, facilitating personalized marketing strategies and cross-selling opportunities. Moreover, the model is integrated with a web application to demonstrate its practical usage. This integration of high-speed object detection with actionable customer insights offers a lightweight yet powerful solution for retail automation.
