Abstract: The YOLO-Based Smart Billing Basket introduces an innovative approach to retail automation by integrating advanced technological components directly into the shopping experience. The system utilizes a YOLO-based Computer Vision Camera array to provide instantaneous object recognition as items are placed in the basket. All data is managed through an IoT-Integrated Controller Hub that facilitates seamless synchronization with store databases. Shoppers interact with a Secure Payment Gateway Interface (Digital Display) located on the handle, which enables efficient transaction finalization. Underlying the process, an Automated Checkout Module handles real-time billing calculations, while Anti-Theft Sensors provide essential security through weight and identification verification to prevent inventory shrinkage. By synthesizing these technologies, the platform effectively eliminates the need for manual scanning and traditional checkout lines, offering a frictionless and secure retail environment.
