Definitions

  • the invention is pertinent as to arts and devices for checking and determining authenticity, value and unfitness (decay) degree of banknotes, for their counting and sorting. It can be used in bank sorters to sort bills (bank notes), to determine their payability, to search for and to find unfit and counterfeit notes.
  • the note sorting and counting device is designed for automatic processing of notes of any issue, value and country.
  • the process on which the operation of the device is based consists in determining authenticity, value and decay level of a note using full images - obtained with scanning devices - of both note sides in the visible spectral range, in the infrared spectral range and an induced image obtained under illumination in the ultraviolet spectral range; said images are transmitted to and processed in a computing unit where obtained images are compared to reference images with the help of preinstalled pattern recognition software.
  • the device automatically sorts "fit" notes (fit for further circulation) and "unfit” notes (subject to be destroyed because of poor physical condition) into separate pockets.
  • the notes not matching a specified value or reference, having security feature faults, stuck together and unrecognizable notes are sorted into a separate pocket for further examination by an expert.
  • the sort parameters can be changed and corrected by the user according to his requirements through an interactive sort parameter regulation interface with the help of a display and a keyboard.
  • the device keeps a log of its operation and therefore can fulfill registration and control functions.
  • De La Rue 3700 of the firm De La Rue [1] uses - for determination of note value and authenticity - a process based on the checking of availability of marks at certain points of notes with the help of infrared and ultraviolet detectors.
  • pictures are printed on notes with so-called metameric inks; these pictures cannot be seen with a naked eye and only reveal themselves in the infrared spectrum.
  • Knowing a concrete infrared image it is possible to develop a detector that checks several certain points on the note surface for availability or absence of metameric ink.
  • This detector is a pair: infrared source and photodetector that receives induced radiation from paper. If there is no metameric ink the photodetector is exposed to reflected light, if such ink is available the light stream at the photodetector decreases.
  • a note is illuminated with ultraviolet radiation, induced visible radiation appears. Knowing a concrete ultraviolet image, it is possible to develop a detector that checks several certain points on the note surface for availability or absence of induced image. This detector is a pair: ultraviolet source and photodetector that receives induced radiation from paper. If there is induced image the photodetector is exposed to reflected light, if no such image is available the light stream at the photodetector decreases.
  • a shortcoming of this method is the checking of just several points on the surface of a note and not of the whole surface for availability or absence of image.
  • decay level is checked with a microphone detector by the noise level of a note being crumpled; thus such substantial unfitness features as dirty spots and inscriptions can remain unnoticed.
  • value of the note is checked with a special detector that represents an illuminator and a collection of light conductors gathering the reflected light at several note surface stripes, these light conductors are bundled together at the end and transmit the integral light intensity to the photodetector.
  • a note passes through under the detector, obtained at the photodetector are different integral light intensity curves depending on value. This method doesn't guarantee correct determination of note value.
  • the known machine has a single note feeding unit; a transportation system to advance notes to detectors of the passage control assembly and to count notes; an authenticity, value and unfitness determining assembly; available are a note stream splitting assembly for directing notes to one of the stacking units depending on a decision taken by the computing unit on the basis of data received from detectors; three stacking assemblies with vessels for stacking of the sorted and counted notes: one - for the fit ones, another - for the unfit ones, the third one - for the notes whose authenticity and value are doubtful.
  • the shortcoming of the known machine is the necessity to readjust and replace the detector set before going over to another kind of notes, for instance, of another country. To redesign, manufacture and adjust another system of detectors to a new kind of notes is time-consuming, requires substantial resources and efforts as well as big financial expenditures.
  • the task of this invention is development of a method to determine banknote authenticity, value and decay level, said method being based on the scanning of the note with scanning devices allowing to obtain full images of both note sides in the visible spectral range, in the infrared spectral range and an induced image (luminescent and/or fluorescent) appearing under illumination in the ultraviolet spectral range for high reliability with the subsequent image processing using a computing unit, and creation of a compact note sorting and counting device not requiring hardware changes when banknote is changed for another kind.
  • the note is scanned with scanning devices what results in obtaining full images of both note sides in the visible spectral range, in the infrared spectral range and an induced image appearing under ultraviolet illumination.
  • the images obtained are transferred to a computing unit in which they are compared to reference ones with the help of pattern recognition software and a decision is taken on authenticity, value and decay level of a note.
  • the trainable pattern recognition software installed at the computing unit allows to recognize note images presented to it and to answer the question to which extent the entered image matches the reference one.
  • the software can recognize complete matching of images, partial matching of images, complete mismatching of images, matching and mismatching of particular image fragments.
  • the software compares the obtained image in the visible spectral range with the reference one. If the images mismatch completely, the software decides that the note has a different value; if the images mismatch partially (spots, inscriptions, tears on the note, etc.) the software decides what is decay level of the note.
  • the software compares full infrared and induced image obtained under illumination in the ultraviolet spectral range with the reference image. If the images mismatch completely, it is decided that the authenticity of the note must be doubted. In case the images mismatch partially, the availability or absence of pictures is checked in special security zones on the note. If security zones mismatch it is decided that the authenticity of the note must be doubted.
  • the software allows to analyze a complex of note unfitness features: wear, spots, inscriptions, missing pieces at edges, folded and missing corners, holes, closed tears at edges.
  • the note image obtained in the visible spectral range, the note image obtained in the infrared spectral range, the induced image obtained under illumination in the ultraviolet spectral range are analyzed and decision rules on classification of notes into one of three classes (fit, unfit, suspect) are built on the basis of the threshold data determined by an expert.

  • statistical characteristics m 1 , m 2 , m 3 , m 4 , u 2 , u 3 , u 4 , ⁇ , g 1 , g 2 , I are calculated.
  • pattern correspondence depends on both general (integral) similarity of the whole note and availability/absence of picture in control zones.
  • a hole is a note image section whose intensity is close to the dynamic range of background brightness. Let us go through all image pixels of the note being processed and separate coherent regions whose intensity is close to the one of the background. If the area of at least one region exceeds the tolerable one, then there are holes in the note.
  • Step 2 Ultraviolet security check is similar to value determination, but for this procedure we use an induced image obtained after illumination of the note in the ultraviolet spectrum.
  • Step 3 Infrared security check is similar to value determination, only in the infrared spectrum.
