Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform accurate and practical paper money discrimination by finding the kind into which a paper money to be discriminated is classified and the degree of certainty of the discriminated result of the paper money based on values of feature quantities and each functional relation actually obtained from the paper money to be discriminated. CONSTITUTION:A function generating section 2 has a function which generates a membership function in connection with the feature quantity of a reference paper money of each kind. The membership function means the degree of certainty of the discriminated kind of a paper money when the feature quantity becomes a certain value. A measuring and calculating section 1 collects data of quantities of transmitted light measured by photosensors at each point on the surface of a paper money to be discriminated and finds the dimensional value Lk in the length direction and standard deviation value Sk of frequency distribution. A discriminating section 3 finds the kind of the paper money and degree of certainty of the discriminated result from the dimensional value Lk or deviation value Sk and membership function value regarding the dimension in the length direction or standard deviation outputted from the section 2.

A banknote validating device to which the banknote validating method according to the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram commonly showing the configuration of this banknote discrimination device. In the figure, 1 is a measurement/calculation unit, and a translucent type optical sensor array (not shown) is used to detect various points on the banknote to be discriminated. The amount of transmitted light is measured, and based on this amount of transmitted light, the longitudinal dimension, which is a characteristic amount of the banknote, or the standard deviation, which indicates the tendency of variation in the frequency distribution of the amount of transmitted light at each location, is calculated and determined. Reference numeral 2 denotes a function generating unit, which has a function of generating membership functions related to the feature quantities of standard banknotes by denomination. Here, the membership function is the degree to which it can be said to belong to a certain denomination when the value of hit+hit is a certain value. Therefore, the function generation unit 2 defines the member function regarding the special @ quantity, that is, the degree, in correspondence with the feature quantity. Naturally, this degree is indicated by a value in the range of 0 to 1, and when it is 0, it cannot be said that it belongs at all,
If it is 1, it can definitely be said that it belongs. In reality, the function generation unit 2 provides the correspondence between each value of the feature amount of the denomination-specific standard banknote and the corresponding membership function value. Reference numeral 3 denotes a determination section, which outputs the output of the measurement/calculation section 1 and the function generation section 2.
From the output of , it is determined to which denomination of banknote the banknote to be verified belongs and to what degree it can be said that it belongs. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the transported banknotes and the optical sensor array, and in the figure, optical sensors PI, P2. P3. ...Pn is such that the row is perpendicular to the conveyance direction parallel to the short side of the banknote Bi,
And they are arranged so as to have a slightly wider range than the longitudinal dimension of the banknote BiO. Note that the banknote Bi is i=1.2.3
, representing 1,000 yen banknotes, 5,000 yen banknotes, and -10,000 yen banknotes, respectively. In FIG. 2, the amount of light transmitted at each location on the surface of the banknote Bi varies depending on the land transport position of the banknote Bi. P3.
..., measured by Pn. The longitudinal dimension, which is one of the characteristic quantities of a banknote, is determined by a portion corresponding to an amount of transmitted light greater than a predetermined value, in other words, a portion that is not blocked by the banknote. Further, the standard deviation of the frequency distribution of the amount of transmitted light, which is another feature amount, will be described next. FIG. 3 is a frequency distribution diagram (histogram) of the amount of light transmitted at each location on the entire surface of the banknote to be verified, in which the amount of light transmitted H is plotted on the horizontal axis and the frequency N is plotted on the vertical axis. - In general, the trends in the frequency distribution are related to its central position and variations (fluctuations).
It will be related to. The former is expressed by the average value, median value, maximum value, etc., and the latter is expressed by each value such as standard deviation, 5 variance, and range. In FIG. 3, Mi is the average value of the frequency distribution, and Si is the standard deviation thereof. In this example, standard deviation is chosen as another feature. FIG. 4 shows a membership function relating to the longitudinal dimension, which is one characteristic quantity, and FIG. 5 shows a membership function relating to the standard deviation of the frequency distribution of the amount of transmitted light, which is another characteristic quantity. In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents the possible longitudinal dimension values of the reference banknote, that is, the "fuzzy set" of L values, and the vertical axis represents the membership function value MF. At this time, each standard banknote BL
B2. The membership function for B3 is triangular Yamagata U
l, 02. It is represented by U3. Taking the triangular chevron U1 as an example, Llm corresponds to its apex and represents the reference value of the longitudinal dimension of the base B1. If the longitudinal dimensions of the left end and right end of the base are LIL L12, it means that the longitudinal dimension of the standard banknote B1 can take a value in the range of Lll to L12, and when Llm, it belongs to the banknote B1. The degree to which it can be said takes a maximum value of 1, and in the case of Lll or L12, the degree also takes a minimum value of 0. The same can be said of the other triangular chevrons U2 and 03. In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents the standard deviation value S that the standard banknote can take, that is, the "fuzzy set" of S values, and the vertical axis represents the membership function value MF. Each standard banknote BLB2. The membership functions for B3 are triangular chevron Vl, V2. V
It is represented by 3. Now, taking the triangular chevron ■1 as an example, S corresponding to its apex is S1n+, which represents the reference value of the standard deviation of the reference banknote Bl. If the standard deviation values S at the left end and right end of the base are Sll and S12, it means that the standard deviation value of the standard banknote B1 can take a value in the range of SL1 to 312, and when S1m, it belongs to the banknote B1. The degree to which it can be said takes the maximum value 1, Sll or S1
2, the degree also takes the minimum value 0. Other triangular mountain shapes V2. The same can be said about V3. Returning to FIG. 1 again, the operation of this bill separating device will be described. The measurement/calculation unit 1 collects the amount of light transmitted at each location of the banknote to be discriminated, which is measured by each optical sensor, and based on this, the longitudinal dimension value Lk or the standard deviation value Sk of the frequency distribution is calculated. Desired. In the determination section 3, the aforementioned Lk which is the output of the measurement/calculation section l
Or Sk and the membership function value related to the longitudinal dimension or the membership function value related to the standard deviation, as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, which is the output of the function generator 2. Find out to what denomination and to what degree a banknote belongs. In FIG. 4, from each membership function value corresponding to Lk, the banknote to be discriminated is the banknote B1 at a degree X1, and the banknote B1 is
2, it is determined that each of them belongs to the degree X2. Here, X2>XI. Similarly, in FIG. 5, from each membership function value corresponding to S, it is determined that the banknote to be discriminated belongs to banknote B1 to a degree Y1 and to banknote B2 to a degree Y2. Here, Y2 > Yl. In the above-mentioned banknote sorting apparatus, the feature amounts are the longitudinal dimension of the banknote and the standard deviation value of the frequency distribution of the amount of light transmitted at each location of the banknote. However, other features may be the average value, maximum value, or variance value of the frequency distribution of the amount of transmitted light.
Also, the standard deviation value 1 variance value of the frequency distribution related to the magnetic strength of each part of the banknote. It may be an average value or a maximum value. Further, by determining the degree to which each feature belongs to each denomination by combining a plurality of features instead of using each feature individually, the discrimination accuracy can naturally be improved.
