Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain the accuracy of discrimination even when status relating to the detection is deviated from reference conditions (regular conditions) by matching them based on the correcting value of a sought feature quantity. CONSTITUTION:Respective detected values Di are found by magnetic resistance elements Mj of a magneto-resistance element array 2, mean value Dm of the respective detected values Di is found by Dm=(SIGMADi)/N and here, N is the total number of the respective detected values Di, 10 in this case. A correcting coeffi cient (a) is found by a=Km/Dm and here, Km is the mean value of respective reference detected values Ki. Then, respective correcting values aDi are sought, an operation relating to pattern matching as a subroutine is executed based on the respective correcting values aDi, and the fluctuation of the respective detected values of a feature quantity is compensated (regulated). Thus, required discriminating accuracy can be maintained corresponding to the fluctuation of the detected value of the feature quantity.

In the conventional technology as explained above, for example, if the relative passage position in the width direction of the banknote with respect to the magnetoresistive element array changes, or if the banknote itself deteriorates during circulation, this causes fluctuations in the detected magnetic resistance value. occurs. In addition to the above, factors for variation in the detected magnetoresistance value include variations in the facing distance between the magnetoresistive element array and the banknote, and variations in the conversion characteristics of the magnetoresistive element array due to temperature. FIG. 3 shows the standard magnetic resistance values Ki (1 , 2, 3...10) and their average value Kra
FIG. The horizontal axis represents the distance X from the right edge of the banknote l, and the vertical axis represents the magnetic resistance. Figure 4 shows the magnetic resistance values Di (1, 2, 3...10) detected under actual conditions at 10 predetermined locations on the broken line of the actual banknote 1 in Figure 2. , its average value D1
1. FIG. The horizontal and vertical axes are the same as in FIG. Each of these magnetic resistance values Di is approximately 30% lower than each standard magnetic resistance value Ki in FIG. 3 due to deterioration in circulation of the banknote 1. Of course, depending on the conditions, each magnetic resistance value may be slightly higher than the standard magnetic resistance value. This variation in the detected magnetic resistance value causes errors in determination by the pattern matching method, and further reduces the accuracy of banknote identification. The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and to solve the problems caused by the fluctuations in the relative passing position of the banknote with respect to the feature value detector and the fluctuations in the detected value of the characteristic value due to the circulation deterioration of the banknote itself. The object of the present invention is to provide a banknote discrimination method that can maintain the required discrimination accuracy.

Calculating the correction value for the feature value is based on the fact that various conditions related to feature detection, such as the relative passage position of the banknote with respect to the feature value detector or the state of the banknote, deviate from the standard condition (regular condition). This means converting (normalizing) the resulting fluctuation in the detected value of the banknote feature to that under the standard conditions. Therefore, by performing matching based on the obtained correction value of the feature amount, variations in the value of the feature amount are compensated for (normalized).

Embodiment 1 An application example of the banknote discrimination method according to the present invention will be described with reference mainly to the flowchart showing the operation of FIG. 1 and with supplementary reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. In FIG. 1, each detected value D obtained in step 31
Enter i. That is, each detected value Di is determined by the magnetoresistive element Mj of the magnetoresistive element array 2 in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 4. Returning to FIG. 1 again, in step S2, the average value Di of each detected value Di is calculated as follows (see FIG. 4). Dm=(ΣDi)/N Here, N is the total number of each detection value Di, which is 10 in this case. In step S3, the correction coefficient a is determined as follows. a=Km/Dn+, where Km is the average value of each reference detection value Ki (see FIG. 3). In the next step S4, each correction value aDi is determined. As described above, obtaining each correction value aDi means converting (normalizing) to that under standard conditions (normal conditions). Therefore, based on each of the correction values aDi, in step S5, calculations related to pattern matching as a subroutine are performed to compensate for (normalize) variations in each detected value Di of the feature quantity. Next, in step S6, the result is determined and the process ends. By the way, in step S4, to obtain the correction value, each detected value is directly multiplied by the correction coefficient a. but,
Multiplying each detected value by a value that is slightly suppressed depending on the magnitude of the correction coefficient a as a correction correction coefficient may be useful for improving the discrimination accuracy. In other words, the method of correction is revised and improved while taking into account the identification results. Further, in this application example, the average value is selected as the representative value, but the representative value is not limited to this, and the representative value may be a root mean square value, an added value, a median value, or the like. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the present invention, by performing matching based on the correction value of the obtained feature amount,
Fluctuations in detected values of feature quantities are compensated for, or in other words, normalized. Therefore, according to this invention, compared to the prior art, ■
Even if the detection situation deviates from the standard conditions (regular conditions),
The accuracy of identification can be maintained; - The method of correction can be realistically improved based on the identification results, so the identification accuracy can be improved; ■ The identification process can be made faster and costs can be reduced because it is based on relatively simple calculations. It has the excellent effect of being able to aim for □.
