Abstract

PURPOSE:To count the number of sheets regardless of the quality and the form of matter to be counted by performing pattern matching processing based on a reference waveform equivalent to one sheet of the printed matter and calculating the number of segments of the pattern to display the result of this calculation. CONSTITUTION:Image signals equivalent to one viewfield of a line sensor camera 2 and stored in an image memory 14 are taken in by a CPU 21 and subjected to pattern matching in a reference waveform equivalent to one sheet of printed matter stored previously in a RAM 20. Then it is decided whether those image signals are matched with the reference waveform or not. Then the number of matched waveforms is counted. While the number of image elements are totalized for unmatched waveforms and then divided by the number of image elements of the reference waveform. The result of this division is added to the number of matched waveforms so that the number of waveforms are totalized within a single viewfield. Thus the number of printed matters is calculated within one viewfield and displayed on a count display part 15.
