Characteristic point is calculated the linking portion that portion 31 extracts character string or grid, calculates the center of gravity of linking portion, as characteristic point.But the structure that characteristic point is calculated portion 31 is not limited thereto, and known the whole bag of tricks calculates the characteristic point of image before for example also can utilizing.
Fig. 4 is the block diagram that the representation feature point is calculated the schematic configuration of portion 31.As shown in the drawing, characteristic point is calculated portion 31 and is possessed signal transformation handling part 41, resolution conversion portion 42, MTF handling part 43, binary conversion treatment portion 44, center of gravity and calculate portion 45.
Signal transformation handling part 41 is under the situation of coloured image in the view data (rgb signal) from 12 inputs of shading correction portion, makes this view data not have coloured silkization, is transformed to lightness signal or luminance signal.
For example, signal transformation handling part 41 utilizes following formula (1) that rgb signal is transformed to brightness signal Y.
Yi＝0.30Ri+0.59Gi+0.11Bi ...(1)
Here, Y is the luminance signal of each pixel, and R, G, B are each colouring components in the rgb signal of each pixel, and suffix i is the value (i is the integer more than 1) of giving each pixel.
Perhaps, also rgb signal can be transformed to CIE1976L *a *b *Signal (CIE:Commission International de l ' Eclairage, L *: lightness, a *, b *: colourity).
42 pairs of input image datas of resolution conversion portion carry out convergent-divergent to be handled.For example, resolution conversion portion 42 is having been undertaken once more input image data being carried out convergent-divergent under the situation of optical zoom by 2 pairs of input image datas of coloured image input unit, so that become the resolution of regulation.In addition, resolution conversion portion 42 is in order to alleviate the treating capacity in each handling part of level of back, also can be used to make resolution to be lower than by coloured image input unit 2 to wait resolution conversion (for example, will be transformed to 300dpi etc.) of the resolution of doubly reading in the view data that 600dpi (dot per inch) reads in.
The difference that the spatial frequency characteristic that MTF (modulation transfer function) handling part 43 is used for absorbing (adjustment) coloured image input unit 2 produces because of the difference of type.In the picture signal of CCD output, the aperture opening ratio of the opening of the sensitive surface of opticses such as lens and speculum, CCD, efficiency of transmission and image retention, the integrating effect that is caused by physical scan and scan unequally will cause that MTF worsens.Because this MTF worsens, the image that is read in thickens.MTF handling part 43 is by implementing suitable Filtering Processing (emphasizing to handle), repairs the fuzzy processing that the deterioration because of MTF produces.In addition, the center of gravity that also is used for suppressing the back level feature point extraction of calculating portion 45 is handled useless high fdrequency component.That is, use compound filter (not shown), carry out and emphasize to handle with smoothing.Fig. 5 represents an example of the filter factor of this compound filter.
Binary conversion treatment portion 44 comes view data is carried out binaryzation by relatively there not being view data (brightness value (luminance signal) or brightness value (lightness signal)) and the prior preset threshold after coloured silkization.
Center of gravity is calculated portion 45 according to the view data of having been carried out binaryzation by binary conversion treatment portion 44 (for example using ' 1 ', ' 0 ' expression), to each pixel make marks (processing of labelling).Afterwards, determine the connecting area of the pixel binding of additional same tag, the center of gravity of extracting determined connecting area is as characteristic point.Again the characteristic point of being extracted is outputed to characteristic quantity and calculate portion 32.Fig. 6 is the key diagram of an example of the center of gravity of the connecting area that extracts from input image data of expression and this connecting area, expression and " A " so corresponding connecting area and center of gravity of character string.In addition, Fig. 7 is the key diagram of an example of each center of gravity (characteristic point) of a plurality of connecting areas of extracting from the character string that input image data comprised of expression.Above-mentioned characteristic point can be represented by the coordinate figure in the bianry image (x coordinate, y coordinate).
Characteristic quantity is calculated portion 32 and is possessed that the 32a of feature point extraction portion, invariant calculate the 32b of portion, hashed value is calculated the 32c of portion, use is calculated the characteristic point that portion 31 calculates by characteristic point, calculate the characteristic quantity (hashed value and/or invariant) of original image, this characteristic quantity is rotation, parallelly move, amplify, dwindle, the amount that the geometry distortion does not change such as move with respect to parallel.
The 32a of feature point extraction portion as shown in Figure 8, with a characteristic point as paying close attention to characteristic point, by apart from the distance of paying close attention to characteristic point near and order far away, extract the characteristic point of the specified quantity (being 4 points) of this concern characteristic point periphery here, be used as peripheral characteristic point.In the example of Fig. 8, under with the situation of characteristic point a as the concern characteristic point, extract minutiae b, c, these 4 peripheral characteristic points of conduct of d, e, under with the situation of characteristic point b as the concern characteristic point, extract minutiae a, c, these 4 peripheral characteristic points of conduct of e, f.
In addition, the 32a of feature point extraction portion extracts 3 combination can selecting from above-mentioned such 4 peripheral characteristic points extracting.For example shown in Fig. 9 (a)-Fig. 9 (c), with characteristic point a shown in Figure 8 as the situation of paying close attention to characteristic point under, extract 3 combination among peripheral characteristic point b, c, d, the e, be peripheral characteristic point b, c, d, peripheral characteristic point b, c, e, peripheral characteristic point b, d, each combination of e.
Then, invariant is calculated the 32b of portion each combination to being extracted, and calculates invariant (one of characteristic quantity) Hij of geometry distortion.Here, i is a number (i is the integer more than 1) of paying close attention to characteristic point, and j is the number (j is the integer more than 1) of the combination of 3 peripheral characteristic points of expression.In the present embodiment, two in the line segment length that is linked between the peripheral characteristic point liken to is invariant Hij.Above-mentioned line segment length can be calculated according to each peripheral characteristic point coordinates value.For example, in the example of Fig. 9 (a), be that A11, the line segment length that links characteristic point c and characteristic point b are B11 if establish the line segment length that links characteristic point c and characteristic point d, then invariant H11 is H11=A11/B11.In addition, in the example of Fig. 9 (b), be that A12, the line segment length that links characteristic point b and characteristic point e are B12 if establish the line segment length that links characteristic point c and characteristic point b, then invariant H12 is H12=A12/B12.In addition, in the example of Fig. 9 (c), be that A13, the line segment length that links characteristic point b and characteristic point e are B13 if establish the line segment length that links characteristic point d and characteristic point b, then invariant H13 is H13=A13/B13.Like this, in the example of Fig. 9 (a)-Fig. 9 (c), can calculate invariant H11, H12, H13.
Then, hashed value is calculated the 32c of portion and is calculated (Hi1 * 10 2+ Hi2 * 10 1+ Hi3 * 10 0The remainder values of)/D as hashed value (one of characteristic quantity) Hi, and is stored in the memory 8.Above-mentioned D is set in the constant of setting in advance in the scope of which kind of degree according to the scope that will get the value that remainder obtains.
The calculation method of invariant Hij does not limit especially, for example also can with following value etc. as with pay close attention to the relevant above-mentioned invariant Hij of characteristic point, this value is to calculate according near 5 compound ratio of paying close attention to characteristic point, 5 the compound ratio of extracting near n point (n is the integer of n 〉=5), the configuration of the m point (m is the integer of m＜n and m 〉=5) of extraction reaches extraction from the m point near n point 5 compound ratio.So-called compound ratio is according to 5 values of obtaining on 4 on the straight line or the plane, is the invariant as the distortion of projection of one of geometry conversion as everyone knows.
In addition, calculate hashed value Hi calculation method and also be not limited to said method, promptly, (Hi1 * 10 2+ Hi2 * 10 1+ Hi3 * 10 0The remainder values of)/D also can use other hash function as the method for hashed value.
Characteristic quantity is calculated the each several part of portion 32, when calculating of the extraction of the peripheral characteristic point of paying close attention to characteristic point at one and hashed value Hi finished, to pay close attention to characteristic point and change to the further feature point, and carry out the extraction of peripheral characteristic point and calculating of hashed value, calculate the hashed value of whole characteristic points.
In the example of Fig. 8, with peripheral characteristic point and the extraction of hashed value when finishing of characteristic point a when paying close attention to characteristic point, then carry out with characteristic point b when paying close attention to characteristic point peripheral characteristic point and the extraction of hashed value.In the example of Fig. 8, under with the situation of characteristic point b as the concern characteristic point, extract minutiae a, c, these 4 peripheral characteristic points of conduct of e, f.Afterwards, shown in Figure 10 (a)-Figure 10 (c), extract 3 the combination of from these peripheral characteristic point a, c, e, f, selecting (peripheral characteristic point a, e, f, peripheral characteristic point c, e, f, peripheral characteristic point a, c, f), to each combination, calculate hashed value Hi, and be stored in the memory 8.Afterwards, each characteristic point is carried out this processing repeatedly, obtain respectively the hashed value of each characteristic point when paying close attention to characteristic point, and be stored in the memory 8.
In addition, the calculation method with the invariant of characteristic point a when paying close attention to characteristic point is not limited to said method.For example, shown in Figure 24 (a)-Figure 24 (d), under with the situation of characteristic point a shown in Figure 8 as the concern characteristic point, extract 3 combination among peripheral characteristic point b, c, d, the e, be each combination of peripheral characteristic point b, c, d, peripheral characteristic point b, c, e, peripheral characteristic point b, d, e, peripheral characteristic point c, d, e, each combination of being extracted is calculated invariant (one of characteristic quantity) Hij of geometry distortion.
In addition, with characteristic point b shown in Figure 8 when paying close attention to characteristic point, also can be shown in Figure 25 (a)-Figure 25 (d), from characteristic point a, c, this peripheral characteristic point of 4 of e, f, extract certain combination of 3 (peripheral characteristic point a, e, f, peripheral characteristic point a, c, e, peripheral characteristic point a, f, c, peripheral characteristic point e, f, c), each combination is calculated the invariant Hij of geometry distortion.At this moment, as long as calculate (Hi1 * 10 3+ Hi2 * 10 2+ Hi3 * 10 1+ Hi4 * 10 0The remainder values of)/D as hashed value, and is stored in it in memory 8 and gets final product.
In above-mentioned example, the line segment that links apart from paying close attention to nearest peripheral characteristic point of characteristic point and the 2nd near peripheral characteristic point is made as Aij, the line segment that links apart from paying close attention to nearest peripheral characteristic point of characteristic point and the 3rd near peripheral characteristic point is made as Bij, but be not limited thereto, can be that benchmark is selected etc. with the line segment length that is attached between the peripheral characteristic point also for example, the line segment that is used to calculate invariant Hij can be selected with any means.
Characteristic quantity is calculated portion 32 and input image data is being registered as under the situation of public processing image, and the hashed value (characteristic quantity) of each characteristic point of the above-mentioned input image data that calculates is like that sent to registration process portion 35.
Characteristic quantity is calculated the hashed value of each characteristic point that portion 32 calculates in registration process portion 35 and the index (original copy ID) of expression original copy (registration image) is registered in (with reference to Figure 11 (a)) in the hash table set in the memory 8 101 successively.Under the situation of hashed value, register original copy ID registered corresponding to this hashed value.Original copy ID is not repeatedly by Allotment Serial Number successively.Be registered under the situation that the original copy quantity in the hash table 101 Duos than setting (for example registrable original copy quantity 80%), also can retrieve old original copy ID, and deletion successively.In addition, also can be with the original copy ID that deleted once more as the original copy ID of new registration image.In addition,, also they can be aggregated into a hashed value and be registered in the hash table 101 for (H1=H5 in the example of Figure 11 (b)) under the situation of value in the hashed value that calculates.
In addition, registration process portion 35 makes as the index of the registration image of public processing image registration and public processing rule to this registration image and is stored in accordingly in the public processing list 102.Public processing rule for example by control part 7 according to 5 that obtain by guidance panel 6 or communicator, set from user's indication input.
In addition, characteristic quantity is calculated portion 32 and input image data is being registered as under the situation of individual processing image, through card reader 91 hashed value (characteristic quantity) of each characteristic point of the above-mentioned input image data that calculates is like that sent to card 93.
The registration process portion 94 of card 93 makes through hashed value that card reader 91 receives and the index of representing the registration image and registers to successively in the hash table set in the memory 95 96 accordingly.Register method is the same with the register method of hash table 101.In addition, registration process portion 94 index that makes the registration image with the individual processing rule of this registration image is stored in the individual processing table 97 accordingly.The individual processing rule for example by control part 7 according to 5 that obtain by guidance panel 6 or communicator, set from user's indication input.
In addition, characteristic quantity is calculated portion 32 and is being carried out under the situation of control treatment (similarity determination processing) whether input image data is the view data of registered registration image, and the hashed value of each characteristic point of the above-mentioned input image data that calculates is like that sent to ballot handling part 33.
In the present embodiment, before the processing of voting, read the content in the hash table 96 that is registered in card 93, be stored in the hash table 101 of memory 8, and, read the content in the individual processing table 97 that is registered in card 93, be stored in the individual processing table 103 of memory 8.In addition, for example also can be arranged in the memory 8 being used for storing separating with hash table 101 from the hash table that blocks the content that 93 hash table 96 reads.In addition, when when card reader 91 is taken off card 93, or during to having finished dealing with of input image data etc., also can delete from blocking 93 information of reading and being stored in the memory 8.
The hashed value of each characteristic point that ballot handling part 33 will calculate according to input image data compares with the hashed value (hashed value of the hashed value of public processing image and individual processing image) that is registered in the hash table 101, and ballot is to the registration image with same Hash value.In other words, at each registration image, the number of times that calculates the hashed value identical with registering hashed value that image has according to input image data is counted, and count value is stored in the memory 8.Figure 12 is the curve of expression to an example of the votes of registration image I D1, ID2, ID3.
Similar degree determination processing portion 34 reads the ballot result of ballot handling part 33 and (respectively registers the index of image and each is registered the votes of image from memory 8; And extract maximum number of votes obtained and obtain the index of the registration image of maximum number of votes obtained similar degree).Afterwards, relatively maximum number of votes obtained and the pre-determined threshold value of being extracted judged similarity (whether input image data is the view data of registration image), and will be represented that the decision signal of result of determination sends to control part 7.Promptly, at maximum number of votes obtained under the situation more than the pre-determined threshold value, be judged to be " similarity (input image data is the view data of registration image) is arranged ", under situation, be judged to be " no similarity (input image data is not the view data of registration image) " less than threshold value.
Perhaps, similar degree determination processing portion 34 also can be by carrying out normalization with the number of votes obtained of each registration image divided by ballot sum (sum of the characteristic point that extracts from input image data), calculate similar degree, judge similar degree by relatively this similar degree and pre-determined threshold value (for example 80% of the ballot sum).
In addition, similar degree determination processing portion 34 also can carry out normalization divided by the hashed value registrating number (maximum registrating number) of the maximum registration image of the registrating number of hashed value by the number of votes obtained with each registration image, calculate similar degree, judge similar degree by relatively this similar degree and pre-determined threshold value (for example 80% of the ballot sum).That is, need only at the similar degree that calculates under the situation more than the threshold value TH2, be judged to be " similarity is arranged ", under situation, be judged to be " no similarity " and get final product less than threshold value TH2.At this moment, because the sum of the hashed value of extracting from input image data is sometimes than above-mentioned maximum registrating number big (especially exist at least a portion of original copy and/or registration image the situation of hand-written part inferior), so the value of calculating of similar degree may surpass 100% sometimes.
In addition, for each registration image, the threshold value TH2 when judging similarity was both constant, also can use different threshold values with the individual processing image to public processing image.In addition, also can register the importance etc. of image, set by each registration image corresponding to each.The importance of registration image for example can come segmentation to set according to the registration image, for file secret bank note, marketable securities, topsecret papers, company outside etc., makes the importance maximum, for secret papers, makes importance lower than bank note etc.At this moment, in memory 8, make to set up relatedly with the index of the corresponding weight coefficient of the importance of registering image and this registration image and store, similarity is judged as long as use with the registration image corresponding threshold TH2 that obtains maximum number of votes obtained by similar degree determination processing portion 34.
When judging similarity, also can be, make threshold value TH2 constant, and will multiply by the weight coefficient of respectively registering image each votes (respectively registering the number of votes obtained of image) of registering image, judge similarity.At this moment, as long as in memory 8, the index that makes the importance of respectively registering image or the weight coefficient corresponding with being conditions such as public processing image or individual processing image and respectively register image is set up and is stored relatedly, similar degree determination processing portion 34 calculates the correction number of votes obtained after number of votes obtained with each registration image multiply by the weight coefficient of this registration image, judges that according to this correction number of votes obtained similarity gets final product.For example, both can compare maximum modified number of votes obtained and threshold value TH2, also can be relatively make value and threshold value TH2 after the normalization of maximum modified number of votes obtained, also can be relatively make value and threshold value TH2 after the normalization of maximum modified number of votes obtained with maximum registrating number with the ballot sum.In addition, at this moment, be to become big value than 1 big value and along with the uprising of importance of registration image as long as weight coefficient is for example set for.
In addition, in the present embodiment, a characteristic point (concern characteristic point) is calculated a hashed value, but be not limited thereto, also can calculate a plurality of hashed values a characteristic point (concern characteristic point).For example, also can make with the following method, promptly, extract 6 points,, from 5 points, extract 3 points, obtain invariant, calculate hashed value for each combination of from these 6 points, extracting 6 kinds of combinations of 5 points as the peripheral characteristic point of paying close attention to characteristic point.At this moment, a characteristic point is calculated 6 hashed values.
