The autoscan formula machine (CN2149656) of going over examination papers adopts facsimile recorder to convert the picture information of test paper to pulse signal, handles by the single card microcomputer pulse signals.The machine of going over examination papers contrast examinee institute metal marker mark position and model answer compare to be differentiated and statistics.This machine of going over examination papers adopts facsimile recorder, and input speed is too slow, does not meet the rate request of voting apparatus to graphics process.The very flexible of facsimile recorder, improved facsimile recorder poor reliability, and also the single card microcomputer image is stored and processing power is limited, is not suitable for election.
The objective of the invention is to develop a kind of reliability height, speed is fast, adaptability is strong, computer-controlled automatic voting apparatus.Further purpose is ONLINE RECOGNITION, image processing and the database technology of utilization computing machine carried out the automatic identification of symbol and word processing and real-time statistics to ballot paper a designing technique.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this: at first design generates and the incorporate ballot paper of voting apparatus; Such ballot paper is inserted voting apparatus, special reflected light fulgurite and transmitted light fulgurite carry out self-verifying, identification to ballot paper, underproof ballot paper or undesirable voting method, computer control guiding opinion does not start and refuses to accept, carry out state demonstration and Chinese speech prompting simultaneously, guiding is ballot again; Qualified ballot paper starts kinematic train by computer-controlled guide wheel and delivers to the high-speed computer scanner, and the view picture ballot paper image that comprises hand-written candidate people is scanned and import computing machine; After the locating information of voting apparatus identification ballot paper, carry out Symbol recognition, image Segmentation, dialogue identification processing and real-time statistics; Accomplish to finish ballot at the election scene, a job such as make out an invoice, and on screen, show election results.
Advantage of the present invention is:
1. owing to adopted computing machine to scan fast, practicality of the present invention, accuracy and reliability are guaranteed, have satisfied the seriousness requirement of ballot paper work.The fastest every about 6 seconds the input speed of plain scan instrument or facsimile recorder, cause voter's waits for too long and can not be used for the election.Every A4 paper of the visual input speed of quick scanning of the present invention is 2-4 second, meet the election requirement, the difficulty of threshold value adjustment when having overcome photoelectric tube input ballot paper symbol simultaneously, the shortcoming of interference free performance, resolution and poor linearity when also not having TV pickup input ballot paper image.
2. the invention provides with the incorporate ballot paper of voting apparatus and generate software, the ballot paper that this software generates, the election scale and the mode that can adapt to various requirement, not only make the preliminary work standardization of election, and the reliability of automatic identification and image processing is improved greatly, the voting apparatus function also can significantly strengthen.
3. adopt multiple detection means, check ballot paper, especially special transmission and reflection photocell detection, to defective ballot paper or many overlapping ballot papers, computer control kinematic train refusal is accepted, and the state that gives shows and voice suggestion, and owing to import the view picture image of ballot paper with scanning, thereby very easily from image, further judge whether ballot paper is qualified, and therefrom isolate ballot paper type code information, accurately locating information.Each election drops into the ballot paper that voting apparatus can reach type more than 5 kinds, and voting apparatus of the present invention can be classified automatically, be handled respectively.
4. voting apparatus of the present invention both can single-set operation, also adaptation networking compartment system.For small-sized election, but single-set operation, by the screen display election results that are located on the voting apparatus; Important or convention when work simultaneously in several places of particularly establishing many voting apparatus distribution meeting-place, can be pooled to the backstage by computer network and handle, and interface is provided, and election results output is shown.
