Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé de reconnaissance d'objets du type pièces de monnaie, dans lequel on fait passer les objets un à un dans le champ d'action d'un détecteur (31) appartenant à un dispositif de reconnaissance (1), et en fonction de la réponse du détecteur au passage de chaque objet, on dirige sélectivement l'objet vers au moins une sortie (43, 44) du dispositif de reconnaissance (1) et respectivement on renvoie l'objet dans le champ d'action du détecteur (31). The invention relates to a method of recognizing objects of the coin type, in which the objects are passed one by one within the field of action of a detector (31) belonging to a recognition device (1), and depending on the response of the detector to the passage of each object, the object is selectively directed towards at least one output (43, 44) of the recognition device (1) and respectively the object is returned to the field of action of the detector (31).
