Abstract
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Erkennen von Münzen in einem Münzautomaten. Die Erkennung erfolgt abhängig von einem aufgezeichneten Höhenbild der Münze in einer effektiven und robusten Weise. Zur Erzeugung eines Echt- oder Falschsignals für die zu erkennende Münze wird das Höhenprofil bei unterschiedlichen relativen Winkelorientierungen gegenüber einem Referenz-Höhenprofil entlang einer Kreisbahn oder in einem Bereich ermittelt und der Extremwert bei unterschiedlicher relativer Winkelorientierung bestimmt. The invention relates to a method for recognizing coins in a coin machine. The detection takes place in an effective and robust manner depending on a recorded height image of the coin. In order to generate a real or false signal for the coin to be recognized, the height profile is determined with different relative angle orientations compared to a reference height profile along a circular path or in an area and the extreme value is determined with different relative angle orientations.
