Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for checking banknotes, in which data from at least two different measurements of the banknotes to be checked are evaluated.
  • the checking of banknotes is usually carried out by means of sensors which collect data representing certain banknotes properties.
  • the data of each sensor are usually evaluated independently of the data of the other sensors.
  • a device and a method for verifying the authenticity of documents are known in which the data of an optical sensor are used to determine the position of a magnetic security thread.
  • the position of the security thread determined by the optical sensor is used to purposefully control a magnetic sensor so that it can read the coding contained in the security thread exactly at the position of the security thread.
  • the known methods and devices for checking banknotes do not make any statements as to how the checking of banknotes can be improved by means of at least two different measurements of the banknotes to be checked if at least one of the different measurements contains information or data leading to a faulty check being able to lead.
  • the invention is based on a check of banknotes, in which data from at least two different measurements of the banknotes to be checked are evaluated, wherein a first property of the banknote to be checked is derived from the data of at least one first measurement, at least one second property of banknote to be checked is derived from the data of at least one second measurement, a correlation between first and at least second property is determined for identical locations of the banknote to be checked, and the first property is derived again, wherein at locations of the banknote to be checked for which a Correlation between the first and at least second property was determined, an altered derivative of the first property is made from the data of at least the first measurement.
  • correlation should not only be understood to mean the formation of a correlation function, but any local or nonlocal arithmetic or logical combination of data or of data derived from the data.
  • the invention thus has the particular advantage that disturbing information can be suppressed in the evaluated for the verification of the bill data due to the changed derivative, whereby the quality and plausibility of the review is improved.
  • This also makes it possible that features and / or properties of the examined Banknotes can be safely evaluated, whereas problems occur with only one measurement or two isolated measurements of features and / or properties, eg. B. because the detected features and / or properties are not unique.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a basic structure of a device 10 for the verification of banknotes.
  • the checking device 10 is designed as a bank-note processing machine and has an input pocket 20 for the input of banknotes 21 to be processed, in which a separator 22 engages.
  • the separator 22 detects one of the banknotes 21 to be processed and transfers the individual banknotes to a transport system 23, which transports the individual banknotes through a sensor arrangement 30.
  • At least two different sensors 31, 32, 33 are present in the sensor arrangement 30, for example a first optical sensor 31, which detects light reflected from the banknote, a second acoustic sensor 33, which detects the banknote originating, in particular transmitted, ultrasound signals detected, and a third optical sensor 32, which detects light transmitted through the banknote.
  • the sensors 31, 32, 33 carry out a measurement for checking the banknotes, in which they record features and / or properties of each individual banknote and generate corresponding data.
  • the sensors 31, 32, 33 detect the banknotes with a certain resolution, which results in a pixel size with which the banknotes are scanned and recorded.
  • data are formed by the sensors 31, 32, 33 and / or a control device 35, which represent each location on the surface of the respective banknote.
  • the generation of data by the sensors 31, 32, 33 may, for. B. for one side of the banknotes, d. H. for one of the surfaces of the banknotes, as well as both surfaces can be detected and appropriate data is provided.
  • the pages or surfaces of the banknotes are each completely detected and corresponding data for the complete page or surface generated.
  • the respective properties can be derived, for example, from the data of one or more of the sensors 31, 32, 33.
  • control device 35 the data of the sensors 31, 32, 33 are compared with reference data stored in the control device 35, which is the detection of genuine or counterfeit and / or suspected counterfeit Banknotes, the type of banknotes, the state of banknotes, etc. enable.
  • FIG. 2 is shown schematically a review of a banknote.
  • a first property of the banknote is to be determined, eg., the state of the banknote regarding the degree of soiling of the banknote.
  • staining should be understood to mean, in particular, stains, impermissibly added inscriptions, etc.
  • the controller 35 from the data of the first optical sensor 31, the z. B. detected by the banknote light of a certain wavelength, the areas or locations of the surface of the bill derived, whose data indicate that there is a contamination.
  • the areas of pollution by dark areas are indicated in a representation 131 representing the bill.
  • At least one second property of the banknote is determined, for.
  • the data indicate that there is damage or destruction.
  • the areas of damage or destruction by black areas 1 to 4 are indicated in a representation 132 representing the bank note.
  • the area 1 indicates a hole in the banknote
  • the areas 2 and 3 indicate cracks in the banknote
  • the areas 4 indicate flaws or dog-ears.
  • the data of the third acoustic sensor 33 can be used.
  • the data of the acoustic sensor 33 can additionally be evaluated by the control device 35 in various ways.
  • the locations of the banknote with holes 1 ', cracks 2' and defects 4 'from the control device 35 can, as shown in a representation 133 be derived.
  • a step 40 for checking or confirming the deduced holes, cracks and voids previously determined (representations 132 and 133) Holes 1,1 ', cracks 2, 3, 2' and defects 4, 4 'are compared, as shown in a representation 41. It is found, for example, that the crack 3 detected by the optical sensor 32 was not also detected by the acoustic sensor 33. In a next step 45, a representation 42 is therefore determined by the control device 35 in which only the hole 1, the crack 2 and the defects 4 are contained.
  • the information about dog ears 5 and adhesive strips 6 are matched in a further step 50 with the hole 1, the crack 2 and the defects 4, from the controller 35 to a representation 51, which contains all detected and checked damage or destruction of the bill.
  • a mask 61 is formed by the control device 35, which contains the spatial distribution of the damage or destruction 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, ie the locations of the banknote to be checked with the corresponding damage or destruction .
  • the mask 61 is placed by the control device 35 over the areas of soiling of the banknote, which were derived in the derivation of the first property of the bill to be checked from the data of the first sensor 31 and in the representation 131 are shown. This results in a representation 71 from which the spatial or local correlation of the first property (contamination) with the second property (damage or destruction) emerges.
  • the first characteristic characterizing the soiling is again derived by the controller 35 from the data (dark spots in illustration 131) of the first sensor 31, the derivative being changed from the data.
  • the data of the optical sensor 31, which correlate locally with the at least second property (damage or destruction), are not taken into account.
  • the distribution of contamination on the banknote to be checked which is shown in a representation 81, is taken into account in the re-derivation of the first property (soiling).
  • locations on the banknote to be checked that could be erroneously evaluated as fouling are not taken into account, thus improving the verification the banknote yields.
  • the data of the optical sensor 31 which correlate locally with the at least second property, are processed analogously, for. B. by means of a linear combination.
  • the changed derivative method of the fuzzy logic can be used alternatively or additionally.
  • the data of the optical sensor 31 can alternatively or additionally be linked to data from other sensors, with data always being linked, which relate to the same location of the respective banknote to be examined.
  • the rejection rate of banknotes when processing with a banknote processing machine can be considerably reduced, as a result of which the reworking can be correspondingly reduced and the throughput of banknotes to be achieved increased.
