Description

この発明は、紙幣等のような被照射物のホログラム部分を読み取るイメージセンサに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an image sensor that reads a hologram portion of an irradiated object such as a banknote.

従来、イメージセンサなどの読取装置として、例えば、特開2000−293105号公報図1(特許文献1)に記載のラベル識別装置があった。この特許文献1には、光識別ラベル1の反射体の受光面に、1つの光源10からビーム光が照射され、反射体の受光面は、ビーム光を2つの反射光に転換し、第1光成分Aは第1センサ11に向けて送られ、第2光成分Bは、第2センサ12に向けて送られる。また、特開2006−39996号公報図1(特許文献2)に記載の紙葉類の認識装置には、照明装置10から出射され、紙葉類20を透過した光をレンズアレイ11により受光素子12へ導く構成ものが開示されている。   Conventionally, as a reading device such as an image sensor, for example, there is a label identification device described in FIG. 1 (Patent Document 1) of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-293105. In Patent Document 1, the light receiving surface of the reflector of the optical identification label 1 is irradiated with the beam light from one light source 10, and the light receiving surface of the reflector converts the beam light into two reflected lights. The light component A is sent toward the first sensor 11, and the second light component B is sent toward the second sensor 12. In the paper sheet recognition apparatus described in FIG. 1 (Patent Document 2) of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-39996, the light emitted from the illumination device 10 and transmitted through the paper sheet 20 is received by the lens array 11. The structure leading to 12 is disclosed.

また、特開2007−249475号公報図1(特許文献3参照)には、ホログラム領域を有する被照射物1を搬送方向に搬送する搬送手段と、ホログラム領域における照射部3aに光を照射する第1光源4と、第1光源4と搬送方向に沿って離隔して設けられ、ホログラム領域が所定距離だけ搬送されたときのホログラム領域における照射部3bに光を照射する第2光源6とを備え、第1光源4の光を照射部3aに照射する照射角度を、ホログラム領域が所定距離だけ搬送されたときの第2光源6の光を照射部3bに光を照射する照射角度と異なるように構成し、ホログラム領域による反射光をそれぞれ受光し、被照射物1のホログラム領域に関する電気信号を検出するものが記載されている。   Further, FIG. 1 (see Patent Document 3) of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-249475 discloses a transport unit that transports an irradiation object 1 having a hologram region in a transport direction, and a first unit that irradiates light to an irradiation unit 3a in the hologram region. 1 light source 4, and a second light source 6 provided to be separated from the first light source 4 along the transport direction and irradiate light to the irradiation unit 3 b in the hologram region when the hologram region is transported by a predetermined distance. The irradiation angle at which the light from the first light source 4 is irradiated to the irradiation unit 3a is different from the irradiation angle at which the light from the second light source 6 is irradiated to the irradiation unit 3b when the hologram region is conveyed by a predetermined distance. A configuration is described in which reflected light from the hologram region is received, and an electrical signal related to the hologram region of the irradiated object 1 is detected.

しかしながら、特許文献1に記載されたラベル識別装置は、光源からの光をラベルの反射体の受光面に対して照射し、受光面で反射された2種の光成分を設置角度の異なる2種のセンサで検出するものであるが、光を集束させるレンズなどが無いため識別すべき画像の読み取り位置や焦点位置が定まらず、マクロ的なラベルの真正品か否かを識別することは可能であるものの緻密な画素レベルにおけるラベルの識別には不十分であると言う問題点があった。また、特許文献2に記載された認識装置は、紙葉類の形状を認識することは可能なものの紙葉類で透過されない部分の読み取りは原理的に不可能であると言う問題点もあった。   However, the label identification device described in Patent Document 1 irradiates light from the light source onto the light receiving surface of the reflector of the label, and two types of light components reflected on the light receiving surface are different in two installation angles. However, since there is no lens to focus the light, the reading position and focus position of the image to be identified are not determined, and it is possible to identify whether the label is genuine or not. However, there is a problem that it is insufficient for identifying a label at a precise pixel level. In addition, the recognition device described in Patent Document 2 has a problem in that it can recognize the shape of a paper sheet, but in principle cannot read a portion that is not transmitted through the paper sheet. .

また、特許文献3に記載された画像読取装置は、ホログラム領域の画像を白色光源などで読み取り、被照射物に対する真偽判別するものの光源部分の詳しい記載はない。   Further, the image reading apparatus described in Patent Literature 3 reads an image in a hologram area with a white light source or the like and determines authenticity of an irradiated object, but there is no detailed description of a light source portion.

It is an object to provide an image sensor that can be discriminated.

また、この発明は、被照射物の搬送経路に沿って設けられた照射部にそれぞれ異なる角度からホログラム部分(領域)に波長の異なる多数の光源を照射することにより、ホログラム領域で発生した反射光のスペクトルの差異を検出することにより、さらに高精度な真偽判別が可能なイメージセンサを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention also provides reflected light generated in the hologram region by irradiating a plurality of light sources having different wavelengths to the hologram portion (region) from different angles to the irradiation unit provided along the conveyance path of the irradiated object. It is an object of the present invention to provide an image sensor capable of performing true / false discrimination with higher accuracy by detecting the difference between the spectra.

次にホログラム読み取りの構成について説明する。図4は、紙幣1の搬送方向に沿って並列に2台のイメージセンサ(CISと呼称)を配置した図である。図4において、3aは第1照射部、3bは第2照射部である。21はイメージセンサであり、21aは第1イメージセンサ(CIS)、21bは第2イメージセンサ(CIS)である。これらは搬送方向に一定の距離を離間して設置する。また、図5に示すように金融端末分野などで使用する紙幣判別機(紙葉類判別装置)に搭載されるイメージセンサなどの読取装置においては、紙幣1の表裏画像を1回の搬送で同時に画像を読み取る場合がある。図5において21cは紙幣1の裏面読み取り用の第3イメージセンサ(CIS)、21dは紙幣1の裏面読み取り用の第4イメージセンサ(CIS)であり、これら裏面読み取り用のCISも搬送方向に一定の距離を離間して設置する。図4、図5中、図1と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示す。   Next, the configuration of hologram reading will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram in which two image sensors (referred to as CIS) are arranged in parallel along the conveyance direction of the banknote 1. In FIG. 4, 3a is a 1st irradiation part, 3b is a 2nd irradiation part. 21 is an image sensor, 21a is a first image sensor (CIS), and 21b is a second image sensor (CIS). These are set apart by a certain distance in the transport direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in a reading device such as an image sensor mounted on a banknote discriminator (paper sheet discriminating device) used in the financial terminal field or the like, the front and back images of the banknote 1 are simultaneously conveyed by one transport. An image may be read. In FIG. 5, 21c is a third image sensor (CIS) for reading the back side of the banknote 1, 21d is a fourth image sensor (CIS) for reading the back side of the banknote 1, and the CIS for reading the back side is also constant in the transport direction. Set the distance apart. 4 and 5, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote the same or corresponding parts.

紙幣1の表裏同時読み取る場合には、CIS21a及びCIS21bが紙幣1の搬送経路一方の面に配置されるのに対してCIS21c及びCIS21dは、CIS21a及びCIS21bとは上下反転させて他方の面に配置される。従って、紙幣1の搬送方向に直交する主走査方向(読み取り幅方向)においては、CIS21a及びCIS21bは走査方向は同一で左端から右端に向かって走査され、CIS21c及びCIS21dは走査方向は同一であるが右端から左端に向かって走査される。また、照射部3aと照射部3c及び照射部3bと照射部3dは搬送経路において光源の干渉を防止するため少し離間させて設置する。なお、図中、図4と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示す。   When the front and back of the banknote 1 are read simultaneously, the CIS 21a and CIS 21b are arranged on one side of the conveyance path of the banknote 1, whereas the CIS 21c and CIS 21d are arranged upside down on the other side of the CIS 21a and CIS 21b. The Therefore, in the main scanning direction (reading width direction) orthogonal to the banknote 1 conveyance direction, the CIS 21a and CIS 21b have the same scanning direction and are scanned from the left end to the right end, while the CIS 21c and CIS 21d have the same scanning direction. Scanning from the right end to the left end. In addition, the irradiation unit 3a and the irradiation unit 3c, and the irradiation unit 3b and the irradiation unit 3d are set apart from each other in order to prevent light source interference in the transport path. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 4 denote the same or corresponding parts.

次にホログラム読み取りの動作について図4を用いて説明する。紙幣1のホログラム領域の画像を読み取る場合には、光源の照射角度を変更して読み取った画像を信号処理する。従って、まず、搬送ローラ2aで搬送されてきた紙幣1の画像をCIS21aの照射部3aにおいて導光体4a、4dから照射された光を取り込み信号処理する。次に搬送ローラ2bで引き続き搬送されてきた紙幣1の画像をCIS21bの照射部3bにおいて導光体4b、4cから照射された光を取り込み信号処理する。   Next, the hologram reading operation will be described with reference to FIG. When reading the image of the hologram area of the banknote 1, the read image is subjected to signal processing by changing the irradiation angle of the light source. Therefore, first, the image of the banknote 1 conveyed by the conveying roller 2a is subjected to signal processing by taking in the light irradiated from the light guides 4a and 4d in the irradiation unit 3a of the CIS 21a. Next, the image of the banknote 1 continuously conveyed by the conveyance roller 2b is subjected to signal processing by taking in the light irradiated from the light guides 4b and 4c in the irradiation unit 3b of the CIS 21b.

信号処理は、CIS21aのホログラム領域で得た画像とCIS21bのホログラム領域で得た画像を差分処理してホログラムの真偽判別を行う。また、ホログラム画像は照射する光の波長によっても異なる画像となるので適宜光源色を変更することで精度の高い真偽判別が可能となる。また、簡易的な真偽判別の場合には、1台のCISを用いて狭角照射と広角照射を1ラインの読み取り区間内に交互に点灯させても良い。   In the signal processing, the image obtained in the hologram area of the CIS 21a and the image obtained in the hologram area of the CIS 21b are differentially processed to determine the authenticity of the hologram. Further, since the hologram image differs depending on the wavelength of light to be irradiated, it is possible to determine the authenticity with high accuracy by appropriately changing the light source color. In the case of simple authenticity determination, narrow-angle irradiation and wide-angle irradiation may be alternately turned on within one line reading section using one CIS.

また、紙幣1で蛍光発光された画像を読み取る場合には、紫外線(UV光)などの比較的光学波長の短い照明光を照射することにより読み取りを行う。   Moreover, when reading the image fluorescently emitted with the banknote 1, it reads by irradiating illumination light with comparatively short optical wavelengths, such as an ultraviolet-ray (UV light).

次に導光体4やLEDアレイ光源5を用いた照明装置について説明する。図6は実施の形態1に係るイメージセンサの導光体断面図である。図6において、40は導光体4の長手方向(主走査方向)底面に白色シルク材料で印刷した光散乱層である。図7は光散乱層の各種パターンであり、図7(a)は導光体4の長手方向に幅やパターン間隔が変化する線状パターン、図7(b)は導光体4の長手方向に幅やパターン間隔が変化する線状及び島状パターン、図7(c)は中抜きの菱形パターンである。図7において、41は照射領域端部から離間した中央部付近に設けた島状の光散乱層パターン、42は照射領域中央部に漸近して幅広とし、その内部に中抜きパターンを設けた光散乱層パターンである。   Next, an illumination device using the light guide 4 and the LED array light source 5 will be described. FIG. 6 is a light guide cross-sectional view of the image sensor according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 40 denotes a light scattering layer printed with a white silk material on the bottom surface of the light guide 4 in the longitudinal direction (main scanning direction). 7 shows various patterns of the light scattering layer, FIG. 7A shows a linear pattern in which the width and pattern interval change in the longitudinal direction of the light guide 4, and FIG. 7B shows the longitudinal direction of the light guide 4. FIG. 7C shows a hollow rhombus pattern in which the width and the pattern interval change. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 41 denotes an island-like light scattering layer pattern provided near the central portion that is separated from the end of the irradiation region, 42 indicates light that is asymptotic to the central portion of the irradiation region and widened, and a hollow pattern is provided therein. It is a scattering layer pattern.

本実施の形態1では、導光体4は両側にLED基板17に搭載したLEDチップを設置しているので図7(a)に示すように導光体4の長手方向中央部ほど光散乱領域が多いように設計される。一方で導光体4の光散乱層のパターン間隔が照射領域中央部に漸近するに連れて狭くすると共に図7(b)に示すように中央部付近のパターンを線状から島状とし、導光体4を介して設けるLEDアレイ光源5の透過光量の透過率を向上させても良い。さらに別の手段として、導光体4の光散乱層のパターンが、照射領域中央部に漸近するに連れ幅広とすると共に図7(c)に示すように幅広領域には抜きパターンを設けることにより、導光体4を介して設けるLEDアレイ光源5の透過光量の透過率を向上させても良い。   In the first embodiment, since the light guide 4 is provided with LED chips mounted on the LED substrate 17 on both sides, as shown in FIG. It is designed so that there are many. On the other hand, the pattern spacing of the light scattering layer of the light guide 4 becomes narrower as it approaches the center of the irradiation area, and the pattern near the center is changed from a line shape to an island shape as shown in FIG. You may improve the transmittance | permeability of the transmitted light amount of the LED array light source 5 provided via the light body 4. FIG. As another means, the light scattering layer pattern of the light guide 4 becomes wider as it approaches the center of the irradiation area, and a blank pattern is provided in the wide area as shown in FIG. The transmittance of the transmitted light amount of the LED array light source 5 provided via the light guide 4 may be improved.

なお、光散乱層40、41、42は本実施の形態1では印刷パターンを用いて説明したが、導光体4の照射方向の底面側表面粗度を粗くして光散乱層としても良い。   Although the light scattering layers 40, 41, and 42 have been described using printed patterns in the first embodiment, the light-scattering layer may be formed by roughening the surface roughness on the bottom surface side in the irradiation direction of the light guide 4.

図8は実施の形態1に係るイメージセンサのLEDアレイ光源の平面図であり、50は紫外線(UV)光源である。図8において、UV光源は、紙幣1に照射することにより、紙幣1で発した蛍光を読み取るものである。UV光源50を搭載したLEDアレイ光源5は、導光体4で設置した光散乱層で遮光された光量を補うようにLEDアレイ光源5の長手方向中央部を密な発光領域とするため、配置するピッチを中央部ほど短く(C<B<Aで示す)する。   FIG. 8 is a plan view of the LED array light source of the image sensor according to the first embodiment, and 50 is an ultraviolet (UV) light source. In FIG. 8, the UV light source reads the fluorescence emitted from the banknote 1 by irradiating the banknote 1. The LED array light source 5 equipped with the UV light source 50 is arranged in order to make the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the LED array light source 5 a dense light emitting region so as to compensate for the amount of light blocked by the light scattering layer installed by the light guide 4. The pitch to be made is shortened toward the center (indicated by C <B <A).

FIG. 9A is a plan view of the LED array light source arranged at an equal pitch, and FIG. 9B is a side view thereof. , 51 is a resin coating layer for protecting the UV light source 50. In FIG. 9, even when the arrangement pitch of the UV light sources 50 is set to an equal pitch, the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the LED array light source 5 emits dense light so as to compensate for the amount of light shielded by the light scattering layer installed by the light guide 4. By making the resin coating layer 51 thicker at the center (indicated by h3> h2> h1) in order to make it a region, the thicker the resin coating layer 51, the greater the light condensing property due to the lens effect due to the resin. Will increase.

なお、図8、図9ではLEDチップの光源をUV光源50としたが、青色発光光源でも良く、紙幣1の蛍光発光を受光する用途以外では、導光体4に搭載した波長の異なる多数のLEDチップ光源同様LEDアレイ光源5の基材表面にアレイ状に波長の異なる多数のLEDチップを搭載し、照射光量増加の目的としてLEDアレイ光源5を使用しても良い。   8 and 9, the light source of the LED chip is the UV light source 50, but it may be a blue light source, and other than the application of receiving the fluorescence emission of the banknote 1, there are many different wavelengths mounted on the light guide 4. Similar to the LED chip light source, a large number of LED chips with different wavelengths may be mounted on the substrate surface of the LED array light source 5, and the LED array light source 5 may be used for the purpose of increasing the amount of irradiation light.

図10は、実施の形態1に係るイメージセンサの導光体の端部に搭載するLED基板の平面図である。図10において、60はLEDチップであり、60aは緑色発光光源(G光源)、60bは赤外線(IR)光源である。70はLED基板17のパターンであり、70aは共通電極パターン(VLED)、70bはG光源60aの個別パターン(C1)、70cはIR光源60bの個別パターン、70dはダミーパターン、80は間隙(スリット)パターンである。90はLEDチップ60のアノードとカソードとをLED基板17のパターンに接続する金線やアルミ線を用いたワイヤである。   FIG. 10 is a plan view of the LED substrate mounted on the end portion of the light guide of the image sensor according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 10, 60 is an LED chip, 60a is a green light source (G light source), and 60b is an infrared (IR) light source. 70 is a pattern of the LED substrate 17, 70a is a common electrode pattern (VLED), 70b is an individual pattern (C1) of the G light source 60a, 70c is an individual pattern of the IR light source 60b, 70d is a dummy pattern, and 80 is a gap (slit). ) Pattern. Reference numeral 90 denotes a wire using a gold wire or an aluminum wire for connecting the anode and the cathode of the LED chip 60 to the pattern of the LED substrate 17.

図11は、図10に示すLED基板17の配線図である。LED基板17の端子から供給されたLED駆動電流は共通電極パターン70aに流れ、C1(70b)、C2(70b)からLED基板17の端子に帰還する。   FIG. 11 is a wiring diagram of the LED substrate 17 shown in FIG. The LED drive current supplied from the terminal of the LED board 17 flows to the common electrode pattern 70a and returns to the terminal of the LED board 17 from C1 (70b) and C2 (70b).

なお図2においては、第1導光体4aを介してLEDアレイ光源5aからの光を照射部3aに照射し、第4導光体4dを介してLEDアレイ光源5bからの光を照射部3aに照射するようにしたが、導光体4b及び導光体4cを介してLEDアレイ光源を設けても良い。また、全ての導光体4a〜4dを介してLEDアレイ光源を設けても良い。   In FIG. 2, the irradiation unit 3a is irradiated with light from the LED array light source 5a via the first light guide 4a, and the light from the LED array light source 5b is irradiated via the fourth light guide 4d. The LED array light source may be provided via the light guide 4b and the light guide 4c. Moreover, you may provide an LED array light source through all the light guides 4a-4d.

また、本実施の形態1では、照射部3に対して紙幣1の搬送方向両側から照射したが、搬送される紙幣1に皺が無い場合や搬送による浮きが無い場合には、片側方向から照射するようにしても良い。   Moreover, in this Embodiment 1, although it irradiated from the conveyance direction both sides of the banknote 1 with respect to the irradiation part 3, when the banknote 1 conveyed does not have a wrinkle or the float by conveyance, it irradiates from one side direction You may make it do.

以上から照射角度の異なる導光体光源とLEDアレイ光源とを同一のイメージセンサ内に搭載したので、高輝度を必要とする光源に対してはLEDアレイ光源側に多数のLEDチップを載置することにより、短時間で被照射物に対するホログラムの真偽判別に必要な画像出力を得ることが可能となる。   As described above, since the light guide light source and the LED array light source having different irradiation angles are mounted in the same image sensor, a large number of LED chips are mounted on the LED array light source side for a light source that requires high brightness. As a result, it is possible to obtain an image output necessary for determining the authenticity of the hologram with respect to the irradiated object in a short time.
