JPS6474700A - Checking machine - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an unmanned checking machine by picking up the picture of a fixed area of a road and recognizing a car number out of the picked up picture via a picture confirming means so that this recognizing result is transmitted via a transmitting means. CONSTITUTION:The picture of a fixed area of a road is picked up by an image pickup device 1 of a checking machine and then stored in a picture memory 2. The stored contents are successively read out and supplied to a correlator 3. The correlator 3 reads the character data out of a character pattern memory 4 and performs the correlative arithmetic to the picture data read out of the memory 2. This correlative arithmetic result is larger than a fixed level and a character pattern that ensures the largest arithmetic result is stored in a character memory 5 as the recognized characters. The stored contents of the memory 5 are transmitted by a transmitting device 7. Thus an unmanned checking machine is obtained.
