Correlation coefficient). Although the ideal value is considered to be a correlation coefficient of -1, it is actually a value larger than -1 due to the effects of banknote defacement, wrinkles, and watermark shift.

- a watermark image region is extracted from the pixel information thus converted (ST02). For example, when a banknote is transported, the density value of the pixel information increases (turns white) at the stage of transition from the print area to the watermark image area, so that the displacement position is detected by setting a threshold value. This makes it possible to extract a watermark image area.
- the watermark image area can be extracted by various methods based on the obtained image information or the converted image information.

In this case, if no watermark is formed on the conveyed banknote, there is no correlation between them (the correlation coefficient approaches 0), so a predetermined threshold is set for the derived correlation coefficient R. On the other hand, if the correlation coefficient R is lower than the threshold value, it is determined that the watermark is not formed (ST04; No, ST08).
- the second comparison process is subsequently executed (ST05).
- this comparison process uses image data obtained by transmitted light and reflected light (remarkably recognized by near-infrared light, so image data from a reflected light source that irradiates infrared light among light sources is used. Is a process of identifying authenticity using the relationship because the image is inverted, and the image information of the watermark area by the reflected light acquired from the conveyed banknote and the watermark area of the standard image The authenticity of the bill to be conveyed is identified by deriving the correlation coefficient R ′ represented by the above-described equation 1 with the image information by the transmitted light.

- both image data have a relationship in which light and dark are reversed. That is, in the conversion unit 232, the density value for each pixel obtained by the reflected light of the watermark image is in a relationship opposite to the density value for each pixel by the transmitted light obtained at the same position.
- the correlation coefficient R ′ is calculated from the density value, the correlation coefficient shifted to the negative side within the range of ⁇ 1 ⁇ R ′ ⁇ 1, which can be taken by the correlation coefficient R ′ (negative correlation) Number).
- the pixels of the acquired watermark image are set so as to correspond to the pixel positions of the standard image of the reference banknote. It is preferable to perform position correction (referred to as neighborhood search) by moving the position, and extract the place where the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is the highest between the two to identify the authenticity.
