Banknotes Serial Number Recognition
This system allows to automatically recognize serial numbers from paper currency.
As input is required an image of the bank note to read and as output is returned the serial number and a confidence level ranging from 0% to 100%.
The bank notes can be scanned at 200 DPI in grayscale using every kind of image scanner, with ADF or with single bill manual feeding (eg: Olivetti PR2E Scanner).
The recognition system works in this way:
- the image of the paper bill is binarized automatically using our state of art dynamic thresholding technology
- the serial number(s) are searched across the image using a customized artifical intelligence subsystem trained on all paper currencies supported
- the codelines with alphanumeric serial numbers are recognized using our OCR Omnifont Engine
- the serials encoded as barcode are recognized using our BCR Engine
- the recognition result is verified using cross validation when two serial numbers are present on each banknote and/or using checksum when available, updating the recognition confidence level
- the recognized bank-note serial number and the recognition confidence level are returned to the user/application for next processing, as storage, printing, etc..
This process is very complex, but is completely automatic, fast and accurate!
The product is available as DLL for integration in own applications, or as add-on for Recogniform Image Processor or for Recogniform Paper Capture, for user requiring a full solution ready to use.
The system works on Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP.
Currently the recognition of serial number can be performed on banknotes of EUR, USD and LBP currency: on Your request, we can provide customized version to recognize amd capture serials of every currency/paper notes.
