METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING DENOMINATION OF PAPER MONEY

摘要

Provided are a method and an apparatus for recognizing a denomination. The method includes: receiving an image of the paper money including figures and letters to extract an image of a specific portion characterizing the denomination; allocating the image of the specific portion to an area having a predetermined number of pixels, converting values of quantitated pixel into numerical values, and arranging the numerical values in a sequences to generate input data; inputting the input data into a neural network which has learnt a plurality of pieces of standard data of denominations to allow the input data to be compared with the plurality of pieces of standard data and outputting probability values depending on a number of cases corresponding to each denomination; and arranging the probability values output from the neural network in descending order, selecting a case according to standard data having the highest probability value, and outputting a denomination corresponding to the selected case as recognition data.
