PURPOSE:To omit the need to set the note transfer direction in both money reception and payment states by providing an image data rotating (affine transformation) function which can read the image data on the notes in both directions regardless of the note input and output directions. CONSTITUTION:The skews (oblique motions) of the sample data on a close contact image sensor 1 and a magnetic image sensor 2 are corrected in a note recognition state together with correction of the 180 deg.-rotation of the image data caused by the transfer within a note discriminator unit 15 in both note input and output directions. For the purpose of these corrections, a system is developed with use of an image memory 6 and an image data parallel operational processor 8. Thus, the image data on the transferred notes can be read regardless of the note input or output direction of the unit 15. Therefore, it is possible to use the note transfer routes in common to each other between the money reception state (service counter cashbox) and the payment state (cashbox service counter). Then the mechanical structure of the note transfer route is simplified and miniaturized. |
