PURPOSE:To prevent the forgery of the specified picture of paper money, etc., and to output an input picture similar to paper money without changing the picture. CONSTITUTION:A histogram counter 42 detects the input picture and generates output for judging a similar degree between the input picture and the specified picture, paper money, for example. A paper money distinguishing part 43 judges identity affirmation that the input picture and the specified picture are identical, judges identity negation that the input picture and the specified picture are not identical or judges the presence of identity possibility that the posibility of the identity of the input picture and the specified picture exists based on the output of the histogram counter 42 and a judgement reference which is previously set. When the paper money distinguishing part 43 judges identity affirmation, an picture processing part 44 inhibits the output of the input picture. When the judgement of identity negation is executed, the output of the input picture is made possible. When the judgement of the presence of identity possibility is executed, the picture obtained by synthesizing an identification pattern with the input picture is outputted. |
