Description

Ticket identification device and identification method thereof Technical field

The invention relates to the field of ticket identification, and further relates to a ticket ticket identification device and a method for identifying the same.

Background technique

Tickets or currencies, such as checks, currencies, and other securities or vouchers, are indispensable in people's daily lives. Tickets or currencies all represent a certain value, so criminals will falsify tickets or currencies to quickly gain personal gain for themselves.

With the development of science and technology, various anti-counterfeiting technologies are becoming more and more advanced. On the one hand, this makes money or tickets not easy to copy; on the other hand, it also puts forward higher requirements for anti-counterfeiting.

The early monetary anti-counterfeiting technology was relatively simple, and the requirements for authentication technology were also low. However, with the development of technology, almost every new version of the currency will improve the anti-counterfeiting technology. Therefore, the requirements for authentication technology are also corresponding. increase.

The traditional money detectors mostly compare the captured images with the image features of real money through image sampling. This method of identification is relatively focused on the specific shape of the image, but it is considered in combination with the form of color and image. Less, or less attention to the characteristics of images under different color lights, but only image information under monochromatic light. Observing different currencies or tickets, you can understand that for most currencies or tickets, there are light color features, such as different viewing angles, different angles of light, the observed image features have a certain difference, and For this, traditional money detectors or authentication devices are less of a concern.

On the other hand, there is a situation in the process of currency identification or identification, that is, the uncertainty of the identification of some currencies. That is to say, after device authentication, it cannot be determined whether it is false or true. In this case, the usual way is to switch to a different money detector or to assist manual inspection. Of course, this can compensate for the defects in the inspection of a single device to a certain extent, but also indicates that the traditional inspection type Uncertain test content is not a good solution.

Similarly, image information of different wavelengths such as ultraviolet light and infrared light are stored, acquired, and compared, thereby more accurately identifying the authentication object by multiple comparisons. In other words, in an authentication process, only when the authentication information and the sample information alignment at different wavelengths are identical, the authentication object is judged to be true, thereby reducing the phenomenon of missing and misidentification, making the counterfeit currency difficult. Escape identification.

In an embodiment, the real sample information and the counterfeit sample information are respectively stored in the real sample area 1311 and the counterfeit sample area 1312 of the sample unit 131 by means of pre-acquisition.

For example, in the process of authentication, the authentication unit 132 compares the authentication information with the real sample information in the real sample region 1311 in the sample unit 131, when the authentication information and the real When the sample information is consistent, the authentication object is discriminated as true; when the authentication information is inconsistent with the real sample information, and the authentication result is uncertain, the pending authentication information and the counterfeit sample area 1312 are The counterfeit currency sample information is compared to further identify the authenticity of the uncertain identification object.
