High speed paper currency recognition by neural networks.
In this paper a new technique is proposed to improve the recognition ability and the transaction speed to classify the Japanese and US paper currency. Two types of data sets, time series data and Fourier power spectra, are used in this study. In both cases, they are directly used as inputs to the neural network. Furthermore, we also refer a new evaluation method of recognition ability. Meanwhile, a technique is proposed to reduce the input scale of the neural network without preventing the growth of recognition. This technique uses only a subset of the original data set which is obtained using random masks. The recognition ability of using large data set and a reduced data set are discussed. In addition to that the results of using a reduced data set of the Fourier power spectra and the time series data are compared.
