Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) light illuminates a valuable media item along a pathway of a valuable media depository and UV signal readings are captured in response to the illuminated valuable media item. The signal readings are adjusted to account for any integrated metallic material and for any contamination present on the media item or any contamination that is a result of the media item having been washed. The adjusted signal readings are processed to determine whether the media item is genuine and/or fit for being further processed within the depository.
Claims6
A method, comprising:
- obtaining Ultraviolet (UV) readings in response to illuminating a currency note being transported within a Self-Service Terminal (SST);
- identifying a first portion of the readings for the UV readings that is indicative of a metallic material being integrated into the currency note;
- acquiring a second portion of the readings from the UV readings that is indicative of a contamination being present on the currency note;
- reshaping the UV readings as new readings using the first portion and the second portion;
- extracting a vector of features from the new readings;
- and
- determining whether the currency note is acceptable or unacceptable for further processing within the SST by comparing the vector to a model template for acceptable and unacceptable currency notes.
