Title
(EN) DOCUMENT HANDLING APPARATUS AND METHOD
(FR) APPAREIL ET PROCEDE POUR MANIPULER DES DOCUMENTS
Abstract
(EN) Document handling apparatus comprising a transport system (15, 19, 21, 23, 25); and a pattern recognition system (50) past which documents are transported by the transport system. The pattern recognition system (50) is adapted to obtain an image of each document, to compare the image with one or more reference images, and to recognise the document only when the comparison satisfies predetermined conditions. The predetermined conditions are defined so as at least to distinguish between single spaced documents on theone hand and overlapped or stream fed documents on the other hand, the document being recognised solely on the basis of the outcome of the comparison.
(FR) L'invention concerne un appareil de manipulation de documents, qui comprend un système de transport (15, 19, 21, 23, 25), et un système de reconnaissance de motif (50) devant lequel des documents sont transportés par le système de transport. Ce système de reconnaissance de motif (50) est conçu pour obtenir une image de chaque document, pour comparer cette image avec au moins une image de référence, et pour reconnaître le document uniquement lorsque la comparaison satisfait différentes conditions prédéterminées. Ces conditions prédéterminées sont définies de manière à au moins distinguer entre des documents espacés uniques d'une part, et des documents chevauchés ou alimentés par flux d'autre part, le document étant reconnu uniquement sur la base du résultat de la comparaison.
