MEDIUM RECOVERY DEVICE FOR MEDIUM PROCESSING DEVICE
The medium recovery device for a medium processing device according to the present invention has a diaphragm inclinedly formed therein, thereby increasing the quantity of uncollected medium loaded in the medium recovery device.
The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine including a main body in which a paper medium is received or withdrawn, a cassette slidably mounted on or removed from the main body, and which has one side with a cassette coupler for receiving power from the main body and an interior for receiving the paper medium, a receiving unit arranged in the main body to accommodate the cassette, and which has a main body coupler to be coupled to the cassette coupler to transmit power from the main body to the cassette when the cassette is mounted in the receiving unit, and coupling units formed in the main body coupler and the cassette coupler to enable the main body coupler and the cassette coupler to be coupled with each other in such a manner that the rotation center lines of the main body coupler and the cassette coupler coincide with each other on the same axial line. The automatic teller machine of the present invention operates the cassette by using power transmitted from the main body of the automatic teller machine, thereby eliminating the necessity of a separate driving unit for driving the cassette.

RECOGNIZING THE DENOMINATION OF A NOTE USING WAVELET TRANSFORM
The present invention relates to a method of recognizing the denomination of a note using wavelet transform, and more particularly, to a method of recognizing a note using a feature vector that is configured by performing wavelet transform for an inputted note image by a predetermined number of times and comparing the magnitudes of the absolute values of wavelet coefficients with a reference value. A method of recognizing a denomination of a note using wavelet transform according to the present invention comprises the steps of scanning the note and performing the wavelet transform for the original image obtaining wavelet coefficients for each of sub-bands and dividing each of the sub-bands into m x n cells comparing a magnitude of an absolute value and extracting the number of wavelet coefficients completing the extracting step for each of the sub-bands, and recognizing the denomination of the note by measuring similarity.
The present invention relates to a method of recognizing the denomination of a note using wavelet transform, and more particularly, to a method of recognizing a note using a feature vector that is configured by preprocessing an inputted note image, such as detecting edges in the note image, performing wavelet transform for the preprocessed input image by a predetermined number of times, and comparing the magnitudes of the absolute values of wavelet coefficients with a reference value, in order to more correctly recognize the denomination of the note without being affected by entire or partial contamination of the note.
The present invention relates to a method of recognizing the denomination of a note, and more particularly, to a method of recognizing a note using a feature vector that is configured by dividing an inputted note image into blocks, performing wavelet transform for each of the blocks, and selecting the entire wavelet transformed image or a block where the performance of recognizing the denomination of the note is maximized. A method of recognizing a denomination of a note comprises the steps of dividing an original image into a predetermined number of blocks; performing wavelet transform for each of the divided images; obtaining wavelet coefficients for each of sub-bands, and dividing each of the sub-bands into a predetermined number of cells; comparing a magnitude of an absolute value, and extracting the number of wavelet coefficients; completing the extracting step for each of the sub-bands; and recognizing the denomination of the note.
