Artificial neural network approach to authentication of coins by vision-based minimization
A new inspection system, consisting of two procedures for the authentication of coins, is proposed in this paper. In the first procedure, optimum image-matching positions are found by minimizing the matching error of the test coins with their prototype coins. The second procedure is the decision-making process that inspects the coins as genuine or spurious by the Back-Propagation Neural Network combined with the concept of eigen-section. Unlike the traditional approach based on gray-level values, the quantity (8 bits) of the color's scale has been adopted. The discrimination results are presented and discussed in this study.
