Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of document inspection, and more specifically, relates to a method and a terminal for automatically inspecting documents. Background Art

[0002] During travel, documents are often used, such as passports, border permits, Hong Kong and Macau permits, special administrative region border defense permits, migrant worker permits, etc. When passing through the inspection channel, each person needs to present their document to pass. During the epidemic, in order to reduce the spread of the virus, an automatic document inspection machine is used to check and stamp the documents.

[0003] When the existing automatic document inspection machine inspects a document, it can only check the validity of the document. If criminals illegally use other people's documents, it is very easy to pass through illegally.

[0004] For documents with multiple pages such as passports, not only after verifying the authenticity of the document, but also stamping is required, and in special periods, multiple stamps may be required. For example, during the epidemic, trucks need to be inspected and released simultaneously by three inspection units, namely the immigration inspection station, the customs, and the inspection and quarantine bureau, to pass through. Multiple stamps may not fit on the same page of the document, but the existing automatic document inspection machine does not support the page-turning function and cannot stamp on the next page. In addition, when stamping at different checkpoints, if there is already a stamp on the current page, but when using the automatic document inspection machine to stamp again, there may be a ghosting with the original stamp, resulting in an invalid stamp; if stamping on the next blank page again, it will waste the page of the document.

[0005] In addition, the existing automatic document inspection machine cannot identify whether the document has been turned to the last page, resulting in repeated reading by the internal scanning and recognition devices, which may cause the system to crash and affect the inspection efficiency.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present application, "a plurality of" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0086] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 together, and now a method for automatically checking documents provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described. The method for automatically checking documents includes the following steps:

[0087] Step S1: Receive the document of the certificate holder and perform anti-counterfeiting identification on the document;

[0088] Step S2: If the anti-counterfeiting identification of the document passes, obtain the document information, perform biometric identification on the certificate holder to obtain biometric information, and verify whether the document information and the biometric information match;

[0089] Step S3: If it is verified that the document information and the biometric information match, turn the page of the document;

[0090] Step S4: Scan the page of the turned document to obtain a page image, and perform blank page identification on the page image to identify whether the page image is a blank page;

[0091] Step S5: If it is recognized that the page image is a blank page, then stamp the current page of the certificate in sequential order. After stamping is completed, return the certificate to the holder; if a blank page is not recognized, perform a double-stamp recognition on the scanned image to determine whether there is a blank stamping area.

[0092] Step S6: If it is determined that there is the blank stamping area, then stamp in the blank stamping area. After stamping is completed, return the certificate to the holder; if it is determined that there is no such blank stamping area, then detect whether the certificate has been turned to the last page.

[0093] Step S7: If it is detected that the certificate has been turned to the last page, then transmit the certificate to the staff for processing; if it is detected that the certificate has not been turned to the last page, then return to Step S3.

[0094] It should be noted that in Step S1, the automatic inspection method of the certificate first needs to conduct anti-counterfeiting identification to exclude fake certificates and prevent criminals from using fake certificates to commit illegal crimes.

[0095] In Step S2, if the anti-counterfeiting identification of the certificate passes, then obtain the certificate information. Certificates such as passports and bankbooks contain multiple pages, and the certificate information is usually on the first page. The certificate information includes photos, certificate codes, issuing authorities, expiration dates, etc. By verifying whether the certificate information matches the biometric information, it can ensure the consistency of the person and the certificate. On the one hand, it can prevent criminals from stealing or fraudulently using others' certificates to pass the verification, and on the other hand, it can also remind the public not to misuse the certificates. It should be added that before conducting the anti-counterfeiting identification, the holder can first open the cover to obtain the information on the first page.

[0096] In Step S3, since the stamping area in the certificate is usually on the subsequent pages, turning the pages of the certificate can find a blank stamping area.

[0097] In Step S4, the area scanned for the certificate can be set as the stamping area in the certificate. The blank page refers to the page where the stamping area on the current page is blank. Outside the stamping area on the current page, there may be printed matter such as background patterns, borders, and text.

[0098] In Step S5, stamping the current page of the certificate in sequential order can save space so that there will be more blank areas available for stamping later. Because in some special occasions, for the same passage, multiple inspection agencies need to stamp simultaneously before it can be passed. For example, during the epidemic, trucks entering and leaving the country need to be simultaneously inspected and released by the immigration inspection station, the customs, and the inspection and quarantine bureau before they can pass.

[0099] In Steps S6 and S7, it is possible to detect whether the certificate has been turned to the last page, which can avoid the occurrence of card jams or system freezes.

[0100] Compared with the prior art, the automatic document review method provided by this application can ensure the consistency of the person and the certificate by verifying the certificate information and the biometric information. Through blank page recognition, blank pages can be automatically recognized, and through stamp ghosting recognition, blank stamped areas can be automatically obtained, making full use of the area of the blank stamped areas, automatically turning pages, and improving the review efficiency. A final page recognition mechanism is added to ensure the efficient operation of the program.

[0101] In another embodiment of this application, please also refer to Figure 3 , in step S4, the method for blank page recognition includes the following steps:

[0102] Select the valid area in the page image;

[0103] Judge whether there is a stamp mark in the valid area;

[0104] If it is judged that there is no stamp mark, it is recognized that the page image is a blank page;

[0105] If it is judged that there is a stamp mark, it is not recognized as a blank page, and then stamp ghosting recognition is performed.

[0106] It can be understood that since there are printed matters such as patterns, borders, and texts as well as text page margin blank areas outside the stamped area on each page of the certificate, in order to avoid interfering with the blank page recognition, it is necessary to first select the valid area in the page image. If there is a stamp mark in the valid area, it means that this page has been stamped and is not a blank page, and it is necessary to further perform stamp ghosting recognition. If there is no stamp mark in the valid area, stamping is performed in the current page order of the certificate.

[0107] Furthermore, please also refer to Figure 4 , the method for selecting the valid area in the page image includes the following steps:

[0108] Identify the fixed identifier in the page image;

[0109] Generate the valid area according to the fixed identifier.

[0110] Preferably, please also refer to Figure 6 , the fixed identifier is a rectangular pattern with a fixed line width, and thus the valid area is generated according to the area surrounded by the rectangular pattern. Furthermore, the recognition accuracy is improved and stamping outside the valid area is avoided. Of course, the fixed identifier can also be set as a background pattern with a specific color, and the area of this background pattern is used as the valid area. In actual application, it needs to be set according to the page pattern characteristics of different certificates.

[0111] In another embodiment of this application, please also refer to Figure 5and Figure 6 In step S5, the method of stamping in position sequence includes the following steps:

[0112] Generate a two-dimensional geometric model of the valid area;

[0113] Perform simulated stamping layout on the two-dimensional geometric model.

[0114] It can be understood that by generating a two-dimensional geometric model of the valid area and performing simulated stamping layout in the two-dimensional geometric model, a way of stamping the most can be calculated. To ensure that more seals can be stamped within the limited valid area and avoid overlapping of seals. It is worth adding that when performing simulated stamping layout, the distance between adjacent two stamping marks and the area size of a single stamping mark need to be considered. Among them, Figure 7 In, the rectangular line width is the fixed identifier, and the circular dotted line is the simulated stamping position.

[0115] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The method for identifying stamping ghosting includes the following steps:

[0116] Cut off the area corresponding to the stamping mark in the valid area to obtain a blank stamping area;

[0117] Generate a second-order two-dimensional geometric model of the blank stamping area;

[0118] Perform simulated stamping layout on the second-order two-dimensional geometric model.

[0119] It can be understood that by generating a second-order two-dimensional geometric model of the blank stamping area and performing simulated stamping layout in the second-order two-dimensional geometric model, a way of stamping the most can be calculated. It can not only ensure that more seals can be stamped within the limited blank stamping area, but also achieve ghosting-free stamping. Among them, Figure 8 In, the rectangular line width is the fixed identifier, the circular solid line is the stamping mark, and the circular dotted line is the simulated stamping position.

[0120] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 9 In step S6, the method for detecting whether the certificate has been turned to the last page includes the following steps:

[0121] Detect whether the page image contains the last-page feature;

[0122] If the last-page feature is detected, it is determined that the certificate has been turned to the last page;

[0123] If the last-page feature is not detected, it is determined that the certificate has not been turned to the last page.

[0124] It is understandable that the last page feature can be a special text, pattern, etc. in the last page of the document. In some documents, the last page is a pure white pattern, so the last page feature will also be set as the last page feature with a pure white pattern. The purpose is to accurately detect whether the document has been turned to the last page through the last page feature.

[0125] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 10 , the anti-counterfeiting identification method comprises:

[0126] emitting visible light and ultraviolet light onto the document;

[0127] The certificate is scanned to obtain a page image, and feature recognition is performed on the page image.

[0128] It is understandable that by emitting visible light and ultraviolet light to the document, the document can present a clear anti-counterfeiting image. For example, a passport can present an image of the Great Wall under the irradiation of visible light and ultraviolet light, that is, the image of the Great Wall can be used as a feature, and anti-counterfeiting identification can be achieved by obtaining the image of the Great Wall from the page image.

[0129] Furthermore, if the anti-counterfeiting identification fails, it is transmitted to the staff for review. If the staff review finds it false, the certificate will be confiscated, and the holder can even be interrogated to identify whether he is a criminal. If the staff review finds it true, the staff will handle it, which can be done by repeating step S1 again, or by manually stamping the certificate.

[0130] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 11 , the method for obtaining certificate information includes:

[0131] Reading the electronic tag in the certificate;

[0132] The ID of the electronic tag is sent to the database system to extract the identity information of the cardholder.

[0133] It can be understood that electronic tags are also called radio frequency tags, transponders, and data carriers; they are composed of coupling elements and chips. Each tag has a unique electronic code. High-capacity electronic tags have user-writable storage space and are attached to objects to identify target objects.

[0134] Furthermore, the method for obtaining certificate information also includes OCR (Optical Character Recognition) recognition, through which the text information on the certificate can be recognized and information such as the certificate code, issuing authority, and validity period can be extracted.

[0135] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer toFigure 12 , the biometric identification method includes:

[0136] Obtaining the fingerprint information of the certificate holder through a fingerprint acquisition device;

[0137] And / or, obtaining the face information of the certificate holder through a face recognition camera;

[0138] And / or, obtaining the iris information of the certificate holder through an iris camera.

[0139] It can be understood that by comparing the certificate information with the biometric information to ensure the unity of the person and the certificate, on the one hand, it can prevent criminals from stealing or fraudulently using others' certificates to pass the verification, and on the other hand, it can also remind the public not to misuse the certificates.

[0140] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 , in step S1, after receiving the certificate of the certificate holder and before performing anti-counterfeiting identification on the certificate, it further includes: sterilizing the certificate with an ultraviolet lamp.

[0141] It can be understood that during the epidemic, by sterilizing the certificate with ultraviolet light, the probability of virus transmission can be effectively reduced and the hygienic safety can be improved.

[0142] Please refer to Figures 13 to 14 , the present application also provides a certificate automatic access terminal, and the certificate automatic access terminal includes:

[0143] A housing 10, provided with a certificate entrance and exit 11;

[0144] A transmission mechanism 20, installed inside the housing 10 and connected to the certificate entrance and exit 11 for certificate transmission;

[0147] A stamping mechanism 60, provided on the transmission mechanism 20 for stamping the certificate.

[0148] It can be understood that after the licensee puts the certificate into the certificate entrance and exit 11, the transmission mechanism 20 can transport it to the certificate identification device 30. The certificate identification device 30 can identify the certificate, obtain the certificate information and anti-counterfeiting appraisal, and obtain the stamped area in the certificate. The biometric identification device 40 can obtain the biometric information of the licensee and perform an authentication and verification by combining the obtained biometric information with the certificate information. The page-turning mechanism 50 is used to turn the pages of the certificate, cooperate with the certificate identification device 30, and obtain the stamping position so that the stamping mechanism 60 can perform ghost-free stamping.

[0149] After stamping is completed, the transmission mechanism 20 transports in the reverse direction and then exits the certificate from the certificate entrance and exit 11 to the licensee.

[0150] Compared with the prior art, the automatic certificate viewing terminal provided by the present application can achieve anti-counterfeiting appraisal and person-certificate integration verification by setting the certificate identification device 30 and the biometric identification device 40; by setting the page-turning mechanism 50 and cooperating with the certificate identification device 30, it can automatically obtain the stamping position, make full use of the area of the blank stamping area, automatically turn the pages, and improve the viewing efficiency.

[0151] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 14 together. The certificate entrance and exit 11 is provided with an infrared sensor 111, and the infrared sensor 111 can sense the certificate, so that the transmission mechanism 20 transports the certificate to the biometric identification device 40.

[0152] It can be understood that by setting the infrared sensor 111, it can automatically sense whether there is a certificate output, so as to start the transmission mechanism 20 in the first time and transport the certificate to the inside of the terminal. The whole process is automated, practical and convenient.

[0153] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 14 together. The certificate entrance and exit 11 is provided with an electronic tag sensor 112, and the electronic tag sensor 112 can sense the electronic tag in the certificate and obtain the electronic code of the certificate.

[0154] It can be understood that by setting the infrared sensor 111, it can automatically sense whether there is a certificate output, so as to start the transmission mechanism 20 in the first time and transport the certificate to the inside of the terminal.
