Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a check authentication method based on multispectral image fusion and OCR, including: 101. Obtain the equipment information of the multispectral ticket scanning device, and load the corresponding equipment parameters based on the equipment information; In this embodiment, the check authentication method based on multispectral image fusion and OCR is applied to the check authentication system based on multispectral image fusion and OCR. After the system starts, it first obtains the device information of the currently connected multispectral ticket scanning device by calling the driver layer interface (e.g., DPM_SP_GetDevInfo). The device information includes the device model, firmware version number, CIS type (e.g., standard 126mm or cost-reduced 108mm) and supported scanning light source type. Based on the device model in the device information, dynamically load matching device parameters from the preset configuration file; For example, if the device model is identified as a cost-reduced CIS model (DPM910H101), the effective pixel width parameter in subsequent image processing will be automatically adjusted to 864 pixels, and dedicated cropping and black-and-white balance calibration parameters will be invoked to ensure optimal image quality on different hardware platforms.

[0020] 102. Obtain a multispectral image by scanning the check to be authenticated using a multispectral ticket scanning device, record the device status data during the scanning process of the multispectral ticket scanning device, and preprocess the multispectral image. In this embodiment, after the multispectral ticket scanning device is in normal working order, a scanning command is initiated through the driver interface (such as DPM_SP_Scan). The multispectral ticket scanning device sequentially activates reflective RGB, reflective infrared (IR), reflective ultraviolet (UV), transmitted infrared (IRtr), and transmitted ultraviolet (UVtr) light sources to scan the front and back of the check to be authenticated, obtaining multiple images of different spectra, which are used as multispectral images. The multispectral images include reflective color images, reflective infrared images, reflective ultraviolet images, transmitted infrared images, and transmitted ultraviolet images. Record the device status data during the scanning process of the multispectral ticket scanning device for counterfeit detection. The device status data consists of data from multiple types of sensors on the multispectral ticket scanning device. Preprocessing of multispectral images, including image registration, real-time bias correction, normalization, and enhancement; Image registration: Since images of different spectra may have slight positional shifts, a feature point-based registration algorithm is used to align all images to the reflectance color image coordinate system; Real-time correction: Read the status value of the detection sensor returned by the firmware in real time; if the check to be counterfeited is seriously deviated (such as exceeding the 5% tolerance), the driver layer's rejection instruction (DPM_SP_Eject) is immediately called to eject the check to be counterfeited and prompt the user to reinsert it; if the deviation is within the tolerance, the software affine transformation algorithm is used for image correction. Normalization and Enhancement: Grayscale and normalization are performed on each spectral image, and the brightness of the image is adaptively enhanced according to the configuration parameters to improve the stability of subsequent feature extraction.

[0021] 103. Input the preprocessed multispectral image into the preset image fusion model, and output the feature-enhanced image. The feature-enhanced image is fused with multiple anti-counterfeiting information. The purpose of the pre-built image fusion model is to fuse multiple images of the same check with different spectra into a single image. During the fusion process, various anti-counterfeiting information is also concentrated in the image as a feature enhancement image.

[0022] 104. Based on the feature-enhanced image, multi-dimensional anti-counterfeiting features are extracted, and the device status data is analyzed to obtain the anti-counterfeiting results; The specific authentication process is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the steps are as follows: 201. Based on feature-enhanced images, multi-dimensional anti-counterfeiting features are extracted using fiber feature detection technology, microtext detection technology, and ink and printing feature analysis technology, respectively, to obtain fiber features, microtext features, and ink and printing features. Fiber feature detection technology mainly involves analyzing ultraviolet fluorescence images to extract the location, quantity, size, and color characteristics of colored fibers on a check. Microtext detection technology mainly analyzes high-resolution reflective images to locate and identify microtext features such as "BANK" and "OF" on checks; Ink and printing feature analysis technology mainly utilizes the differences between infrared transmission and reflection images to analyze the ink characteristics (e.g., infrared absorption) of specific areas on a check; and uses ultraviolet images to detect fluorescent reaction areas.

[0023] 202. Match the fiber characteristics with the standard fiber characteristics of the genuine check template to obtain the fiber confidence level; 203. Verify the existence and correctness of the microtext features to obtain the microtext confidence score; 204. The ink properties of the ink printing characteristics are analyzed to obtain the ink printing confidence level; 205. Based on the confidence levels of fiber filaments, microtext, and ink printing, a weighted fusion with preset weights is performed to obtain the counterfeit detection confidence level. Specifically, the confidence level for counterfeit detection The expression is: ; in, 1 represents the confidence level of the fiber filament. For microtext confidence, For ink printing confidence level, , and These are preset weights; 206. Determine if there are any equipment malfunctions based on the equipment status data; Analyze the equipment status data. If abnormal states such as "open cover", "ticket box full" or "motor error" are detected, it is determined that there is an equipment abnormality and proceed to step 208; if there is no equipment abnormality, proceed to step 207. 207. The confidence level of the authentication is used as the authentication result; Confidence level for counterfeit detection It is directly used as the result of authentication; 208. Based on the anomaly level of the equipment anomaly, the confidence level is reduced. The confidence level is then multiplied by the confidence level to obtain the authentication result.

[0024] Different anomaly levels are set for equipment malfunctions. Generally, the greater the impact of equipment malfunction on counterfeit detection, the higher the anomaly level; the smaller the impact of equipment malfunction on counterfeit detection, the lower the anomaly level. The higher the anomaly level, the higher the set signal reduction parameter. The smaller the value, the lower the anomaly level, and the lower the set signal reduction parameter. The larger the value of ; ; Authentication results .

[0025] 105. Locate and extract the ticket number region in the reflected color image to obtain the ticket number image; Locate and crop the serial number area of ​​the check to be authenticated from the reflected color image to obtain the serial number image.

[0026] 106. An adaptive OCR engine is used to recognize the ticket number image to obtain the ticket number recognition result.

[0027] The specific process of adaptive OCR recognition is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the steps include: 301. An adaptive OCR engine is used to recognize the ticket number image, obtaining the initial recognition result and the corresponding ticket number confidence level. ; 302. Determine whether the confidence level of the ticket number falls within the high confidence interval, medium confidence interval, or low confidence interval. Pre-set high-confidence intervals, medium-confidence intervals, or low-confidence intervals. The high-confidence interval is based on a high-confidence threshold. Division, The specific value can be 0.95; the medium confidence interval is based on... and Division, The value can be 0.7; less than or equal to The interval is considered low confidence. like If so, proceed to step 303; if If so, proceed to step 304; Then proceed to step 305; 303, use the initial recognition result as the ticket number recognition result; 304. After verifying or correcting the initial identification results using multispectral assistance, the ticket number identification result is obtained. Multispectral-assisted discrimination specifically involves extracting features of the same ticket number area under infrared and ultraviolet images. For example, under infrared images, handwritten handwriting may disappear while printed text remains. This characteristic can be used to verify or correct the initial recognition result. After verification or correction, the ticket number recognition result is obtained. 305, query device error code; Retrieve the last device error code returned by the driver layer.

[0028] 306, determine whether the problem is related to image quality based on the device error code; Different device error codes can uniquely point to a specific device problem. For example, device error code "0x7F32" points to "uneven brightness of scanned image", which means there is an image quality problem. If it is an image quality problem, proceed to step 307; if it is not an image quality error, proceed to step 308. 307 triggers the hardware retry mechanism; Hardware retry mechanism: Call the return instruction to eject the check to be authenticated and prompt the user "Image is unclear, please reinsert"; 308. The initial recognition result is determined to be a recognition failure result, and the recognition failure result is used as the ticket number recognition result.

[0029] After outputting the failure results, it is also necessary to log them and prompt for manual intervention.

[0030] The beneficial effects achieved by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: The process involves acquiring equipment information for a multispectral ticket scanning device and loading corresponding equipment parameters. The device scans the check to be authenticated to obtain a multispectral image, recording its status data during the scanning process. The multispectral image is then preprocessed, including reflected color, reflected infrared, reflected ultraviolet, transmitted infrared, and transmitted ultraviolet images. This preprocessed image is input into a pre-defined image fusion model, which outputs a feature-enhanced image. This feature-enhanced image incorporates various anti-counterfeiting information. Multi-dimensional authentication features are extracted based on the feature-enhanced image, and the authentication result is obtained by analyzing the combined equipment status data. The ticket number region in the reflected color image is located and extracted to obtain the ticket number image. An adaptive OCR engine is used to recognize the ticket number image, yielding the ticket number recognition result. This integrated multi-feature authentication and recognition process improves the accuracy of check authentication and the robustness of ticket number recognition. In the process of multi-feature counterfeit detection, the impact of equipment malfunctions on the detection results is considered by combining equipment status data, which further improves the accuracy of check counterfeit detection. In the adaptive OCR recognition process, it can not only use multispectral images to assist in the discrimination of medium confidence intervals, but also link with the retry mechanism of the device at the underlying level for low confidence intervals. When faced with dirty or wrinkled checks, it can actively trigger a rescan, thereby improving the success rate of check number recognition.
