Abstract

This research proposes a new system for calculating the total amount of coins in an image. The proposed system identified and classified the coins in the image in realtime. The image was obtained using a USB camera. Most previous coin calculation systems only used size information. If the size of an object was incorrectly detected, it caused a misclassification. Especially, in case of the former 10 won, it had high error rate because it was similar in size to the 50 won and 100 won coin. The proposed system combines hue histogram information with size information to reduce errors in the classification process. When we only used size information in the classification experiment of 2,290 coins, the recognition rate was on average about 88.2%. When we combined hue information with size information the recognition rate increased to about 99.3%.

영상 내 동전들의 금액 합계를 계산하는 새로운 동전 계산 시스템이 제안되었다. 제안된 시스템은 USB 카메라를 이용하여 획득한 영상에서 실시간으로 동전을 종류별로 식별하고, 분류한다. 기존의 동전 계산 시스템들은 대부분 크기 정보만을 이용하며, 객체의 크기 인식이 잘못되면 오분류가 발생한다. 특히, 구 10원은 50원이나 100원 동전과 크기가 비슷해서 오류가 날 확률이 높다. 따라서 제안한 기법은 크기 정보와 더불어 색상 히스토그램을 활용하여 동전 분류 과정에서 오류를 감소할 수 있다. 전체 2,290개의 동전 객체를 분류한 실험 결과에서, 크기 정보만을 이용하였을 때는, 평균 약 88.2%의 인식률을 보였다. 반면, 크기 정보와 색상 히스토그램을 이용하였을 때에는 인식률이 평균 약 99.3%를 나타내었다.
