    摘要: A database enrolment system for enrolling an unauthorised person in a database of authorised persons is provided. The system comprises: a camera for imaging a field of view, and a processing unit in communication with the database of authorised persons. The database contains information relating to the faces of authorised persons. The processing unit comprises a face recognition subsystem and is configured to perform an enrolment routine for enrolling an unauthorised person in the database. The enrolment routine comprises: detecting an initialisation scene, detecting a subsequent confirmation scene, and when the initialisation scene and the confirmation scene are detected, transmitting enrolment information relating to the face of the unauthorised person to the database for enrolment as an authorised person. Detecting initialisation scene includes: using the face recognition subsystem to detect the face of an authorised person in the field of view and to detect the face of an unauthorised person in the field of view, wherein the face of the authorised person is detected on a first side of the face of the unauthorised person in the field of view. Detecting the subsequent confirmation scene includes: using the face recognition subsystem to detect the face of the authorised person and the face of the unauthorised person in the field of view, wherein the face of the authorised person is detected on a second side of the face of the unauthorised person in the field of view.

    摘要: A banknote storage container (1) comprising a housing (2) enclosing an internal banknote receiving compartment (8), said housing (2) including a banknote input aperture (3) in communication with a banknote receiving compartment ingress opening (3′); the banknote receiving compartment (8) includes a pair of pivotable bascule members (4, 5), said bascule members (4, 5) disposed in opposing lateral positions within the banknote receiving compartment, and each of said pair of bascule members (4, 5) includes a gate element (16) disposed at an end of the bascule member proximal to the ingress opening (3′) and a banknote contact portion (15) at an end of the bascule member distal from the ingress opening (3′); and the banknote contact portion (15) of each of said bascule members (4, 5) protrudes into the banknote receiving compartment (8) such that when a leading edge of a banknote received into said banknote receiving compartment (8) simultaneously comes into contact with the banknote contact portion (15) of each of said bascule members (4, 5), the bascule members pivot from an ingress opening open position to an ingress opening closed position where the gate element (16) of each of said bascule members obstructs the ingress opening (3′) to prevent ingress of a subsequent banknote or retrieval of the received banknote from without the banknote storage container.

    摘要: An imaging system comprising: a pair of cameras (2, 3) adapted to capture images in the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum; a camera (4) adapted to capture images in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum; a near-infrared light source (5); and a controller (6). The system configured to obtain a plurality images of the face of an individual and, from a local binary pattern distribution of image pixels, determine the age of the individual in each of the images by applying a linear regression technique and computing an average.

    摘要: A banknote feeder device (3) configured to interconnect and operate in conjunction with a banknote acceptor apparatus (2), the banknote feeder device (3) comprising a banknote transport mechanism operable, when the banknote feeder device (3) is connected to the banknote acceptor apparatus (2), to transport a banknote from a banknote input aperture to a banknote output aperture. The banknote transport mechanism comprises a linear succession of spaced-apart pairs of transport wheels (22) and each transport wheel extends at least partially through a banknote transport conduit surface into an interior cavity of the banknote transport conduit between the banknote input aperture and the banknote output aperture.

    摘要: A method of entering a facial image of an individual into a database of recognised and authorised individuals, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, from an image capture device connected to a database processing device, an image of a scene; determining whether the image of the scene contains a facial image of a recognised and authorised first individual; determining whether the image of the scene contains a facial image of a second individual and, if the image of the scene contains a facial image of a second individual, determine if the second individual is a recognised and authorised individual; if the second individual is not a recognised and authorised individual, determine whether the image of the scene includes a security gesture by the recognised and authorised first individual; and entering the facial image of the second individual to the database of recognised and authorised individuals if the image of the scene includes the security gesture by the recognised and authorised first individual.
