Print-to-edge registration application for banknotes

Spatial transforms and fuzzy pattern classification with unimodal potential functions are established in signal processing. They have proved to be excellent tools in feature extraction and classification. In this paper we present a concept on an image processing and classification scheme for a print-to-edge registration application. The application describes the position detection of objects in banknotes. The scheme is straightforward and therefore well suited for industrial applications. Furthermore, it can be applied to other applications. An implementation on one field programmable gate array (FPGA) will be proposed.
