III. METHODOLOGY
A) Image Acquisition:
When the banknotes are placed upon the system tray, an
optical sensor issues an interrupt to the system notifying
the banknotes arrival. The system then draws the note
with its first roller. When the note moves inside the
system, it slides on a long and slender CCD sensor array.
The sensor array is one dimensional, and it can take the
image of a single line of the note at any particular
instance. But when the entire note slides on the sensor, the
complete image of the note is grabbed.
I. INTRODUCTION
Automatic banknotes recognition and sorting systems
have become mandatory in the current fast going world. In
the banks where a large transaction of money is an
everyday reality, the officials find it tedious to count and
sort the notes manually.
This paper presents a real-time machine vision based
algorithm for recognizing and sorting the Bangladeshi
banknotes. The algorithm is implemented and dumped in a
banknotes sorting system, in which the notes are placed
upon a feeding tray and the system draws them one by one
and grabs the images of a specific side of the banknotes
with a CCD sensor. The images are then analyzed with a
microcontroller, LPC-H2106, where the implementation
of this algorithm is housed. The image analysis and
recognition is performed in real time and the notes are
dispatched to two different terminal pockets according to
their denominations, orientations and side.
II. BACKGROUND
Number of researches have been conducted throughout
the world for paper currency identification, sorting and
recognizing the counterfeit notes. William J. Jones et al
[1] developed an automatic currency processing system
that uses the digital signal processing method for
identifying the denomination of the notes. Danek and

V. CONCLUSION
The automatic banknotes recognition and sorting
systems are used allover the developed countries of the
world. But in Bangladesh it is not available yet. However,
in order to make the monetary transactions more dynamic
such systems capable to recognize and sort the
Bangladeshi banknotes must be introduced in the banking
sectors and different business centers properly. This
research is probably the first attempt to develop machine
vision based practical banknotes manipulation systems in
Bangladesh. The primary results shown in this paper are
certainly promising. Nevertheless the authors believe that
there is still a long way to go to make the methods more
accurate, fast and efficient.
