Device for recognizing authentic documents using optical modulas
First Claim
1. A device for authenticating documents comprisinga reading head for optically scanning a document, said reading head including at least two substantially identical modules each of which is provided with a line of photosensors, and means for determining the spectral sensitivity of said modules,evaluation means for correlating signals provided by, said photosensors when said photosensors are illuminated with light from a light source with prestored values,conveying means for providing relative movement between said reading head and said documents, andsorting means controlled by said evaluation means in accordance with a correlation value.

Abstract
A recognition device for authenticating documents is disclosed. The recognition device comprises a reading head for optically scanning the documents. The reading head includes at least two modules of substantially identical construction, each of which is provided with a line of photosensors. The reading head also includes means for determining the spectral sensitivity of the modules. The recognition device also includes a conveying system for providing relative movement between the reading head and the documents being scanned. An evaluation means correlates signals provided by the photosensors with prestored values to control a sorter which sorts the documents based on their authenticity or falsehood.
