Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A system for automatically determining the quality of various types of printed images uses either a single element optical sensor or a multi-element sensor which may include one or more of an optical magnetic, thermal or acoustic transducer. A microprocessor is used to store a standard set of images in its memory and automatically compares the printed images on a background material with the standard images. The microprocessor then causes the system to produce a result of said comparison. The system has various uses but is particularly useful in the banking business to process cheques.
