Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for recognizing media and a financial device. The apparatus for recognizing media according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: an image sensor; a skew detector configured to detect skew of the media from media image acquired by the image sensor; a noise detector configured to detect a linear component in a region of interest which include character of the media image and a noise included in the media image based on direction information of the detected linear component and the skew of the media; and a controller configured to remove the detected noise from the region of interest and recognize the character of the region of interest from which the noise is removed.

Abstract: A character recognition method for recognizing a character of a medium is provided. A character image of an individual character from a medium is acquired and the character image is read out step by step to determine the character according to a hierarchical structure in which a set of predetermined characters are hierarchically classified into a plurality of groups configured of main groups and sub groups.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for recognizing media and a financial device. The apparatus for recognizing media according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an image sensor configured to emit different first light source and second light source to media including at least one character to acquire a first image and a second image corresponding to each light source; a noise detector configured to detect noise of a region in which the character is included from the first image and the second image; and a controller configured to combine the first image and the second image depending on the detected noise information to recognize the character included in the media.
