Abstract: Recognizing magnetic ink characters in an automated teller machine and, more particularly, recognizing magnetic ink characters in an automated teller machine. Results of optical character recognition (OCR) are compared based on an image acquired through a contact image sensor (CIS) provided in an authentication unit and character-based waveforms of magnetic ink characters acquired through an MR sensor. Whether a bill is legitimate is authenticated, and thus correct reading of magnetic ink characters printed on a check is realized. The structure of the authentication unit can be simplified so that correct recognition of the magnetic ink characters printed on the check in a normal automated teller machine is supported without a high-resolution MICR sensor, and the cost of manufacturing the automated teller machine can be effectively reduced.

Abstract: An autonomous controller for lateral motion includes a vehicle positioning module that calculates a lateral departure degree from the center of a virtual line after a line is lost using position information of a vehicle. The position information is derived by data obtained from the vehicle which is traveling. The controller also includes a driving route determination module that determines the virtual line connecting waypoints previously generated on a map for a section where the line is lost to connect an old line with a new line. A lateral control module then performs lateral autonomous control of the vehicle in a direction where the lateral departure degree is minimized to cause the vehicle to follow a driving route connecting waypoints set on the virtual line to travel.
