Patent number: 11521451Abstract: A method is provided for detecting a security thread in a value document, in which magnetic data are employed for sites on the value document. The magnetic data represents a magnetic property of the value document at the site, check sites on the value document are determined employing the sites, and from the check sites, a straight line is specified, along or on which at least some of the check sites lie and which represents a location of the security thread.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT CURRENCY TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Johannes Feulner, Steffen Schmalz

Patent number: 10573113Abstract: An apparatus and a corresponding method for checking value documents, involves at least one first sensor configured to detect electromagnetic radiation reflected and/or transmitted by a value document and to convert the radiation into corresponding first sensor signals. At least one second sensor is configured to detect sound waves reflected and/or transmitted by the value document and to convert the sound waves into corresponding second sensor signals, and an evaluation device configured to determine a first area value which characterizes a first area of the value document on the basis of the first sensor signals, to determine a second area value which characterizes a second area of the value document on the basis of the second sensor signals, and to infer a possible identification marking of the value document with a marking ink on the basis of the first and second area value.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT CURRENCY TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Hendrik Derks, Jan Domke, Johannes Feulner, Norbert Holl, Steffen Schmalz, Dieter Stein, Stefan Kokrhoun

Patent number: 10049522Abstract: A means and method for checking a value document of at least one irregularity of at least one specified type, in which an ultrasound data record is captured which describes in locally resolved fashion at least one ultrasound property, a deviation data record is ascertained which describes in locally resolved fashion a deviation between the ultrasound data record and a model and is ascertained such that the deviation described thereby is minimal with respect to the model. The model comprises a model for the location dependence of the at least one ultrasound property of reference value documents of the specified value document type without irregularities of the at least one specified type, and using the deviation data record, it is checked whether an indication of an irregularity of the at least one type is present on the value document.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2014Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT CURRENCY TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Johannes Feulner, Jan Domke

Patent number: 9785858Abstract: A method and apparatus for hierarchical parsing and semantic navigation of a full or partial body computed tomography CT scan is disclosed. In particular, organs are segmented and anatomic landmarks are detected in a full or partial body CT volume. One or more predetermined slices of the CT volume are detected. A plurality of anatomic landmarks and organ centers are then detected in the CT volume using a discriminative anatomical network, each detected in a portion of the CT volume constrained by at least one of the detected slices. A plurality of organs, such as heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, and prostate, are detected in a sense of a bounding box and segmented in the CT volume, detection of each organ bounding box constrained by the detected organ centers and anatomic landmarks. Organ segmentation is via a database-guided segmentation method.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2009Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Siemens Healthcare GmbHInventors: Sascha Seifert, Adrian Barbu, Shaohua Kevin Zhou, David Liu, Johannes Feulner, Martin Huber, Michael Suehling, Alexander Cavallaro, Dorin Comaniciu

Patent number: 9582953Abstract: A method is described for checking a value document, wherein measuring values of the value document are detected in spatially resolved fashion. The measuring value detected in the respective measuring point is allocated to a node corresponding to this measuring point, and a two-dimensional network of nodes is formed therefrom. A network is formed from the two-dimensional network of the nodes and a source node and a sink node. By means of the maximally possible flow through the network, the value document is classified as suspected of forgery or not suspected of forgery. The maximally possible flow through the network is a measure for the degree of probability of the value document having a continuous object along a direction transverse to the direction of the network, said object indicating a manipulation of the value document, such as e.g. an adhesive strip or a separating line of a composed forgery.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: GIESECKE & DEVRIENT GMBHInventors: Johannes Feulner, Jan Domke, Norbert Holl

Patent number: 8407267Abstract: An apparatus, method, system and computer-readable medium store and manage image data with automatic labeling of image data corresponding to body slices, such as obtained by a computed tomography scanner. The labels include a body coordinate value along the body axis. The respective body coordinate value can be determined by comparing received image data sets with reference data sets with known attached coordinate values utilizing pattern recognition techniques. Applications include medical image data management in hospitals or operating and providing medical networks. Queries for images that include particular body regions are processed more efficiently. This results in less local memory required and narrower bandwidth resources of transmission networks.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Johannes Feulner, Shaohua Kevin Zhou
