Multifeed detection device for sheets
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240029497A1) describes a multifeed detection device and method. The device includes a light source that irradiates a sheet with light, a light receiver that receives transmission and reflection light, and a controller that analyzes the output data from the light receiver to determine if a multifeed of sheets has occurred. The device uses transmission image data and reflection image data from multiple light receiving pixels to make this determination, with the controller assessing each unit pixel to identify a potential multifeed event.
Furthermore, the device incorporates a recognition function based on machine-learned data from one-sheet and two-sheet scenarios to enhance the accuracy of multifeed detection. The recognition function utilizes the average and standard deviation of output value distribution to determine if a multifeed has occurred, with a coefficient factor influencing the decision-making process. Additionally, the method outlined in the patent involves acquiring transmission and reflection output data from the light receiver and using this data to determine the occurrence of a multifeed event. By leveraging the unique capabilities of the device and method, users can effectively detect and prevent multifeed issues in sheet processing systems.
