Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a worn banknote identification method and an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) using the same, and more particularly, to a worn banknote identification method which acquires an image of a banknote inserted into an ATM, divides pixels of the acquired banknote image into a bright region and dark region depending on a brightness distribution of the banknote image, determines the wear level of the banknote by comparing a difference between the average brightness values of the two regions to a preset reference value, and separately stores the inserted banknote into a reject box depending on the wear level of the banknote, and an ATM using the same.
