Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010072732A1] The invention relates to a device and to a method for examining the physical condition of a value document. The value document is illuminated with illumination light and the intensity of the light reflected from the value document is detected using an image sensor so that an image of the value document can be recorded. An image section of the recorded image, said section depicting an opaque, reflecting section of the value document, is selected. The selected image section is examined for indications of creases which could possibly be present in the opaque, reflecting section of the value document. The results of the investigation for creases are used to evaluate the physical condition of the value document.
