Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016062409A1] The invention relates to an apparatus, a corresponding method and a value document handling system (1) for checking value documents (3), particularly banknotes, having at least two radiation sources (24, 25) for emitting electromagnetic radiation that is used to irradiate a value document (3), at least one sensor (21 – 23) for detecting the electromagnetic radiation coming from the value document (3), particularly reflected and/or transmitted by the value document (3), and producing corresponding sensor signals, and also an evaluation device (51) that is designed to derive corrected sensor signals from the sensor signals by taking account of at least one spectral property of the electromagnetic radiation from the at least two radiation sources (24, 25). The sensor signals corrected in this manner reproduce the actual reflection and transmission behaviour of the value document much more accurately than the uncorrected sensor signals. In particular, this involves elimination or at least reduction of interfering remission or transmission artefacts that can be attributed to what are known as stray emissions from the radiation sources (24, 25), particularly LEDs.
