Banknote simulator for aging and soiling banknotes using Gaussian models and Perlin noise

作者：

Highlights：

• A banknote aging simulator for generating aged banknotes from new ones is proposed.

• The proposed simulator allows ATMs to better handle aged and soiled banknotes.

• With the artificially aged banknote images, classification score improved by 27%.

• The proposed algorithm can substantially reduce maintenance costs.
