Abstract

Mechanical counters are still very popular for their protection against manipulation and low costs. In the past automatic readout of mechanical counters required complex and expensive image processing methods. The system proposed in this paper is a cheaper alternative which does not require modifications to the mechanics of the counter. The proposed system makes use of different light reflectivity parameters of the numbers shown on the number wheels. In this paper the different approaches are shown and analyzed.
