Central component in the permanent identification and traceability of coins is the underlying classification and identification technology. The first step of a computer aided system is the segmentation of the coin in the image. Next, a feature extraction process measures the coin in order to describe the coin unambiguously. In this paper, we focus on the segmentation task, followed by a comparison of features relevant for coin classification.
