Abstract
A method and apparatus that validates a hologram by scanning the hologram at multiple angles is disclosed. The method may include scanning a document containing the hologram at a first angle to create a first image, scanning the document containing the hologram at a second angle to create a second image, determining whether the hologram is valid, and sending the validity determination to a user interface for display to a user.
Claims20
A method for validating a hologram by scanning the hologram at multiple angles, comprising:
- scanning a document containing the hologram at a first angle to create a first image;
- scanning the document containing the hologram at a second angle to create a second image;
- determining whether the hologram is valid;
- and
- sending the validity determination to a user interface for display to a user.
An apparatus that validates a hologram by scanning the hologram at multiple angles, comprising:
- a scanner that scans a document containing the hologram at a first angle to create a first image, and scans the document containing the hologram at a second angle to create a second image;
- and
- a holographic adjudication module that determines whether the hologram is valid and sends the validity determination to a user interface for display to a user.
A computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling a computing device for validating a hologram by scanning the hologram at multiple angles, the instructions comprising:
- scanning a document containing the hologram at a first angle to create a first image;
- scanning the document containing the hologram at a second angle to create a second image;
- determining whether the hologram is valid;
- and
- sending the validity determination to a user interface for display to a user.
