Abstract
A system for computerized authentication of a laminated object, the system comprising a digital medium storing a digital image of at least a portion of the laminated object in a computer-implemented memory; a shininess analyzer operative, using a processor, to generate shininess data quantifying shininess of the digital image; and a parameterized computerized authentication sub-system operative to differentially perform at least one laminated object authentication operation based on the shininess data.
Claims10
A method for computerized authentication of a laminated object, the method comprising:
- generating shininess data quantifying shininess of a digital image of at least a portion of the laminated object stored in a computer-implemented memory;
- and
- differentially performing at least one laminated object authentication operation based on said shininess data including using an electronic output device for generating output/s characterizing said image of said at least portion of the laminated object;
- wherein said authentication operation comprises
- authenticating a flow of laminated objects image based on information derived from fields of interest of known location within digital images representing said objects, according to at least one pre-defined parameter governing handling of each of said fields,
- and wherein said differentially performing includes adjusting said pre-defined parameter for each individual instance within said flow to reflect
- a lower level of confidence in information derived from an individual field to the extent that the individual field is found by said generating to be shiny,
- and a higher level of confidence in information derived from that individual field, to the extent that the individual field is found by said generating not to be shiny.
A system for computerized authentication of a laminated object, the system comprising:
- a shininess analyzer operative, using a processor, to generate shininess data quantifying shininess of a digital image of at least a portion of the laminated object stored in a computer-implemented memory;
- and
- a parameterized computerized authentication processor, operative to differentially perform at least one laminated object authentication operation based on said shininess data including using an electronic output device for generating output/s characterizing said image of said at least portion of the laminated object,
- wherein said authentication operation comprises authenticating a flow of laminated objects based on information derived from fields of interest of known location within digital images representing said objects, according to at least one pre-defined parameter governing handling of each of said fields, and wherein said authentication processor is operative to differentially perform said authenticating by adjusting said pre-defined parameter for each individual instance within said flow to reflect a lower level of confidence in information derived from an individual field to the extent that the individual field is found by said shininess analyzer to be shiny, and a higher level of confidence in information derived from that individual field, to the extent that the individual field is found by said shininess analyzer not to be shiny.
A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for computerized authentication of a laminated object, the method comprising:
- generating shininess data quantifying shininess of a digital image of at least a portion of the laminated object stored in a computer-implemented memory;
- and
- differentially performing at least one laminated object authentication operation based on said shininess data including using an electronic output device for generating output/s characterizing said image of said at least portion of the laminated object,
- wherein said authentication operation comprises authenticating a flow of laminated objects based on information derived from fields of interest of known location within digital images representing said objects, according to at least one pre-defined parameter governing handling of each of said fields,
- and wherein said differentially performing includes adjusting said pre-defined parameter for each individual instance within said flow to reflect
- a lower level of confidence in information derived from an individual field to the extent that the individual field is found by said generating to be shiny,
- and a higher level of confidence in information derived from that individual field, to the extent that the individual field is found by said generating not to be shiny.
