Abstract
A first series of images of a first fluid is received. A first set of fluid characteristics of the first fluid is determined from the first series of images. A second series of images of a second fluid is received. A second set of fluid characteristics of the second fluid is determined from the second series of images. A match is determined to be found between the first set of fluid characteristics and the second set of fluid characteristics. The second fluid is identified based upon determining that the first set of fluid characteristics matches the second set of fluid characteristics.
Claims20
A method for verifying an authenticity of a fluid, comprising:
- receiving a first image of a first fluid;
- determining a first fluid characteristic of the first fluid from the first image;
- receiving a second image of a second fluid;
- determining a second fluid characteristic of the second fluid from the second image;
- and
- identifying the second fluid responsive to determining that the first fluid characteristic matches the second fluid characteristic.
A computer usable program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a first image of a first fluid;
- program instructions to determine a first fluid characteristic of the first fluid from the first image;
- program instructions to receive a second image of a second fluid;
- program instructions to determine a second fluid characteristic of the second fluid from the second image;
- and
- program instructions to identify the second fluid responsive to program instructions to determine that the first fluid characteristic matches the second fluid characteristic.
A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a first image of a first fluid;
- program instructions to determine a first fluid characteristic of the first fluid from the first image;
- program instructions to receive a second image of a second fluid;
- program instructions to determine a second fluid characteristic of the second fluid from the second image;
- and
- program instructions to identify the second fluid responsive to program instructions to determine that the first fluid characteristic matches the second fluid characteristic.
