Abstract
A system and method for authenticating an image of an object, include at least one identifier associated with the object, a receiver for interrogating the at least one identifier to produce identification information, a camera system for recording an image from the object including the at least one identifier, and a composite generator for encoding the identification information from the receiver along with the image acquired by the camera system, to produce composite data.
Claims68
A system comprising:
- at least one identifier associated with the object;
- a receiver for interrogating said at least one identifier to produce identification information;
- a camera system for recording a first image from the object in a first state including said at least one identifier;
- a composite generator for encoding said identification information from said receiver, as encoded data, along with said first image acquired by said camera system, and generating a first set of composite data;
- a camera system for recording a second image from the object in a second state including said at least one identifier;
- and
- a composite generator for encoding said identification information from said receiver, as encoded data, along with said second image acquired by said camera system, and generating a second set of composite data.
A method of authenticating an object, comprising:
- associating at least one identifier with the object;
- interrogating said at least one identifier to generate identification information;
- recording a first image from the object in a first state including the at least one identifier;
- and
- encoding said identification information, based on said interrogating said at least one identifier, along with said first image recorded, to generate a first set of composite data;
- recording a second image from the object in a second state including the at least one identifier;
- and
- encoding said identification information, based on said interrogating said at least one identifier, along with said second image recorded, to generate a second set of composite data.
A method of authenticating an object, comprising:
- simultaneously extracting at least two kinds of information associated with said object in a first state;
- simultaneously, with said extracting, jointly encrypting said at least two kinds of information;
- and
- decrypting said at least two kinds of information, to verify authenticity of said object in a first state;
- simultaneously extracting at least two kinds of information associated with said object in a second state;
- simultaneously, with said extracting, jointly encrypting said at least two kinds of information;
- and
- decrypting said at least two kinds of information, to verify authenticity of said object in a second state.
