Make the personalized method and apparatus of file blank using image
Technical field
The present invention relates to one kind makes the personalized method of file blank using image, for being set up by means of irradiation devices File, and be related to one kind and be used for making the personalized device of file blank.
Background technology
It is known in the art that various for making the personalized method of file blank.For this reason, for example file can be held The image of someone, such as portrait are applied on this document.In order to be applied to image on one file, laser intaglio plate technology is to prove Feasible.Here, in file blank, colored pixels are bombarded using laser by sensitive material and are produced.Here, photosensitive In material, generating material conversion, thus can produce each picture point on the rum point of laser.Here, for example can scan first One image, wherein, followed by each laser pulse by each pixel transmission of image to described file.For this reason, it is permissible For example apply Polycarbonate Layer or polrvinyl chloride on file, mix substantially by carbon to Polycarbonate Layer or polrvinyl chloride The additive that chain is made.If this layer to bombard now with laser pulse, each strand can rupture and discharge carbon.This Show as the melanism of the layer in the regional extent meeting with laser pulse.Here, the gray level producing generally depends on pulse energy Amount.
Generally, image progressive or be applied on a file by laser intaglio plate by hurdle.Here, can be on a line or hurdle There is strong brightness fluctuation between adjacent pixels in inside.For producing the laser of pixel it means that from pixel to picture Element must greatly change the pulse energy being output.This for example can lead to produce in the case of the optical fiber laser of low cost The profile of image smear, because laser system will not be followed by with required pulse energy during a line of cutting blocks for printing soon Speed jump.
Known solution for this problem is for example, or being had using expensive solid laser system or use The lossy fiber ring laser system of strong band of the quality switches being followed by, they can provide can fast-changing pulse energy , or slowing down imaging process, thus there is time enough for the arteries and veins required for being correctly adjusted to laser system in amount Rush on energy.The solution being firstly mentioned means significantly raise for the cost of laser rotogravure device, and is subsequently noted Section 2 solution then cause the notable prolongation of imaging session time.
Content of the invention
Accordingly, there exist the demand making the personalized method of file blank using image, this demand is in process duration It is further characterized in that outside few, a kind of device also executing the method using cost laser system, this laser system can be formed There is slow energy switching.
This purpose is solved by the feature of independent claims respectively.Embodiments of the present invention are in dependent claims In be given.If there is no clearly contrary expression, then embodiments of the present invention can freely be bonded to each other.
" file " can be high value file or Security document.According to the present invention, file should be understood based on paper And/or the file based on synthetic material, such as documentary evidence, particularly travelling passport, identity document, visa and driving are held According to, driving license, automobile dispatch from the factory card, company prove, health card or other ID files, and also include chip card, pay medium, Particularly bank note, bank card and the credit card, waybill or other rights prove.According to embodiment, for storage at least The data storage of attribute is desirably integrated in these files.
" file " here particularly should also be understood to portable electronic device, its have at least one for storage genus Property data storage and for reading the communication interface of attribute.Preferably, file have protected for storage at least one The memory area of attribute, for preventing the attribute being stored in memory area to be changed in the way of not allowing or not having Read in the case of promising right needed for this.
On the one hand, the present invention relates to a kind of be used for making the personalized method of file blank using image, for borrowing Irradiation devices are helped to set up file.Here, file blank has photosensitive layer, this photosensitive layer is configured to adding using electromagnetic irradiation Carry photosensitive layer when, change photosensitive layer can optical detection at least one parameter.Here, for example can be related to entering using laser When row loads, the melanism of photosensitive layer or brightness.In the case, the change of parameter, i.e. for example brightness or melanism with logical Cross the energy that electromagnetic irradiation is added in photosensitive layer proportional.
Electromagnetic irradiation is provided by irradiation devices, and wherein, the intensity of the irradiation being provided by irradiation devices is adjustable 's.Here, the adjustment of irradiation intensity can infinitely or with regularly limited multiple step be carried out.
In the first step in the method, provide monochromatic original image.Original image can be for example that file after a while is held The portrait of people, or icon or other identification features.In addition to providing and being monochromatic original image, according to the present invention Can also be by the original image monochromatization of polychrome first in a preposition method and step.Here should be understood that the concept of " monochromatic " May mean that in this case, monochromatic original image only has a gray value, but or there is the difference of limited color Brightness value.For example, original image therefore can also be made up of the blue cast of various levels of brightness value.Here, it is permissible to a single picture point Attach troops to a unit the information content of a bit, this corresponds to 255 different brightness values.
In ensuing method and step, now the brightness value of monochromatic original image is reduced at least two intensity levels On.In the example of gray-scale picture, this process is known as gray level and reduces.
Here, attaching troops to a unit a unified brightness value to all brightness values within a limited interval.The method step Result be an original image being reduced, it only also comprises picture point as follows, and the brightness value of these picture points corresponds to this One of the unified brightness value of a little intensity levels unified brightness value.
In next method and step, the original image that this is reduced is divided into subimage, wherein, in these subimages Each subimage only has the picture point of same brightness.If for example have selected five intensity levels in method and step above, Here people also correspondingly obtain five subimages.
Next these single subimages are represented respectively completely imaged on file blank, and its mode is, using electromagnetism Irradiation carrys out the photosensitive layer of load document blank.Here, attaching troops to a unit one by electromagnetic irradiation photosensitive layer to be added to each intensity level Energy.Because each subimage only comprises the picture point of same brightness, the i.e. picture point of a single intensity level, therefore in imaging one During image, the photosensitive layer of file blank merely be attached to this subimage intensity level, energy to be added to load.
The advantage of previously described method can be, need not change irradiation devices during applying a single subimage Output.Therefore eliminate the waiting time typically requiring, these waiting time are discharged by irradiation devices by adjustment The energy of electromagnetic irradiation and produce.Meanwhile, in order to change the method according to the invention, it is possible to use only very slowly right The irradiation devices that the required change of the energy being discharged is reacted, this is because such adjustment only needs once, only exist Need before starting to be imaged a subimage.Next, whole subimage can utilize irradiation devices once and identical adjustment It is applied on file blank.
Meanwhile, can be avoided by the method according to the invention, jump to a neighbor from a pixel in intensity level When, because irradiation devices lead to film coating perfonnance to occur for the excessively slow reaction of the required change of output.Therefore, whole More visible picture can be produced in the case of using inexpensive irradiation devices by using the method according to the invention on body.
It should be noted here that being reduced it is not necessary to forcibly be related to being present in of an intensity level in the case of a subimage Whole original image in all picture points.For example, a subimage can also be by a line of the original image being reduced All picture point compositions of intensity level.In this case, irradiation devices when subimage is imaged repeatedly in turn through a picture OK, wherein, when once passing through this picture row, only apply a subimage, i.e. an intensity level picture point.
Preferred embodiment, irradiation devices can be lasing light emitter to one kind according to the present invention.Here, lasing light emitter preferably by It is configured to, this lasing light emitter can release energy limited laser pulse.For example, laser pulse can be that laser energy exists Between 0.01mJ and 1mJ and pulse width is from the light pulse of such as 3ns to 250ns.Here, such pulse has substantially The peak power of 10kW to 50kW.The wavelength of the light sending in the case must be adapted to the requirement of photosensitive layer.Generally, in laser In the case of gravure method, wavelength is proximate to ultrared, such as under 1064nm.In the lasing light emitter using pulsation, applied Plus each picture point of image then can load photosensitive layer to produce by using the limited laser pulse of energy.
Alternatively or additionally, it is applied on file blank according to which kind of sensitive material and limited it is also possible to substitute energy A fixed individual pulse, and so that multiple pulses of identical energy is redirect in a picture point.Here, the number of pulse and a single arteries and veins The product of the energy of punching must be adapted for the energy in the sensitive material to be introduced produce desired intensity level.If for example existed Determine and during intensity level, have selected 5 grades, then in order to the picture point producing the first intensity level needs a single laser pulse, and the 3rd In the case of one picture point of intensity level, then need three laser pulses, to obtain a picture point of desired intensity level.Here, swashing The output of light can keep constant under each pulse, is not dependent on intensity level to be generated.Merely have in different brightness In the case of level, different number of laser pulse is discharged in a picture point.Yet with sensitive material melanism in certain situation Under be not be added, be not that each absorbed laser pulse is uniformly increased, thus this point cannot be in all photosensitive materials Realize in material.
According to a kind of embodiment, lasing light emitter can be optical fiber laser, and it is for example put with the optical fiber being followed by by pulse source Big device composition.Such system is known as MOPA (MOPA) in the prior art.Using this When planting optical fiber laser, pump power can be kept during a subimage perfect imaging constant, fiber amplifier is pumped should Pump power.In order to produce the limited pixel of brightness on the point of the determination in image, then merely have to promote pulse Source discharges a single laser pulse.This laser pulse is then amplified to the power by keeping constant pump power to be limited Produce the limited pixel of brightness in level and when striking on photosensitive layer.Thus, permissible using this optical fiber laser Have the advantage that:Control and can be designed to be very simple for the device executing the method according to the invention, because During one subimage imaging, the fiber amplifier being used keeps not touching, and merely has to control pulse source and laser irradiation Orientation on file blank.
According to a kind of embodiment, described at least two intensity levels of the original image being reduced are for each figure to be applied As individually limiting or making identical for each image to select.Intensity level is made to be adapted to image to be applied, or multiple The decision keeping constant on image depends on image to be applied.If e.g. such a image, i.e. wherein each picture point Different brightness values equably may the whole of brightness value spectrally be distributed, then intensity level can be chosen as, to be applied The uniform amount of the picture point of image be distributed in described intensity level.If the e.g. image of 1000 picture points and selecting Select four intensity levels, then in this embodiment, the border of these intensity levels can be chosen as so that declining in each intensity level Enter 250 pixels.It is alternative in this place, intensity level can also be chosen as according to a kind of embodiment, each intensity level comprises phase Brightness value with number.As above having been carried out, a pixel for example can have 255 different brightness values (1 bit). If following this embodiment to limit four intensity levels, these intensity levels can be chosen as so that in each intensity level Including 64 or 63 brightness values.
When a number of intensity level for multiple images should be kept, limit two kinds of aforementioned probabilities of intensity level Then especially suitable.The process time for producing an image thus can be reduced, because need not for each image individually Carry out the determination of intensity level.
But can also carry out, the brightness value of the picture point of an image be not be equably distributed to all governable On brightness value, but the concentration class of the determination brightness value of each picture point for example occurs.In this case, according to the present invention Planting embodiment it can be beneficial that initially setting up the luminance spectral of image, wherein, luminance spectral being drawn out each brightness value The picture point being present in original image quantity.Next, clustering method can be applied on this luminance spectral, for Determine the concentration class in luminance spectral.Next the intensity level using after a while can be made to be adapted to the poly- of this determination lucky of brightness value Intensity, its mode is for example between two parties and the interval being attached to the brightness value of an intensity level to be corresponded to gathering with regard to a concentration class The maximum of degree is selecting to be attached to the brightness value of this intensity level.Alternatively, the selection on the border of an intensity level and being attached to The selection of the brightness value of this intensity level can also be adapted to the shape of picture point aggregation degree in other respects.When concentration class is not deferred to symmetrically Distribution (Gauss distribution), but consumingly asymmetricly construct when, this point for instance it can be possible that need.
Can separate accurate before being divided into subimage by dithering process and/or tone according to another embodiment The standby original image being reduced.Thus previously performed being reduced at least two intensity levels can be passed through, make intensity level Image edge between sub-pictures polishes, thus the improvement of picture quality compared with the original paper based on image.
According to another embodiment, it is applied in the negative film that image is the original image on basis.For this reason, for example can use Photosensitive layer, this photosensitive layer is not to become relatively deep dark when carrying out irradiation using electromagnetic irradiation, but becomes relatively to become clear.This puts permissible Have the advantage that:Other changes on image no longer can be carried out after generating the image by the melanism of each picture point. Thus, a relatively deep dark pixel can for example be added in the case of image positive all the time, but cannot, in negative film feelings Under condition, make constructed pixel and melanism.Therefore, can be to the antiforgery security of produced file by applying negative film Improve.
And then previously mentioned embodiment, is designed as according to another embodiment, photosensitive layer positioned at being applied in Region outside the edge of image is loaded using electromagnetic irradiation, so that fading in these regions.Thus it can be prevented that at this Extra change can be carried out in a little marginal areas.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the positive that can also apply image outside being additional to the negative film of image is to literary composition On part blank.This point can lift the antiforgery security of file further, because can check at any time, negative film is The shown positive of no adaptation, or whether can determine the difference between two images.
According to another embodiment, file blank has the file body of multilamellar, wherein, layer can be synthetic material and/ Or paper and/or metal and/or polymeric layer.It is designed as in particular according to one embodiment of the present invention, file blank is many There is in layer one layer chip and the interface including memory area, wherein, interface is capable of the memory block of access chip Domain.The original image being applied on file, wherein, example can be preserved in this memory area of chip in the framework of the method As stored original image read by interface in the case of checking file.Thus, it is possible to lift file further Antiforgery security, because can be compared the negative film of image, positive and original paper each other when checking genuineness of document.
On the other hand, the invention still further relates to one kind makes the personalized device of file blank using image, for utilizing File to be set up by irradiation devices for providing electromagnetic irradiation.Irradiation devices are associated with control device, by this control device energy The intensity of the irradiation being provided by irradiation devices is enough provided.Irradiation devices are configured to again, are loaded with using electromagnetic irradiation The file blank of photosensitive layer.By using the loading of electromagnetic irradiation, at least one changing photosensitive layer in the case can light Learn the parameter detecting, wherein, the change of parameter is proportional to the energy being added in photosensitive layer.Additionally, this device also includes counting According to processing meanss, this data processing equipment has processor device, memory device and interface, and wherein, interface is configured to read Enter monochromatic original image.The processor device of this device is configured to

Specific embodiment
Below, element similar each other is identified with identical reference.
Fig. 1 shows the block chart making the personalized device 100 of file blank 102 using image.Device 100 substantially by Irradiation devices 104 and conveyer device 106 form.Here, irradiation devices 104 comprise lasing light emitter 108, wherein, lasing light emitter 108 is in behaviour It is connected with laser controller 110 on work.Additionally, irradiation devices 104 also comprise processor device 112 and memory device 114 He Interface 116.Laser controller 110 also comprises program module 118, and this program module comprises the coding of machine-readable, by reality Apply this coding and make laser controller 110 manipulation lasing light emitter 108.Lasing light emitter 108 passes through coupling device, such as optical fiber male part 120 are connected with processing head 122.
Here, processing head 122 is configured to, making to be produced by lasing light emitter 108 and conveyed by optical fiber male part 120 Decoupled to the laser irradiation of processing head 122, so that targeted light beam 124 can be output in card blank 102. Here, the orientation of light beam 124 for example can be carried out by arranging deviation mirror, the orientation of this deviation mirror is by piezoelectricity or electronic The element activating is controlling.Light steering for example used in processing head 122 can be galvanometer scan galvanometer.Except It is also possible to make whole processing head 122 elapse in the plane of file blank 102, such as in x-y outside the steering of light beam 124 In the case of recorder (drawing apparatuss) common as.In addition to the passage of processing head 122, it is also possible that file blank 102 are passed with respect to processing head 122.
Here should be understood that processor device 112, memory device 114 and interface 116 need not to be irradiation devices 104 Mandatory part.These elements can also be divided away, as long as they are operationally connected with irradiation devices 104.Example As processor device 112, memory device 114 and interface 116 can be the parts of single arithmetic system, this arithmetic system line Cable is connected ground or is wirelessly connected with irradiation devices.
In order to make file blank 102 individualize using device 100 by applying image, first pass through interface 116 and read Enter original image.Here, original image both can be monochromatic original image or be polychrome, subsequently monochromatic first The original image changed.Schematically illustrate this original image 202 in fig. 2 a.The original image being read in by interface 116 202 are saved in memory device 114 first.Subsequently, by by processor device 212 implement corresponding program prepare described Original image 202, so that this original image can be applied in card blank 102.For this reason, limiting monochromatic original first At least two intensity levels of image 202.This point for example can occur as follows:Storage is accessed by processor device 112 Device 114 simultaneously extracts for intensity level, preservation parameter in this place to be applied, or being analyzed by processor device 112 Stored original image simultaneously executes an other restriction to the intensity level for original image to be applied.This to intensity level Select to further illustrate subsequently, by means of accompanying drawing 3.
Next, after determining intensity level, all pixels of original image 202 are attached to this according to its brightness value One of intensity levels, and all pixels in an intensity level a bit are attached to a fixation, new brightness value.With regard to Gray-scale picture, this process is known as gray level and reduces.The result of this process is a kind of image, only also exists in the images It is defined the picture point of the brightness value of quantity.Exemplarily, show the image 204 that gray level is reduced in figure 2b.Image 204 It is also subject to image improvement after execution is reduced by the gray level of dithering process.
Here, in the case of illustrating in figure 2b, altogether defining five gray levels.
The image 204 that gray level is reduced is split as in Fig. 2 c by processor 112 in a subsequent method and step In the subimage that illustrates.Here, subimage 206,208,210 and each in 212 only comprise one and identical respectively The picture point of intensity level.Thus, such as subimage 206 only comprises the picture point with very bright gray tone, and subimage 208 only wraps Containing the picture point with middle gray tone, subimage 210 only comprises the picture point with deep dull gray tone, and subimage 212 only comprises Black picture point.In the case, it is shown without only comprising the subimage of white picture point.
Next consequent subimage 206,208,210 and 212 is stored in memorizer 114.By implementing journey Sequence module 118, correspondingly manipulates lasing light emitter 108 by laser controller 110, and subimage 206,208,210 and 212 is passed successively Transport in card blank 102.For this reason, determining the photosensitive layer that must load card blank with how many energy first, for producing The picture point of the gray level of subimage 206 just to be applied.If for example lasing light emitter 108 provides the arteries and veins between 0.01mJ and 1mJ Rush energy, then so that 0.1mJ watt of pulse energy corresponds to bright gray scale.
Next, passing through processing head 122, the position Shangdi that light beam 124 is sequentially applied to pixel to be generated is made to be orientated In card blank 102, and by manipulating lasing light emitter 108 via optical fiber male part 120 and processing head 122, by pulsed laser output In the picture point being aimed in card blank 102.Thus, produce on the rum point on photosensitive layer in laser pulse desired One picture point of gray level.All picture points that this point is in turn directed to subimage to be imaged are performed.When this subimage is complete When card blank 102 is imaged, just it is loaded into next subimage and is imaged in card blank in a similar manner.Due under One subimage is the image of different grey-scale, thus here so that lasing light emitter is adapted on its output first to be generated Pixel gray level to be achieved.If should producing after the subimage for example previously applying and there is deeper dark pixel Only one subimage, then the output of laser must correspondingly raise.By all subimages 206,208,210 and 212 Transmission, with this approach, the image being reduced 204 can be transferred in card blank 102.
