If the document surface is arched out of the reference plane as a whole by forces acting tangentially on one another, acting in the reference plane on opposite edges or points of the document body, the lens array is also arched. Parallel incident light along the excellent direction is now focused by a plurality of the lens elements at second focal positions deviating from the first focus positions. Thus, a first information when viewing the top of the document body in the ground state in plan view along the excellent direction is perceptible through the lens array formed over marks in the first focus points.
  • the microlens array is also arched, so that the first information through the microlens array is no longer or at least clearly visible when viewed along the excellent direction with respect to the reference plane changed and no longer completely perceptible.

  • Graphic information is any information that can be graphically represented.
  • Graphic information may include, for example, an image, a pictogram, symbols and characters, in particular alphanumeric characters and the like, in any combination.
  • information stored on or in an object is designated when in a captured image of the object those elements representing the information are contained and can be perceived cognitively or mechanically.
  • Cognitively information is perceptible when a human observer can extract the information of the image when viewing, for example, recognizes a symbol or can read a lettering.
  • an algorithm that implements a pattern recognition method for example, can extract the information from the captured image. If a lettering by means of an optical letter recognition algorithm (OCR - optical character recognition) can be determined correctly, the encoded in letters information of the figure can be removed.

In the case of a lens with a negative radius of curvature, however, the center point or, in the case of a cylindrical lens, the cylinder axis is located outside the document body, ie on the side of the lens surface facing away from the document.

  • a position of the green ellipse lies between that of the circle and that of the rectangle.
  • the first information comprises a grid formed of raster elements whose raster elements are spaced from each other but which are similar but different from the distances of the lens elements of the lens array in the ground state, so that when viewed from the excellent direction, a moiré effect results.
  • the second information comprises a further raster formed from further raster elements, wherein the raster elements have similar but deviating distances from one another as the lens elements of the lens array in the curved state, so that a further moiré effect can be detected in the curved state.
  • a security document 1 is shown with a document body 3.
  • the security document 1 has a top 5 and an opposite bottom 7, which in a ground state, the in Fig. 1 is shown, in each case substantially planar and are plane-parallel to each other.
  • the document body 3, which preferably has a rectangular top 5, further has a left short side edge 9 and a right short side edge 11 and in addition a front longitudinal edge 13 and a lower longitudinal side edge lying below the plane of the drawing.
  • a lens array 31 is formed.
  • the document body is transparent at least in an area facing the upper side in the volume except for any markings 77, 97, which are explained in more detail below.
  • the transparency extends to a depth which corresponds to the focal length of lens elements 33.
  • the document body can also be made opaque.
  • the document body has a standardized card format, for example the standards ID1, ID2 or ID3, which are normalized for security documents such as passports, identity cards, driving licenses or the like.
  • a standardized card format for example the standards ID1, ID2 or ID3, which are normalized for security documents such as passports, identity cards, driving licenses or the like.
  • the lens array 31 has a plurality of cylindrical lens elements 33 having a positive radius of curvature.
  • a radius of curvature 35 is shown.
  • the radius of curvature describing the curvature of the cylindrical lens elements 33 starts from a center 37 located in the interior of the document body 3. Through this center also extends a cylinder axis 39 of the cylindrical lens elements 33, which is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • cylindrical lens elements 43 having a negative radius of curvature are disposed between adjacent cylindrical lens elements 33 having a positive radius of curvature.
  • a negative radius of curvature 45 and the associated center 47 are shown. Through the center 47 extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing corresponding to a cylinder axis 49 of such a cylindrical lens element 43 with a negative radius of curvature.
  • the top side 5 or the flat document body 3 defines a reference plane 21.
  • directions for viewing or acquiring information or information are defined defines a writing of markings.
  • the surface normal 23 of the reference plane is shown here, with respect to which, for example An angle to an excellent viewing direction or detection direction is measured.
  • detection occurs along an excellent direction 61 which is collinear with the surface normal 23 of the reference plane.
  • the detection is carried out in the embodiment of a viewing position 106 centered on the lens array 31.
  • the detection direction indicates the direction along which is looked at a center of the lens array 31. At positions on the surface spaced from the center, the detection direction slightly deviates at a finite distance of the viewing position 106 from the top 5 from the excellent direction 61.
  • marks 77 of first information are stored in the document at first focus positions 75. Collectively, these markers 77 of the first information store the first information 71. This can be seen by taking a map along the designated direction 61 from this figure.
  • Fig. 3 shows a captured image 103 of the security document 1 in the ground state, wherein the detection along the excellent direction 61 has been made.
  • the first information 71 is shown in the form of a circle 73 of Figure 103.
  • a preferred bending direction 87 is parallel to the front Longitudinal edge 13 oriented.
  • Fig. 2 is the security document after Fig. 1 shown in the curved position, which act on an action of predetermined compressive forces which act tangentially in the reference plane 21 on the opposite side edges 9, 11. Since the individual cylindrical lens elements 33 with a positive radius of curvature have a distance from each other which is greater than twice the radius of curvature, the individual cylindrical lens elements 33 can become due to the curvature of the document almost twisting each other. This is recognizable by the fact that the distances between the apexes 34 of the lens elements in the ground state, which are marked by crosses, in the curved state have a greater distance from each other than in the ground state.
  • the second information 91 which represents a square 93, can thus be taken from a further image 103 'recorded from the excellent direction 61 in that region 101' in which the lens array 31 is depicted.
  • Fig. 4 shows this captured additional figure.
  • the first information of the captured image is no longer or at least not completely removed.
  • individual image areas 104 of the first information are also partially to be detected in the image of the arched security document.
  • the same can apply to parts 105 of the second information in the map of the ground state.
  • the figure 103 clearly shows a circle 73 and the further figure 103 'clearly shows a square 93. This information change due to the arching of the security document 1 or the document body 3 can be used to derive a verification decision.
  • Fig. 1 The arrows 79 meet in the viewing position 106 and represent the image of the first information, which is detected when viewed under the excellent direction 61 at the viewing position 106, which is shown via a schematized eye. The detection can also be done with a camera or the like.
  • Fig. 2 For example, as indicated by the arrows 99, the second information is mapped to the viewing position 106 indicated by the schematic eye when detection along the designated direction 61 occurs.
  • the first and the second information differ with respect to the geometric shape of the respective illustrated objects, which are, for example, a circle and a square.
  • the first information of the second information may differ only by the color, so that a color transition is to be observed or detected in a transition from the ground state to the curved state of the document body from the excellent direction.
  • the letters may, for example, move apart and slightly tilt a word "text" of the first piece of information, so that the following text will result in the second piece of information: "text”.
  • the second information is stored in the document body by means of raster elements which, in the curved state of the document body, have gaps spaced apart from one another by distances between the lens elements of the document body Lens arrays slightly differ in the curved state, so that a moiré effect results, which "generates" a pattern or a sign, which is different from the second information or their graphical representation.
  • Fig. 5a 3 is a schematic simplified view of a memory view 200 of a document body on which segmented three graphical information is stored. These are printed, for example.
  • Strips labeled 211 are the first graphic information, the strips of the second graphic information indicated by the reference numeral 212 and the strips labeled 213 associated with the third graphical information.
  • the first graphical information "Text1" can be recognized in the ground state (cf. Fig. 5b ), the second graphical information "Text2" is in the curved state (cf. Fig. 5c ), in which a center 207 of the lens array is closer to the viewer than edges 208, 209 of the lens array, and the third graphical information "Text3" in the additional curved state (see FIG. Fig. 5d ), in which the center 207 of the lens array is farther from the viewer than the edges 208, 209 of the lens array.
  • each of the stripes 211, 212, 213 comprises only a part of the corresponding graphic information 201, 202, 203.
  • Strips 211 each include a portion of the first graphical information "Text1". The same applies to strips 212 and 213.
  • the first graphical information 201 is stored distributed over all assigned sections 205.
  • the second graphical information and third graphical information are each stored only in sections 206 that are spaced from the center 207. This takes into account that the focus position deviations caused by the bulges increase towards the edges of the lens array.
  • the font is also "rotated” and shown in a reduced size.
  • These contents “Text2" and “Text3” are in the basic state ( Fig. 5b ) not detectable and only in accordance with associated arched condition ( Fig. 5c - “Text2”) or additional curved state ( Fig. 5d - “Text3”) and completely detectable.
  • In the ground state only “Text1” can be detected, of which “residues” 210 may be detectable in the other curved states. This is due to the fact that for a central lens element, the strips 211, 212, 213 actually overlap and are shown here side by side and separated only for the sake of illustration.
  • the position of the strips 211, 212, 213 to each other, their “distances” and “extent” actually vary with the distance from the center 207, assuming similar cylindrical lenses as lens elements. If varying lens elements are used this applies to an even greater extent.
