Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with the field of halftone printing, in which the weight of ink per unit area is controlled by varying, within an array of printed dots, the size of each dot relative to the spaces between neighbouring dots.
  • the dots are typically very small and are not noticed individually.
  • the invention is concerned with the embedding of information by the relative positioning of the printed dots.
  • the regular array used in halftone printing known as a screen, has a pitch of typically 0.02" to 0.002", corresponding to a spatial frequency of 50 to 500 dots per inch. It is normal to vary the size and shape of these dots, but not the phase of one part of the array with respect to another.
  • This invention seeks to exploit the characteristics of Moire patterns by using these to embed, in a printed document, information in the form of a shift of phase and/or rotation of the dot pattern relative to a decoding screen, at a plurality of locations.
  • a carrier of embedded data comprises at least two screens, a first of said screens comprising a first plurality of substantially similar first elements, the centre of gravity of each element of said first plurality being located at a corresponding point within a first extending regular array of points, and a second of said screens comprising a second plurality of substantially similar second elements, the centre of gravity of each element of said second plurality being located at a corresponding point within a second extending regular array of points, wherein there is a difference between said first array and said second array, said difference comprising a relative phase shift between said arrays and/or a difference between the spacing between adjacent points within said first array and the spacing between adjacent points within said second array and/or the relative orientation of the axes of the first array with respect to the axes of the second array.
  • the screens are printed on the same substrate and the embedded data at a location on the substrate comprises elements of the first screen and is substantially void of elements of the second screen.
  • the difference between the first array and the second array is substantial so that, in use, a matching reference pattern, combined and substantially aligned with the first screen provides a pattern of interference comprising regions of constructive and/or destructive interference at locations where the first screen is present, said regions having dimensions substantially greater than the spacing between adjacent elements of the first screen, and there is no substantial simultaneous interference with the second screen, whereby embedded data is observed where the first screen is present.
  • a plurality of screens may each comprise embedded data at respectively different locations and/or for respectively different spectral components of an illummant so that, in use, a reference pattern comprising a respective plurality of matching sub-patterns provides interference at each respective location and/or for each respective spectral component.
  • the screen with embedded data may be printed with ink containing a UV fluorescent dye so that, in use, it is only observed when illuminated with UV light.
  • the embedded data may take the form of a bar code or its two- dimensional equivalent.
  • a reader of embedded data comprises means for locating an embedded data carrier; reference means comprising a reference pattern located in close proximity to said carrier or an image thereof; and means for viewing and/or detecting, in use, the interference pattern formed by the superposition of a screen of said carrier or an image thereof and said reference pattern, whereby said data is read.
  • Means may be provided for moving the data carrier and/or the reference means relative to each other so that, in use, the interference pattern is changed.

  • electro-optical means such as an array of photo-detectors or a CCD camera
  • means such as a frame grabber and data store, is provided for capturing the different interference patterns produced, at successive instants in time, by corresponding movement of the data carrier relative to the reference means, so that the data corresponding to the different interference patterns may be subsequently processed. Combination of such data allows the embedded data to be extracted.
  • a method for reading embedded data comprises detecting the location of a plurality of elements of a data carrier; associating each element with one of at least two screens, each said screen having a respectively different extending regular array of points and each element having its centre of gravity coincident with a different one of said points; and associating embedded data with regions of one of said screens, said regions being distinct from each other.
  • Figure 1 is a diagrammatic representation of a halftone screen with phase embedded information in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a diagrammatic representation of a reference pattern for use in decoding the information embedded in the screen of Figure 1.

  • Figure 4 shows a reading device for use in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 5 is a representation of the formation of a Moire pattern between a regular screen pattern and a spaced reference pattern.

  • Figure 8 illustrates a system for capturing image data in accordance with the invention.
  • a printed screen pattern with phase embedded information is illustrated in Figure 1.
  • Each small area bounded by two pairs of adjacent lines of the regular hatched pattern 1 represents the cell or space available for an element of a halftone screen.
  • the hatched pattern is not itself printed, in practice, and is employed here for diagrammatic clarity. Instead, an array of substantially similar dots, each with its centre of gravity at the centre of its corresponding cell, is printed.
  • a diamond shape would produce the inverse (negative) of the hatched pattern illustrated with the gaps between adjacent dots providing the lines as illustrated.
  • the degree to which each dot fills its respective cell determines the weight of the screen and thus the density of the printed document. Providing this density is maintained, the position of each dot relative to its neighbours is not normally significant for conventional printed material.
  • the word "REAL" becomes clearly visible because there are substantial density changes in the regions where there is, through a mismatch, destructive interference between the patterns. This mismatch is caused by a relative lateral displacement, in effect a phase shift, between the screen of Figure 1 and the reference pattern of Figure 2 and, by definition, their corresponding arrays, each of which has the same spatial frequency in this embodiment.

  • the spatial frequency of pattern 9 need not be the same as that of the screen of document 7.
  • the formation of a so-called Moire pattern between these spatial frequencies is illustrated with the aid of Figure 5 which shows, in section, two patterns in a spaced configuration.
  • a printed pattern 12 is spaced from a transmission reference pattern 13 by a distance t .
  • this separation is achieved w ⁇ th a glass substrate as shown in Figure 4 and the actual thickness of this glass would be t x n, where n is the refractive index of the glass, in order to compensate for the latter.
  • the pitch of pattern 12 is Pa. and that of pattern 13 is p 2 .
  • the transmission of light is optimal in the directions indicated by the bundles of rays 14 to 17 thus forming a modulated light pattern of maximum contrast at plane 18.
  • a pattern (having a finite period of its own and often referred to as a Moire) is produced by a mismatch between the periods of a data-carrying printed pattern and a corresponding reference pattern.
  • This mismatch can be between the intrinsic wavelengths of each respective pattern, or can result from a deliberate misalignment of two regular and equivalent patterns.
  • the typical dimensions of the regions of constructive and destructive interference (in other words a dimension comparable to half the wavelength of the Moire) , when there is substantial alignment between the printed screen pattern and the reference pattern will be substantially greater than the spacing between the adjacent dots or elements comprising the screen or reference pattern.

  • a series of data bits may be encoded within the document so that, when read either simultaneously or in sequence, such bits form a bar code or its two-dimensional equivalent.
  • a scanning device could be used to digitise the detailed structure of a printed document and the position of the digitised screen in certain regions of the document may be used as the spatial phase datum for other data-carrying regions. In this manner, the data is spatially phase encoded.
  • a single document may comprise screens in different colours.
  • the phase of each of these may be modified in accordance with the invention.
  • a specific colour may be used to provide the reference screen.
  • Patterns may be comprised of hexagonal close packed arrangements or have different periods in two orthogonal directions. Screen dots need not be square or diamond shaped, but may be elongate or round.
  • the embedded data may be encoded by use of a pattern having a pitch which substantially matches the reference pattern, whilst the surrounding pattern does not do so, either because its pitch is sufficiently different or because it is laid down at an angle which causes a substantial mismatch with the reference pattern.
  • a large time varying modulation of image density will be observed at any point in regions of embedded data, when the reference pattern is moved relative to it, and little or no modulation will be observed in the surrounding regions.

  • the transducer When a voltage is applied across these through terminals 30A and 30B, the transducer flexes and moves plate 26 in its own plane. The distance moved is proportional to the voltage applied. In this way, the phase relationship between the pattern of the decoder (reference pattern) and the pattern of dots cn the printed document is altered in accordance with the invention.
  • frame store 31 is used to capture the resulting sequence of images which are then processed as already described.
  • a second transducer may provide movement of decoder 26 in a direction orthogonal to that provided by transducer 29. This can be advantageous where the array of dots m the pattern is two-dimensional in order to deal with registration errors, different screen orientations and two-dimensional analysis of the Moire as indicated above.
  • the reference pattern in the embodiment of Figure 8, there is no spatial separation between the reference pattern and the corresponding image of document 23, and this composite image is imaged directly onto the CCD array of camera 28. In this manner both embedded and conventionally printed data are captured without loss of resolution.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un article qui comprend des données incrustées dans la trame (1) d'un procédé d'impression en demi-teintes. Les données (2-5) sont codées par le positionnement des centres de gravité d'éléments individuels ou points, composant une ou plusieurs trames utilisées pour imprimer un document, de façon différente de la variation normale du poids de ces points par rapport à leur espacement, ce qui donne des variations de densité pour les éléments imprimés en demi-teintes classiques. Un appareil rend immédiatement visibles ces données incrustées en donnant des interférences entre la trame (1) comportant les données (2-5) et un motif de référence à fréquence spatiale similaire. Une autre solution consiste à détecter ces données (2-5) par un procédé d'imagerie électronique dans lequel le mouvement commandé du motif de référence par rapport à la trame imprimée donne une série d'images qui sont traitées conjointement pour extraire les données incrustées (2-5). On peut remplacer l'utilisation d'un motif de référence physique par le balayage d'un document et l'établissement de références entre les positions des points de la trame en un endroit et des positions différentes. Cette invention est utile notamment dans le domaine des impressions de documents de sécurité car elle permet d'incorporer des dispositifs de sécurité et d'autres données incrustées dans des documents imprimés en demi-teintes.
