Definitions
- the invention relates to methods and devices for checking the authenticity of printed objects, in particular printed sheet material, by measuring light emanating from an object to be checked, in particular reflected or transmitted, according to the preamble of independent claims 1 and 4 or 10 and 18.
- a security document is copied with the help of a color copier, the visible color impression of a printed surface area can in principle be reproduced.
- counterfeit security documents can generally be recognized by corresponding measurement of their reflection or transmission behavior in invisible spectral ranges.
- the laid-open document JP 52-11992 describes a method and a device for checking the authenticity of banknotes.
- a banknote is illuminated with light from a broadband light source.
- the light reflected or transmitted from one point on the banknote is detected with two spectrally differently sensitive photo detectors in the visible and infrared spectra. tral range measured.
- the output signals of the two photodetectors are amplified in a differential amplifier and evaluated in a downstream threshold and logic circuit. If the difference between the two output signals lies within a predetermined value range, the logic circuit supplies a binary signal which confirms the authenticity or indicates a forgery. This check can be repeated at several places on the bank note, the authenticity of the bank note being confirmed when a corresponding signal from the logic circuit is supplied at all or at most places.
- This method has the disadvantage that the specified range of values must be readjusted over the course of the operating time of the device, since the sensitivity or the dark current of the two photodetectors generally change due to aging effects. changes differently in each case and thus the difference between the signals varies.
- this method can deliver incorrect results in the authenticity check, in particular of documents that are contaminated in places or with noisy measurement signals, since at each point of the document to be checked, only a binary evaluation of the difference between the two output signals and thus a yes / no decision about the authenticity of the document to be checked.
- the measurement with two photo detectors is moreover only suitable for testing those printing inks which have a step-like reflection or transmission curve in the transition range between the visible and infrared spectral range and in the infrared range Spectral range have a substantially constant course.
- the printed sheet material to be tested is illuminated with white light and the light reflected or transmitted by individual color areas of the sheet material is detected by cells which are sensitive in the visible spectral range, each of which consists of a photoconductive element with a specific spectral sensitivity and a color filter arranged in front of it with a special spectral transmission.
- CdS cadmium sulfide
- the size of the area to be measured on the printed sheet material can be determined by means of a converging lens placed on a tubular housing.
- determining the size of the area to be measured on the sheet material by means of a lens placed on the tubular housing takes up a lot of space and therefore stands in the way of the need for a construction that is as compact as possible.
- a change in geometry associated with high adjustment effort is required for each desired change in size of the area to be measured on the sheet material.
- the individual solutions to the problem are based on the common inventive idea of selecting suitable spectral and / or spatial sections of a printed object and using them to check the authenticity of the object.
- the corresponding methods and devices enable a reliable and user-friendly authenticity check with a simple structure.
- the method according to claim 1 provides for the light emanating from at least one point of the object to be checked to be detected in spectral ranges which lie outside the visible spectral range.
- the spectral transmission or reflection behavior of the printed object to be checked can be determined particularly precisely in invisible spectral ranges.
- the methods known from the prior art are improved in such a way that not only simple, such as, for example, step-like spectral courses in a transition area between the visible and an invisible spectral area, but also any other type of spectral courses in invisible spectral areas can be reliably detected ,
- the Authenticity checking of objects printed with such special security printing inks using the methods known from the prior art would only provide insufficiently accurate results.
- a particularly high level of user-friendliness and reliability in the authenticity check of printed objects is achieved in particular in that a measurement series is generated for each defined spectral range and the authenticity test is carried out by comparing the measurement series generated.
- a measurement series is generated for each defined spectral range and the authenticity test is carried out by comparing the measurement series generated.
- an adaptation of two measurement series described in more detail below with subsequent evaluation can also be carried out.
- Another aspect of a method according to the invention for solving the task consists in that the detection of the light emanating from a printed object takes place at several locations of the object, a measured value being generated at each location for each defined spectral range.
- the measurement is carried out both at locations that lie within a certain area of the object printed with security printing ink, as well as at locations that lie outside this area and i.a. are only printed with a printing ink which has no characteristic course in the defined spectral ranges.
- first and second series of measurements consisting of the corresponding measured values.
- the light emanating from the object can be reflected, in particular remitted, and / or transmitted light.
- the actual authenticity check is now carried out using the first and second series of measurements.
- the two series of measurements are matched to one another by the measured values of the first series of measurements be converted into values of an adapted series.
- the values of the adjusted series have the property that they differ only slightly in defined ranges from the values of the second series of measurements.
- the defined ranges mentioned are determined in that the first and second series of measurements have essentially the same qualitative course.
- the essentially identical qualitative course in the defined areas generally results from the spectral behavior of the printed object outside the area.
- the area in which the spectral behavior differs from the other regions of the printed object can be determined with a high degree of accuracy by comparing the adapted series with the second series of measurements, and a corresponding evaluation and authenticity check by comparing the two adapted Series of measurements in this area can take place.
- the method according to the invention eliminates the influence of time-varying dark currents, amplification factors and sensitivities of the respective photodetectors.
- the different spectral behavior of the surface area in the defined spectral ranges can thus be analyzed quantitatively, for example by forming the ratio or difference between the two adapted rows.
- this leads to a reliable authenticity check and, on the other hand, ensures a high degree of user-friendliness, since any adjustment of parameters for evaluation, such as threshold values for the difference between two detector signals, can be omitted, since by adapting the two series of measurements for each object to be checked Elimination of time-varying influences is carried out.
- a falsification of the test result in particular due to localized pollution on the printed object, significantly reduced, since the influence of soiling is averaged out by adapting the measurement series, in particular by including measured values outside of locally limited soiling areas.
- the device according to the invention for checking the authenticity of printed objects is characterized in that the detection units provided for detecting the light emanating from the object are sensitive in defined spectral ranges which lie outside the visible spectral range.
- the detection units can in particular be photosensitive elements, such as e.g. Act photodiodes that are sensitive in the defined spectral ranges.
- a filter can be arranged in front of one or more photosensitive elements, which additionally influences the spectral sensitivity of the respective detection unit.
- the device according to the invention allows a particularly compact, simple and inexpensive construction, since additional, spectrally resolving optical elements, such as e.g. Prisms, grids or the like, can be dispensed with. Another advantage is that the effort for adjusting the individual components is very low when implementing the individual components of the device according to the invention.
- the device according to the invention can be implemented particularly simply and inexpensively in that the light source provided for irradiating the object to be examined has a broadband spectrum which at least partially includes the defined spectral ranges. Incandescent lamps are suitable for this, for example. This makes it possible to dispense with the use of different individual light sources, such as light-emitting diodes with different spectral emissions.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention provides that the detection units have photosensitive elements arranged next to one another.
- the photosensitive elements can, for example, be arranged on a common carrier in such a way that the edges of the photosensitive elements adjoin one another.
- the carrier can be, for example, a ceramic substrate.
- parallax errors can be practically completely avoided by arranging the photosensitive elements one behind the other.
- the type and sequence of the elements is to be selected so that each photosensitive element is transparent to the light to be detected with the photosensitive elements lying behind it.
- a first element is arranged in front of a second element, the semiconductor material of the first element being selected such that its absorption edge is at shorter wavelengths than that of the semiconductor material of the second, underlying element is the case.
- a further aspect of a device according to the invention for solving the task consists in providing at least one aperture between the object and the detector for setting the size of an area to be measured on the object, from which the object outgoing light is detected by the detector.
- the size of the area to be measured can be defined in a targeted and simple manner by opening the diaphragm and its distance from the object or detector.
- Distances and type of aperture are preferably chosen so that the area to be measured on the object is large compared to unevenness on the object, such as creases, but is small compared to surface areas on the object within which a characteristic spectral behavior is to be demonstrated ,
- Figure 1 shows the schematic structure of a device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows the schematic structure of a further exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention
- Fig. 5 shows the two series of measurements from Fig. 4 after the inventive adjustment
- FIG. 6 shows the difference determined from the adjusted measurement series from FIG. 5.
- Fig. 1 shows the schematic structure of a device according to the invention.
- the printed object 10 to be checked is illuminated with light from the two irradiated the light sources 12.
- light sources 12 are preferably used which have a broadband spectrum which, in addition to components in the visible spectral range, also contains components in non-visible spectral ranges, such as UV and / or infrared light.
- the light emanating from the light sources 12 is at least partially reflected by the object 10 to be checked and imaged by a focusing device 16 into the plane of an aperture 15, the light passing through the aperture opening striking the detector 13.
- Self-focusing lenses are preferably used as the focusing device 16.
- Self-focusing lenses are cylindrical optical elements made of a material that has a refractive index that decreases from the optical axis of the cylinder to its surface. By using such a lens, a 1: 1 mapping of the area to be measured onto the detection unit that is independent of the distance from the object to the detector is achieved.
- an aperture 15 is arranged in the beam path, which is designed as a pinhole in this exemplary embodiment.
- the detector 13 consists of two detection units 14 arranged one behind the other, each of which is sensitive in different spectral ranges.
- the detection units 14 each contain a photosensitive element, the photosensitive element closer to the object 10 being transparent to those spectral ranges in which the element behind it is sensitive.
- the output signals generated by the photosensitive elements go into an evaluation unit 20 and are used there for checking the authenticity of the object 10. - left
- the object 10 to be checked can be transported past the entire sensor device on a transport device 11 - shown here only in a highly schematic form.
- the object 10 can be conveyed at a certain transport speed, the detector 13 being used to measure the light reflected by the object 10 at certain time intervals.
- the object 10 is scanned in the form of a track of individual location areas of individual measurements lying next to one another or possibly overlapping.
- Appropriate storage of the measured values determined at one point during the measurement for the two defined spectral ranges finally results in a series of measurements for each of the two photosensitive elements, which reflects the reflection behavior of the object 10 depending on the respective location of the measurement.
- the detection units 14 of the detector 13 are not arranged one behind the other in relation to the object 10 to be measured, but are arranged next to one another.
- the detection units 14 arranged next to one another have to be thought of as being arranged perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
- the aperture 15 provided for delimiting the area to be measured on the object 10 is preferably a gap aperture, the gap of which likewise runs perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
- sources of error during the measurement and in the printed object itself have less effect.
- Such sources of error are different to different locations, for example objects to be checked relative to the measuring device, production-related different positions of the printed areas to be measured on the object and deviations in the cut, ie in shape and / or size, of the printed objects.
- the size of the area to be measured on the object 10 is likewise determined by a corresponding choice of the position of the diaphragm 15 between the detector 13 and the object 10.
- the aperture 15 is closer to the detector 13 than to the object 10, but in principle the reverse case also represents a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- a filter 17 is arranged in front of the detection units 14 and is only permeable in the relevant spectral ranges.
- a commercially available filter can be used for measurements with photo elements sensitive in the infrared spectral range in order to eliminate the influence of correspondingly shorter-wave light. Otherwise, the explanations for FIG. 1 apply to this exemplary embodiment.
- photosensitive elements can be used for the detection units 14 in the illustrated examples, each of which is in a non-visible spectral range, e.g. in the infrared or ultraviolet range. In this way, a very precise and reliable determination of the spectral behavior of the object 10 to be examined, which is hidden from the eye, is achieved.
- light from one or more visible spectral ranges can also be used in the sense of the invention.
- 3 shows examples of defined spectral ranges in which the light emanating from the object 10 to be checked is detected.
- the individual spectral ranges are plotted over the wavelength ⁇ on a non-linear scale.
- the spectral ranges lie outside the visible (VIS) spectral range.
- two of the defined spectral ranges UVi and UV 2 are in the ultraviolet, while the other spectral ranges IRi, IR 2 and IR3 are in the infrared.
- the defined spectral ranges can have a different spectral width.
- a different spectral width is advantageous if, for example, detection is to be carried out in spectral ranges in which the light emanating from the object 10 has absorption profiles of different widths, in particular absorption bands.
- the defined spectral ranges (UV ⁇ , UV 2 , IRi, IR 2 , IR-j) partially overlap.
- the light emanating from the object 10 to be checked is measured in at least two of these defined spectral ranges (UV ⁇ UV ⁇ IRi, IR2, IR3) via the individual detection units 14 of the detector 13, which are in the corresponding defined spectral ranges (UN 1, UV 2 , IRi, IR 2 , IR3) are sensitive.
- the spectral sensitivity of a selected detection unit 14 can be in the corresponding spectral range
- UV * i, UV 2 , IRi, IR 2 , IR3 have a maximum or are essentially within the corresponding spectral range (UV ⁇ UV ⁇ IRi, IR 2 , IR3).
- the width of a defined spectral range in which light is to be detected can essentially correspond to the width of the spectral sensitivity of the detection unit 14.
- a selection of individually defined spectral ranges in which the light emanating from the object 10 is to be detected is made depending on the type of spectral behavior of the security printing ink to be checked. For example, two spectral ranges in the ultraviolet (UVi and UV2) or infrared (IR 2 and IR3) or a spectral range in the ultraviolet (UVi) and infrared (IR 2 ) can also be selected.
- FIG. 4 shows a diagram in which two measurement series Ii and I 2 are shown, which were determined in two different defined spectral ranges, for example with one of the devices described in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the measured values of the two series of measurements Ii and I 2 are shown as a function of their location X at which they were detected on the object.
- the two measurement series Ii and I 2 shown have areas B in which the two measurement series have an essentially identical qualitative profile.
- the measurement series Ii and I 2 in region A differ significantly in quality.
- the two series of measurements Ii and I 2 are matched to one another by converting the series of measurements Ii in such a way that their newly calculated values in the areas B differ only slightly from the values of the second series of measurements I 2 .
- the measured values of the first measurement series I are preferably converted into the values of the adapted series I'i by a linear transformation, which is carried out by multiplying the values of the first measurement series Ii by a first parameter ai and then adding a second parameter a 2 :
- a linear transformation which is carried out by multiplying the values of the first measurement series Ii by a first parameter ai and then adding a second parameter a 2 :
- the linear transformation is a conversion that is easy to implement from a computational point of view.
- the two parameters ai and a 2 are preferably determined from the measured values of the measurement series Ii and I 2 at the locations of a local minimum L j or I 2j and an adjacent local maximum Iik or Ia in the defined area B. These computationally simple to implement method allows a particularly simple and rapid determination of adapting the two test series Ii and I 2 required parameters ai and a 2. In the diagram in FIG. 4, locations of local minima Ii and k j as well as neighboring maxima Iik and I21 of the two measurement series and I are shown as examples.
- the two parameters ai and a 2 required for adaptation via a linear transformation of the first measurement series Ii are calculated as follows:
- the two parameters ai and a2 can also be determined by a so-called least-square-fit method.
- those parameters ai and a 2 are determined in a numerical method for which the sum of the square of the differences between the measured values of the adapted measurement series is minimal:
- the measurement series Ii and I 2 are then readjusted in a second run.
- the parameters ai and a2 are determined in this second run, however, only by including those measured values which lie outside the specific measured value range A, that is to say via the measured values lying in the areas B.
- FIG. 5 shows an adapted row I'i converted from the measurement series Ii and the second measurement series I2.
- the two rows in areas B now differ only slightly from one another.
- the deviation of the two adapted measurement series 1 'and I2 clearly appears in area A.
- the course of the two adapted measurement series I '! and I 2 can now be evaluated quantitatively.
- a quantitative evaluation can take place, for example, by forming the difference between the two adapted measurement series I 2 - I'i.
- the result of such a difference formation is shown in FIG. 6.
- the height of the difference between the two adapted measurement series in area A can are now used for the authenticity check as a measure of a spectral behavior of the printed object to be examined which deviates in area A.
