Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés qui permettent de capturer des images de documents sophistiqués afin d'en identifier, vérifier, déterminer l'aptitude ou d'effectuer un autre traitement. Les systèmes et procédés consistent à utiliser une source électromagnétique pour amener un rayonnement électromagnétique à sortir du document ou à traverser celui-ci et à venir au moins finalement vers un sélecteur électromagnétique qui isole au moins une partie du rayonnement électromagnétique en au moins deux segments ayant différentes longueurs d'onde sur un spectre électromagnétique. Les deux ou plus de deux segments sont capturés à l'aide d'une pluralité de capteurs. Les segments capturés peuvent être utilisés pour traiter le document. L'invention concerne également d'autres systèmes et procédés.
