Coaxial Light Feature Option D SCAN
®
AUTHENTICATOR CF
Which functionality does the coaxial light feature of the D SCAN
AUTHENTICATOR CF product provide?
This optional feature provides the functionality of turning the coaxial
illumination on while all other illuminations are off, taking one image with
the camera, turning the coaxial illumination off, and making the captured
image available as a digital bitmap via the API to the application software of
the system integrator. The application can then take this image and display it
on the screen of the PC so that the operator can view it.
A personalized page of a document covered with a protective laminate may
show certain retro reflective patterns when viewed with the coaxial
illumination. When viewed with one of the diffuse illuminations the same
page will not show the retro reflective pattern. Thereby the existence of such
a laminate can be checked visually.
The coaxial light product feature of the D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR CF
does not provide any kind of image processing or image analysis e.g.
intended for the automatic detection of tampering and alteration of
documents having security laminates such as the 3M™ Confirm™
Laminates.
Cross Match Technologies does not provide any product option or product
extension or separate product for performing such kind of automatic
detections.
