PROGRAMMED EXAMINATIONSThe system may be pre-programmed withinstrument settings to facilitate multiple,standard examination tasks, ensuringconsistency in the repetitive examination ofidentical documents such as cheques.

AUTO EXAMINEThe system (shown above) allows theoperator to select up to 435 illuminationand filter settings which the VSC®6000/HSwill then process to create thumbnailimages. In practice the selection would berestricted to around 200 settings. Preferredsettings can also be saved and applied toany subsequent document examination.

The gallery of thumbnail results can bescrolled through and either saved as ageneral record of document examinationor by double clicking any thumbnail thesystem will automatically recall the settingsto allow a more detailed examination onthe live image.

IMAGE ENHANCEMENT WITH PSEUDOCOLOUR MAPPINGThree techniques for enhancing smallvariations in IR absorption, reflectance andfluorescence characteristics of inks andpigments which exploit the eye’s ability todetect small colour variations in an imagemore easily than small grey level differences.

● Enhancing small variations in IR absorptionand reflectance

Three different spectral bands of the nearinfrared image of a document areconverted into red, green and blue usingthe camera’s three colour sensors. Anydifference in the infrared spectra of inkson the document are displayed as a colourvariation. The spectral bands may beselected by the operator to producemaximum colour difference.

● Enhancing small differences in infrared fluorescence by using a single excitation waveband

A single excitation waveband is selected toproduce a fluorescent image of the sampledocument. Using three different long passcamera filters, three fluorescent images arecreated and converted to red, green andblue using the camera’s three coloursensors. Any difference in the fluorescencespectra of inks on the document aredisplayed as a colour variation.

A typical imaging procedure is:

Excitation waveband of 400-485nm withfluorescent images taken with longpasscamera filters of 645nm, 695nm and725nm.

● Enhancing small differences in infrared fluorescence by using multiple excitation wavebands

Three excitation wavebands are selected toproduce three fluorescent images of thesample. Using three different long passcamera filters, each fluorescent image isconverted to red, green and blue using thecamera’s three colour sensors. Anydifference in the fluorescence spectra ofinks on the document are displayed as acolour variation. The imaging conditionsare preset as;

i) excitation at 400-535nm with longpasscamera filter at 715nm imaging on the redchannel.

ii) excitation at 515-640nm with longpasscamera filter at 780nm imaging on thegreen channel.

iii) excitation at 605-730nm with longpasscamera filter at 830nm imaging on theblue channel.
