Multispectral Imaging for Brand Protection: Analysis of Counterfeit Packaging using the VideometerLab 2 Multispectral Imaging System

21 Jul 2013

The rapid and reliable identification of counterfeit goods is the first step on the road to building a secure supply chain. Without a method of identifying those samples which are not genuine there is no way to narrow down the particular products that need additional security features, or which batch numbers consumers should be alerted to avoid via public health authorities. Counterfeiting poses a serious public health risk, and those who counterfeit should face the full force of the law; the reliability and accessibility of the VideometerLab results will help ensure a conviction when the counterfeiters are eventually discovered.

VideometerLab 3 Multispectral Imaging System

Analytik Ltd

VideometerLab 3 is a vision-based lab analyser designed for fast and accurate determination of surface colour, texture, shape, size and chemical composition. The easy-to-use system integrates illumination, camera, and computer technology with advanced digital image analysis and statistics. VideometerLab 3 provides a rapid assessment of uniform and non-homogeneous samples by combining information on all of the above parameters automatically in just a few seconds, requiring no sample preparation and leaving the sample intact. Using strobed LED technology VideometerLab 3 combines measurements at up to 20 different wavelengths into a single high-resolution multispectral image. Every pixel in the image is a spectrum and the system can include wavelengths outside the range detected by traditional RGB technology. VideometerLab 3 Multispectral Imaging System Features: Integrating sphere provides very homogeneous and diffuse illumination Multispectral analysis in less than 6 seconds Up to 19 spectral bands in the range 375 nm to 970 nm Fluorescence option available Black and white high resolution CCD camera (2056x2056 pixels) Improved signal-to-noise ratio by individual and automated adjustments of the light intensity in each wavelength band Improved colour determination compared to traditional RGB technology Increased stability due to strobed LED source technology
