We are happy to announce the granting of two new patents. As the first brand protection solution provider to deploy real-time detection of invisible patterns using handheld smartphones, AlpVision pioneered the use of imaging and mobile devices to facilitate branded product verification.
Our visual-aided product identification patented solution (US12243370) uses a graphical overlay on the smartphone screen to optimize fast and efficient positioning by the end user when capturing images of a product’s invisible patterns. This ensures that suitable images are provided for verification by the brand owner’s authentication system. The result for the customer: counterfeit detection in just a few seconds.
Our fingerprint microstructure authentication patented solution (EP3399462B1) uses reflected light from the product’s surface microstructure, along with smart image preprocessing, to compare the surface of the candidate object with that of a genuine template. This enables brand owners to identify counterfeits using a handheld imaging device — without the need to add any security features to their product design.
