Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a test device for the automatic authenticity checking of objects, in particular of coins.
- the prior art discloses methods and test devices for automatic, and thus mechanically performed, checking of coins in which a visual inspection of the respective coin to be tested is carried out by means of a corresponding test device.
- the coin is regularly illuminated in a predetermined manner and the resulting image is compared with corresponding reference information corresponding to a genuine and undamaged coin in order to obtain a test result with regard to the authenticity and / or integrity of the coin .
- EMS electromagnetic sensors
- the object of the present invention is to further improve the automatic authenticity checking of objects, in particular of coins.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a method for automatically checking the authenticity of objects, in particular coins, such as money coins, by means of a testing device.
- the method comprises: (i) performing an X-ray fluorescence analysis, RFA, of an object to be checked and making a first comparison in which one or more properties of at least one fluorescence spectrum generated in the RFA are compared with assigned first reference information become; (ii) performing a second analysis of the object based on a corresponding second examination method different from the RFA, and making a second comparison in which an examination result obtained in the second analysis is compared with associated second reference information; and (iii) determining an analysis result relating to the authenticity of the object as a function of the results of both the first and second comparisons.
- RFA X-ray fluorescence analysis
- an "automatic authenticity check" of an object means an examination of the object carried out by means of a machine in the form of the test device with regard to whether it is authentic or not. Authenticity here means authenticity in the sense of "found as original”.
- X-ray fluorescence analysis also called X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (RFS) (X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, XRF spectroscopy) is a method from the material analysis based on X-ray fluorescence, in which a material sample, in this case an object, by X-ray gamma - or ion radiation is excited, being released by subsequent secondary processes released energy in the form of element-specific fluorescence radiation. This fluorescence radiation can be evaluated by a radiation detector.
- the X-ray fluorescence analysis basically enables identification and concentration determination. tion of most chemical elements in a material sample in a wide variety of compositions.
- first "reference information" to be compared within the scope of the invention with a fluorescence spectrum generated in the case of the RFA are information or data associated with the object to be checked or corresponding object type (or object type) and the technical features or characterize resulting properties of an original of this object which are suitable for use in testing for similarity to the fluorescence spectrum generated in the RFA.
- the first reference information may in particular itself describe a reference fluorescence spectrum or one or more specific characteristic features thereof, such as the occurrence, the length-related or frequency-related position as well as the amplitude and / or width of certain maxima or minima of the spectrum.
- the second analysis of the object on the basis of a corresponding second examination method which differs from the RFA, such as a specific visual inspection or an EMS analysis, thus provides, in addition to the result of the RFA on the basis of the first comparison, another, not the In the second comparison, corresponding (second) reference information is used for the correspondingly selected examination method in order to check the authenticity of the object.
- this (second) reference information may in particular characterize characteristic features of an image of the checked view of an original object, such as the spatial position of certain characteristic surface properties, such as embossing of the object, brightness to be expected for a given illumination. , Contrast and / or Color Distributions, etc.
- the (second) reference data can describe expected measurements or traces corresponding to the measurement of an original object, with which the EMS measurement results generated for the EMS analysis of an initially unknown object Purposes of authenticity verification can be adjusted.
- a check of the object takes place by means of at least two different examination methods, of which at least one RFA is used to determine a chemical composition of the examined objects.
- the result of the authentication is then based on both the result of the RFA analysis and the result of the review determined with the at least one further, different investigation method.
- the method further comprises: (i) detecting the type, condition or at least one predetermined property of the object to be inspected; and (ii) performing the first and / or the second analysis in dependence on the result of that detection.
- the detection step (i) can be carried out in particular by means of a sensor device of the test device.
- a selection and / or adaptation of the examination methods used for the first and / or the second analysis is thus effected as a function of the type determined in the detection step (i), the state or at least one predetermined property of the object.
- this can advantageously be used to automatically select an optimized set of examination methods as well as their optimized setting with regard to the object to be checked.
- a purely manual selection or setting via a corresponding man-machine interface or a combination of both variants are possible. For example, it may be advantageous to perform an EMS method for certain coin types in addition to the RFA as the second method of investigation, whereas for other coin types which have a different material composition, a visual inspection may be preferable to an EMS analysis.
- the selection of the radiation energy, in particular the excitation energy for the generation of X-ray radiation for the RFA can depend on a type of object previously detected in the detection step, for example coin type (eg currency, Nominal value, coin generation, etc.).
- the selection or setting of the examination methods to be used can, in particular, be carried out by means of a comparison of the results of the acquisition step with a data item.
- suitable, optimized combinations or settings of corresponding examination methods can be provided in each case by means of corresponding data.
- the detection of the type, state or at least one predetermined property of the object to be checked is performed as a sub-process of the first and / or second analysis itself.
- the detection of the type, state or at least one predetermined property of the object to be checked is performed as a sub-process of the first and / or second analysis itself.
- the second assay method is selected from a number of available assay methods depending on the outcome of the acquisition.
- the test apparatus is thus set up to carry out various examination methods, and the decision as to which of these examination methods is used in addition to the RFA as a second analysis, at least partially automatically, depending on the result of the detection step, so in the case of coins, for example, depending on thereby recognized coin type.
- At least one property of the X-ray radiation used in the XRF is determined as a function of the result of the detection, that is to say of the detection step.
- the property of the X-ray radiation to be determined can relate, in particular, to its wavelength or frequency (energy) ranges, their intensity, and / or the main radiation direction of the X-ray beam or a combination of at least two of the aforementioned. This can be used, in particular, to select the radiation energy of the X-ray radiation as a function of the detected object type, since in the case of XRF an optimum range of X-radiation is regularly measured with regard to the wavelength or frequency (energy) as a function of the chemical to be detected Select elements or connections in order to obtain optimized measurement results.
- the intensity of the X-ray radiation is set as a function of an expected emission spectrum of the material of the object to be examined such that the intensities of the spectrum of the fluorescence radiation to be detected by sensors correspond to the needs and limitations of the corresponding radiation sensor for recording the Spectrum are adjusted.
- the object is subjected to RFA and / or the second analysis only from a spatial side. In the case of a coin, this may in particular correspond to an analysis of only one major side of the coin (for example, reverse or reverse).
- Analyzer must be placed in various positions, and / or vice versa, whereby the complexity of the test apparatus kept low and can be avoided with such changes in position associated loss of efficiency.
- the object is subjected to at least two, in particular opposite, different sides from the RFA and / or the second analysis.
- the quality and reliability of the authenticity check can be further increased, as properties of more than one side of the object are included in the analysis, and thus a higher level of discrimination can be achieved for distinguishing real and counterfeit objects.
- the method further comprises selective ejection of the inspected object depending on the determined analysis result regarding the authenticity of the object and / or on at least one of the following aspects detected in the authentication: the nature, a condition, or at least at least one predetermined property of the object.
- the method further comprises selective ejection of the inspected object depending on the determined analysis result regarding the authenticity of the object and / or on at least one of the following aspects detected in the authentication: the nature, a condition, or at least at least one predetermined property of the object.
- a further sorting for example according to the object type, or a degree of damage or contamination recognized during the check can additionally take place for at least one of the two cases.
- the second method of investigation is one of the following: (i) visual inspection; (ii) inspection by means of an electromagnetic sensor device, EMS; (iii) weight, mass or mass density determination; (iv) Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy; (v) Scanning Electron Microscopy, SEM.
- the visual or optical inspection can take place in particular by means of image recognition and / or laser inspection.
- the visual or optical inspection comprises irradiating the object with light (a) along, at least substantially, a single irradiation direction, (b) by means of a light dome, or (c) by means of a ring lighting; and detecting the light reflected thereby each from the object.
- All mentioned variants usually lead to different lighting conditions, so that the most advantageous can be selected and used depending on the object to be checked.
- at least one of the following sub-processes of the authenticity check by the testing device takes place in a clocked manner according to a clock signal: object feed, first analysis, second analysis, object rejection. In particular, it is expedient to perform all sub-processes of the authenticity check clocked in this manner.
- the clock can be variably adjusted depending on the type or state or other properties of the objects to be checked, which can be used in particular to minimize the test time and thus to optimize the efficiency.
- the clock may thus depend, for example, on the type of the second and possibly further investigation methods, or also on the type of objects to be examined, since the analysis times required for their checking depend on their type, (and / or state or other properties) can.
