Luminescent tagging of documents and the method of their mobile detection based on Hyperspectral Imaging and Artificial Intelligence - LumAI

Project summary

The project addresses the need to enhance protection of the security documents (passports, IDcards, tax stamps) against counterfeiting. The objective of the LumAI is to develop a novel class of functional materials and the method of their mobile detection that will be used in an innovative document security system. The luminescent powder will be incorporated into ink and printed on paper or polymer film. The activation will be performed by a model of multichannel flash lamp. For detection, smartphone application based on hyperspectral imaging and AI approach will be used. This technique will facilitate the verification of the authenticity of the documents and help fight against forgery. It allows the user not only to confirm the document but also to identify its producer, which provides additional security. The project represents collaborative design of problem-oriented research and creative integration of knowledge across disciplines including material and computer science.
