Abstract: A color measurement instrument includes a housing and illuminators, a two-dimensional photodetector array, and an optics system within the housing. A UV filter wheel closes the housing to prevent contaminants from entering the housing. The filter wheel supports UV filters and non-UV glass that can be selectively aligned with the illuminators. The photodetectors can be read in parallel, and each photodetector includes a unique spectral filter. The optics system delivers light from the sample target area equally to each of the photodetectors.

Abstract: A method for validating a security feature of an object. The method includes measuring spectral data of the object under a first illumination condition and a second illumination condition. The second illumination condition is different than the first illumination condition. The method also includes determining a presence of the security feature based on the spectral data measured under each illumination condition, and comparing the security feature to a standard.

Abstract: Imaging that uses glare to confirm proper measurement of a sample. An imaging device illuminates an object and generates glare (i.e., specular reflection, diffuse reflection or a combination of the two) off the object's surface, which is displayed on a display as a glare artifact. The location of the glare artifact is compared to a predetermined location to establish adjustment to obtain a desired angular orientation. The imaging device optionally highlights the glare artifact and steers a user to obtain the desired presentation angle. In two other embodiments, the spatial relationship between the imaging device and the object is time-varied. In one, the imaging device monitors changing glare and acquires a measurement when a desired glare is detected. In the other, the imaging device captures multiple images including varying glare artifacts and analyzes the images to select a preferred image having a glare artifact indicative of a desired angular orientation.
