Abstract:
In one implementation, a processor: (1) receives an image of a candidate mark from an image acquisition device, (2) uses the image to measure one or more characteristics at a plurality of locations on the candidate mark, resulting in a first set of metrics, (3) removes, from the first set of metrics, a metric having a dominant amplitude, resulting in a trimmed first set of metrics, (4) retrieves, from a computer-readable memory, a second set of metrics that represents one or more characteristics measured at a plurality of locations on an original mark, (5) removes, from the second set of metrics, a metric corresponding to the metric removed from the first set of metrics, resulting in a trimmed second set of metrics, (6) compares the trimmed first set of metrics with the trimmed second set of metrics, and (7) determines whether the candidate mark is genuine based on the comparison.

Claim (Index 5):
A method for establishing a signature for a printed mark, the method comprising:\n printing a mark, wherein the printed mark includes imperfections resulting from a printing process that printed the mark; capturing an image of the printed mark; forming a genuine mark signature based on the imperfections by carrying out steps comprising\n extracting one or more optical or physical characteristics of the printed mark at a plurality of locations on the printed mark; \n trimming the optical or physical characteristics by removing one or more dominant optical or physical characteristics; \n encoding the trimmed optical or physical characteristics of the original barcode into a verification metric data set; \n storing the genuine mark signature in a database; applying the printed mark to an item.
