US Patent:

20130135081, May 30, 2013

Filed:

Nov 30, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/691724

Inventors:

WABA Fun, LLC - Bromfield CO, US
Jeffrey L. Barnett - Fort Collins CO, US
Bradley Matthew White - Lafayette CO, US
Stanley R. James - San Francisco CA, US
Mark Andrew Crouch - Boulder CO, US

Assignee:

WABA FUN, LLC - Bromfield CO

International Classification:

G07C 9/00

US Classification:

340 58

Abstract:

Systems and methods authenticate an object using IR. IR is projected at a first wavelength onto the object and a first image of the object is captured during the projection of the IR. The object is authenticated by processing the first image to detect IR fluorescence from an IR fluorescing material incorporated into the object in response to the projected IR, where presence of the IR fluorescence within the first image indicates authentication of the object.

Stanley R. James - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G06K 7/10
G06K 19/06
G06K 7/14

Abstract:

An authenticable digital code includes a printable medium, a machine-readable digital code, formed on the printable medium, that graphically represent information, and at least one security signature positioned relative to the machine-readable digital code. The security signature includes a fluorescent material that, when excited by light of a first wavelength, fluoresces and emits light at a second wavelength that is different from the first wave length. Authenticity of the authenticable digital code is determined by detecting, when the authenticable digital code is illuminated by light of the first wavelength, light of the second wavelength at a position relative to the machine-readable digital code.

International Classification:

H04N 5/33
H04N 1/00

US Classification:

348164

Abstract:

A fluorescence detection system includes a light source for coupling with a mobile device and software, having machine readable instructions loadable into memory of the mobile device and executable by a processor of the mobile device, capable of: activating the light source in coordination with capturing one or more images using a camera of the mobile device; analyzing an image captured with the light source on with an image captured with the light source off, to detect a shift of intensity within a predetermined color range within the images; and identifying and authenticating objects by measuring the intensity shift within the images.

International Classification:

H04N 5/33
H04N 5/232

US Classification:

348164

Abstract:

Systems and methods prevent friendly fire using infrared object recognition. An IR projector projects a beam of IR radiation at a first wavelength onto the object and an IR detector, having a field of view of the object, detects IR fluorescence from the object, where a wavelength of the fluorescence is a function of the first wavelength. The system includes a memory for storing software having machine readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the steps of: (a) controlling the IR projector to generate IR at the first wavelength; (b) controlling the IR detector to capture the object fluorescence; and (c) identifying the object as friendly or non-friendly based upon the object fluorescence. The system further includes an inhibitor for preventing firing of a gun or missile when the object is identified as friendly.
