Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03084767A2] A process for the recognition of elements marked with OVI<TM> (Optical Variable Ink) comprising the following steps:- production of a ray of polarised light by the use of a first polarising filter on a source of light; Exposure of the part of the document or banknote marked with OVI<TM> type inks to the ray of polarised light; Additional filtering of the light reflected by the document or the banknote by means of a second polarising filter placed at an appropriate reciprocal angle with respect to the degree of polarisation of the incident light;- Detection of the variation in luminescence.
