METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN IDENTITY OF A PRODUCT BY DETECTING AN OPTICALLY VISIBLE AND A NON-VISIBLE FEATURE, AND IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining an identity of a product (6) by means of an identification system (1), in which an optically visible feature (7) of the product is detected by means of a detection device (2) and the detected optically visible feature (7) is compared with an optically visible reference feature (8) of the product (6) stored in a database (5) in a first comparison by means of an electronic computer device (3), and the identity of the product (6) is determined according to the first comparison, wherein a further optically non-visible feature (9) of the product (6) is detected by means of the detection device (2) and compared with an optically non-visible reference feature (10) of the product (6) stored in the database (5) in a second comparison, and the identity of the product (6) is determined by means of the electronic computer device (3) according to the first comparison and the second comparison. The invention also relates to an identification system (1).
