AUTHENTICATION PROCESS FOR WORK OF ART, AND DEVICE SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROCESS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a method for enabling anyone to recognize or authenticate an object work of art for verifying the origin by mounting a module with a non-contact-type semiconductor chip to the work of art, processing data that is obtained by scanning the work of art, and compressing the data and storing it in the memory of the module. SOLUTION: Two sets of slides 21/22 and 23/24 are arranged on a base 10 of a parallel hexahedron so that they are vertical each other. The slides 21/22 are set along end parts 11 and 12 of the base 10 and the slides 23/24 slide on them. Further, a support tray 31 is mounted so that the slides 23/24 may slide. As a result, when the slides 23/24 slide on the slides 21/22, the support tray 31 moves in the longitudinal direction of the base 10 and the support tray 31 can scan the entire surface of the base 10. A light assembly comprising a scanner 45 and a lighting device 44 is provided at an arm 42 of a beam 40 that is erected while covering the base 10, and the output data of a high- resolution color camera being provided at the scanner 45 is processed by the light assembly and is sent to an on-board computer.
