Methods for recording of holograms with an encoded hidden image (security holograms) and a reading-decoding optoelectronic system are presented in this paper. Security holograms are used as means for control of authenticity of the protected objects. Some modifications of the recording schemes with the code mask in the object beam are proposed. The main problem to be solved is connected with the required precision of the hologram positioning in the readout device. The algorithm of reconstruction of the decoded image is proposed in this paper. The main feature of this algorithm is the presence of the optical and electronic decoding. It allows producing of better than previously protected holograms. As an additional measure of protection of the hologram it is proposed to use the predetermined elements of the hidden image for checking ofthe hologram authenticity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
