Anti-Counterfeiting Vision System from the VEA

The Value Engineering Alliance (VEA)

The Value Engineering Alliance (VEA), Cambridge, MA, offers the AVIA Private Eye, an integrated PC-based software and hardware vision system that can be used to examine authentic and suspect packages, determine whether the packages in question are fakes, and generate reports and images to substantiate counterfeiting claims. The system is a 2-monitor solution that displays the standard proofreading information on the left monitor and Private-Eye specific results on the right. By automatically aligning and comparing source documents imported in PDF or scanned form, the system detects differences in text and graphics as well as distortions between packages.
