A developer claims to have an app that can help determine whether an object is a counterfeit simply by using a smartphone camera.
),"Pick up a car brake pad, a circuit board, a bar of precious metal, or your collectable baseball card. Are you sure it is what you think it is? Is it what it should be? What is the consequence if it isn't? Eliminate these questions and avoid the doubt. Be FeaturePrint sure!" With global counterfeits now a $2.3 trillion"industry," the FeaturePrint app uses a photo and software to identify the digital footprint on every item.
Even though the app uses your phone's camera, FeaturePrint is not an image."It is a set of numbers characterizing the unique features of an object. Features common to similar objects are rejected, and only the information that makes this object unique is preserved." A FeaturePrint confirms a particular object, not the kind of object it is. For example, the app might confirm a certain Intel Core i9 processor, not the class of all Intel Core i9 processors.
The app replaces barcodes, QR codes, or RFID tags that can fall off, get covered up, or get counterfeited. The FeaturePrint app is not available from a smartphone app storefront. The app is for businesses and if you represent a company that needs what FeaturePrint provides, you will need to get in touch with Alitheon by filling out their contact form. Pricing is not mentioned on the website.
As Alitheon says,"Alitheon’s FeaturePrint optical AI technology securely links the physical and digital worlds. A FeaturePrint is a digital representation of the inherent random features unique to an object that arise from the object’s creation. FeaturePrinting allows high confidence distinguishing of individual items out of millions of similar and so-called"identical" objects.
As the developer points out,"Each FeaturePrint is unique, even between objects that have been made to be identical and manufactured in the same way, and thus appear identical to the human eye. It is to a solid object what a fingerprint is to a person, but with vastly more detail and associated with vastly higher recognition and authentication confidence. Of the plethora of various objects, we have FeaturePrinted and identified, we have never made a high-confidence mistake.
