Description
Summary:Counterfeiting has been one of the crimes of the 21st century. One of the methods to overcome product counterfeiting is a copy detection pattern (CDP) stamped on the product. CDP is a copy-sensitive pattern that leads to quality degradation of the pattern after the print and scan process. The amount of information loss is used to distinguish between original and fake CDPs. This paper proposed a CDP estimation model based on the convolutional neural network (CNN), namely, CDP-CNN. The CDP-CNN addresses the spatial dependency of the image patch. Thus, it should be better than the state-of-the-art model that uses a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) architecture. The proposed model had an estimation bit error rate (BER) of 9.91% on the batch estimation method. The error rate was 9% lower than the previous method that used an autoencoder MLP model. The proposed model also had a lower number of parameters compared to the previous method. The effect of preprocessing, namely the use of an unsharp mask, was tested using a statistical testing method. The effect of preprocessing had no significant difference except in the batch estimation scheme where the unsharp mask filter reduced the error rate by at least 0.5%. In addition, the proposed model was also used for the authentication method. The authentication using the estimation model had a good separation distribution to distinguish the fake and original CDPs. Thus, the CDP can still be used as the authentication method with reliable performance. It helps anti-counterfeiting on product distribution and reduces negative impacts on various sectors of the economy.
