Abstract: 

The ink reflectance strongly depends on its opacity and on the color of the body on which it is printed. In this paper, we focus on this problem, which is linked to ink transparency. We propose some attributes, which are invariant to the background color and to the quantity of ink printed. Some experimental results prove the theorical results. Then, these attributes are used to segment inked markings. Finally, the proposed approach is used in an application of traceability control of meat products, where an identifier has to be detected on hams.

Résumé

La réflectance de l'encre dépend fortement de son opacité et de la couleur du support sur lequel elle est imprimée. Dans cet article, nous étudions tout particulièrement ce problème, qui est lié à la notion de transparence. Nous proposons des caractéristiques invariantes à la couleur du support, mais également des attributs invariants par rapport à la quantité d'encre imprimée. Des résultats expérimentaux valident les résultats théoriques obtenus. Ces attributs de constance colorimétrique sont exploités ensuite dans le cadre d'un algorithme de segmentation de marquages effectués à l'encre. Finalement, l'approche proposée est appliquée dans le cadre de la traçabilité de la viande porcine, où un identifiant doit être détecté sur des jambons.
