- The proposed capture sequence uses 28 images, including UV-A, infrared, raking-light views, and a laser profile.
Field notes
The proposed workflow holds cards in a fine edge groove, photographs each face in multiple lighting conditions, and uses computer vision to assess centering, corners, edges, and surface. The page specifies a 63 × 88 mm cradle and says borderline authenticity cases go to a person. These are presented as system design details; the first unit is still in prototyping, with event pilots planned for 2027.
