Method for determining the authenticity of a document based on computer colorimetry

Abstract

Determining the authenticity of documents is an important task when conducting investigative measures. In practice, for the examination of documents to determine the prescription of their creation, a spectral method is used, in which it is necessary to make clippings from the document under study, which leads to damage to the document under study, and also requires the use of expensive equipment, which affects the price of the examination of the document. The article describes a method for determining the authenticity of a document based on computer colorimetry, which does not require expensive equipment for conducting an examination. This method for determining the authenticity of a document uses a change in the color of the strokes of a ballpoint pen over time, which is caused by the drying of the solvent in the ink of the pen, and also lacks the disadvantage of the need to damage the document under study.
