Abstract: A method is provided for constructing a composite image having an authentication image formed therein. The authentication image is viewable using a decoder lens having one or more decoder lens frequencies. The method includes generating two gray-scale component images having tonal areas that are tonally balanced around at least one tonal value. At least one of the two gray-scale component images includes a representation of the authentication image. The method further includes determining a first pattern of the component image elements for the two gray-scale component images, the first pattern including a first element configuration and at least one element frequency that is equal to or a multiple of one of the decoder lens frequencies. The method includes extracting at least a portion of the content from the component image elements of the two gray-scale component images and constructing a composite image having a second pattern of composite image elements.

Abstract: An authenticatable object comprises a surface having a latent hidden image embossed therein. The latent image is an encoded version of an authentication image and comprises a plurality of elements applied to the surface with a predetermined frequency. The latent hidden image is configured for optical decoding by a decoder having a decoder frequency corresponding to the predetermined frequency.

Abstract: A method is provided for producing an authenticatable object that includes providing a decoder lens having a lens pattern and providing an array of image elements having an image pattern that corresponds to the lens pattern. The decoder lens is disposed a substantially uniform distance from the array of image elements such that the decoder lens reveals a visible image that includes at least a portion of the image elements, the image elements being adjusted in size by a zoom factor so that the visible image appears to float above a given plane when viewed at different angles through the decoder lens. Alternatively, the image elements may be adjusted in size by a zoom factor and selected image elements may be flipped so that the visible image appears to float above a given plane in different directions when viewed at different angles through the decoder lens.

Abstract: A reflective decoding device is provided for use in decoding an encoded image comprising a latent image encoded using at least one encoding parameter. The device comprises a substrate with a reflective surface portion having a surface topography comprising a predetermined pattern of topographical features. The predetermined pattern is configured with at least one geometric characteristic corresponding to the at least one encoding parameter so that placement of a light-transmissive sheet having the encoded image formed thereon over the predetermined pattern of topographical features allows the latent image to be viewed.
