Abstract: A system for evaluating the effectiveness of an anti-counterfeiting measure employed for an item is provided. The system trains a classifier to indicate whether the anti-counterfeiting measure of an evaluation item is genuine or counterfeit. For evaluation items that have been classified as genuine or counterfeit, the system applies the classifier to determine whether the anti-counterfeiting measure of that evaluation item is genuine or counterfeit. The system then generates an effectiveness metric that indicates whether the anti-counterfeiting measure is effective based on evaluation items that are assessed as being genuine whose anti-counterfeiting measures are classified as being counterfeit.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a physical object comprises, during a process of manufacturing the physical object by a machine, capturing image data of at least a portion of the physical object and other sensor data related to the machine or to the at least a portion of the physical object. The method further comprises, during the process of manufacturing the physical object, for each of the plurality of pixels of the image data, coregistering the image data with the other sensor data on a pixel-by-pixel basis, storing the coregistered image data and other sensor data in association with each other in a data structure, and using at least a portion of the coregistered image data and other sensor to detect an anomaly in the physical object or in the process of manufacturing the physical object.
