Regular Test Pattern Datasets

Table of content

Overview

This web-page is dedicated to public databases of Regular Test Patterns printed using rotogravure prinitng process using two cylinders C1 and C2 and two presses P1 and P2. These datasets are used in the paper Authentication of rotogravure print-outs using a regular test pattern and Printed packaging authentication: similarity metric learning for rotogravure manufacture process identification. Please cite the corresponding papers while using these datasets in your academic work.

Dataset

We worked with a regular test pattern E (see Fig.a) printed using two presses (P1 and P2) and two types of engraving cylinders: 1) two cylinders engraved using chemical etching (C1 and C2); and 2) a cylinder engraved using electro-mechanical process (M1). The samples printed using the cylinders engraved using chemical etching (Fig.b-c) differ a lot from the samples printed using the electro-mechanically engraved cylinder (Fig.d-e). Additionally, we studied the impact of the printing support used, using the regular test patterns printed on: 1) thin aluminium foils - called blisters (letter 'b' in the table); and 2) thick aluminium foils - called strips (letter 's' in the table). The details about the data set used are given in the following Table:
