Abstract

A method of reading and quantifying pressure points or bumps or a product outline to extract a pattern that, when decoded, uniquely defines a product or class of products by defining the theoretical centers of applied pressure, determining the spatial relationship between more than one center or a product outline to define which pattern belongs to which product, and correlating each pattern with templates of stored patterns to determine what product is represented by each respective pattern.
