Abstract
A system for detecting and characterizing media includes a light source, at least two sensors, and a media identification system. The light source is positioned to emit at least a portion of an illumination light towards a media path for media. The sensors are positioned to capture at least specular light and transmitted light from the emitted illumination light directed towards the media path for the media. The media identification system characterizes the media based on the captured specular and transmitted light
