Abstract
Most approaches for product counterfeit detection are based on identification using some unique marks or properties implemented into each single product or its package. In this paper we investigate a classification approach involving existing packaging only in order to avoid higher production costs involved with marking each individual product. To detect counterfeit packages, images of the package’s interior showing the plain structure of the paperboard are captured. Using various texture features and SVM classification we are able to distinguish drug packages coming from different manufacturers and also forged packages with high accuracy while a distinction between single packages of the same manufacturer is not possible.
