METHOD OF VALIDATION INTENDED TO VALIDATE THAT AN ELEMENT IS COVERED BY A TRUE SKIN

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of validation intended to validate that an element (10) is covered by a true skin and implemented by a validation device (100) comprising a light source (102) having at least one wavelength, a sensor (104), an analysis module (106) and a decision taking module (108), said validation method comprising: - a step of positioning in the course of which a surface of said element (10) is placed in front of the light source (102) and the sensor (104), - a step of illumination in the course of which the light source (102) illuminates the surface of said element (10), - a step of capture for capturing, by means of said sensor (104), for the or each wavelength, an image of said element (10) thus positioned which encompasses an illuminated zone of said element (10) illuminated directly by the light beam emitted by the light source (102) and a peripheral zone termed the diffusion zone of said element (10) which is peripheral to said illuminated zone, - a step of analysis in the course of which the illuminated zone and the diffusion zone of the or each image thus captured are analysed, and - a step of decision taking in the course of which the decision taking module (108) takes a decision regarding the fact that said element (10) is covered by a true skin as a function of the results of the analysis step.
