Abstract
An object is protected against counterfeiting by an article including an HVS-perceivable target and HVS-perceivable texture surrounding the target. The texture produces a gentle HVS stimulus modulation. Color of the target has a higher saliency than that of the texture, whereby the texture provides camouflage for the target. Location of the target with respect to the texture is a function of a serial number or other information about the object.
