The invention discloses a moire pattern anti-fake method based on a linear
grating. The moire pattern anti-fake method specifically comprises the steps that firstly, a
background color block is established, and four channels in the
background color block are separated; secondly, screening
processing is carried out on the channels, the net points of the channel in which hidden information is embedded are in a straight line shape, and the rest of the channels are circular; thirdly, a hidden image is manufactured; fourthly, a
digital image comprising the hidden information is manufactured; fifthly, the linear
grating is manufactured; sixthly, the hidden information is extracted. The hidden information is embedded in one channel on which screening is carried out through the straight line, conventional net point screening is adopted for the other channels, and finally the hidden information is extracted through the matched linear
grating. The
digital image in which the hidden information is embedded has a very good hiding effect; when the hidden information is extracted, the hidden information is highlighted through the sharp contrast of the
area density and the color displaying of the hidden channel, the displaying definition of the hidden information is improved, and therefore the moire pattern anti-fake quality is improved.
