Sensors based on this principle feature a band gap covering the typical input span of the measurand as well as a narrow transmission peak within the band gap where the frequency of maximum transmission is governed by the measurand. This approach has been applied for determination of volumetric properties of liquids (Lucklum et al. in Sens Actuators B Chem 171-172:271-277, 2012; Oseev et al. in Sens Actuators B Chem 189:208-212, 2013; Lucklum and Li in Meas Sci Technol 20(12):124014, 2009) and has demonstrated attractive sensitivity. One way to improve sensitivity requires higher probing frequencies in the range of 100 MHz and above. In this range surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are an established basis for sensors. We have performed first tests towards a PnC microsensors (Lucklum et al. in Towards a SAW based phononic crystal sensor platform. In: 2013 Joint European frequency and time forum and international frequency control symposium (EFTF/IFC), pp 69-72, 2013). The respective feature size of the PnC SAW sensor has dimensions in the range of 10 µm and below. Whereas those dimensions are state of the art for common MEMS materials, etching of holes and cavities in piezoelectric materials that have an aspect ratio diameter/depth is still challenging.

The concept utilizes 29 image features which are supposed to allow for a reliable model creation during supervised learning. The evaluation of the trained models indicates average accuracies between 82.50 and 94.53\%. The investigation of image data from 8 sensors leads to the detection of credible pre-processing filters. Those results adumbrate that our method might be suitable to prove the authenticity of the data origin and the integrity of image data based on the detected preprocessing techniques.
