You only need a photograph of the key to duplicate key: UC San Diego computer scientists have built a software program that can perform key duplication without having the key. Instead, the computer scientists only need a photograph of the key. The bumps and valleys on house or office keys represent a numeric code that completely describes how to open a particular lock. If a key doesn’t encode this precise “bitting code,” then it won’t open the door. In one demonstration of the new software system, the computer scientists took pictures of common residential house keys with a cell phone camera, fed the image into their software which then produced the information needed to create identical copies. In another example, they used a five inch telephoto lens to capture images from the roof of a campus building and duplicate keys sitting on a café table about 200 feet away.
