Abstract: A system for collecting fake identification documents includes a central controller coupled to scanners and external systems. The scanners scan identification documents and report images of fake or suspected fake identification documents to the central controller. Documents may be automatically detected as fake by matching against known fake ID templates or by detecting that information extracted from the document appears manufactured or incorrect. Documents may also be manually flagged as suspicious by scanner operators either on-the-fly during routine scanning or in batch operations. Scanned documents may further be sent from scanner to central controller during audit events. The central controller enables human review if desired, and, when reported documents are confirmed to be fake, images of the fake IDs along with metadata thereof are added to a fake ID database. The external systems are then notified and may retrieve fake ID templates from the database for a variety of applications.

Abstract: An access control system includes identification document scanners installed at multiple vendor locations. A first local controller at a first vendor location by default controls one or more lock actuators to be in a locked configuration. An identification document scanner scans an identification document provided by a user at the first vendor location. The first local controller validates whether the identification document is authentic and passes user information obtained from the identification document to a central controller. The first local controller then controls one or more of the lock actuators to temporarily enter an unlocked configuration and thereby grant the user access to one or more products in response to determining that the identification document is authentic and receiving a ban status from a central controller indicating that the user is not banned for access. An access history log allows vendor staff to view access attempts and ban users.

Abstract: A document scanner includes an enclosure with a scanning area. A transparent platform in the scanning area allows a user to position a document for authentication. A top camera takes a picture of the top of the document and a bottom camera takes a picture of the bottom under multiple light conditions including UV, IR, and white light. Mirrors reduce the enclosure size and multiple computers within the enclosure share work to process image data and determine document type. Types are searched in order based historically detected types. Barcode data is decoded and image samples are filtered as one of the computers finds a match. Security features are checked for the detected type and fake variants of the detected type are checked. Card information and formatting is validated and face data captured from a face camera and as shown on the document are matched against a database of banned users.
