  • Publication number: 20230147685
    Abstract: Described are methods and systems for training a system for detecting anomalies in images of documents in a class of documents. A plurality of training document images of training documents in a class of documents are obtained. For each training document image, the training document image is segmented into a plurality of region of interest (ROI) images, each ROI image corresponding to a respective ROI of the training document. For each ROI image, a plurality of transformations are applied to the ROI image to generate respective transform-specific features for the ROI image and respective transform-specific anomaly scores from the transform-specific features. Based on the respective anomaly scores of the plurality of training document images, a transform-specific threshold is computed for each transformation to separate document images containing an anomaly from document images not containing an anomaly.

  • Publication number: 20220351532
    Abstract: Described are methods and systems for detecting fraud in documents. First images of a first set of genuine documents and second images of a second set of genuine documents are obtained. A printed feature, spacings between printed features in the first images, and positions of printed features in the second images are selected. Selected features, spacings and positions are annotated to obtain original landmark locations for each printed feature, spacing and position. Annotated features, spacings and positions are transformed to obtain transformed features, transformed spacings and transformed positions. The transformed features, spacings and positions are combined with a noise model to generate modified features, modified spacings and modified positions. Each modified feature, modified spacing and modified position comprises annotations indicating modified landmark locations. Input data for a machine learning model is generated using original landmark locations and modified landmark locations.
