  • Patent number: 12216745
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for bot detection. A movement of a pointing device is tracked via a graphical user interface (GUI) of an application executable at a user device. Movement data associated with different locations of the pointing device within the GUI is obtained. The movement data is mapped to functional areas corresponding to a range of the different locations of the pointing device within the GUI over consecutive time intervals. At least one vector representing a sequence of movements for at least one trajectory of the pointing device through one or more of the functional areas and a duration the pointing device stays within each functional area is generated. At least one trained machine learning model is used to determine whether the sequence of movements of the pointing device was produced through human interaction with the pointing device by an actual user of the user device.

  • Publication number: 20240320471
    Abstract: Techniques for predicting whether a submission includes a forged image. A computer system receives a submission from a user that includes an image and image metadata, such as an identifier for the user and a User-Agent string value. An image pixel embedding is generated from the image, and a profile embedding is generated from the image metadata. The image embedding is indicative of whether the image is similar to known image forgeries. The profile embedding is generated from a user activity embedding indicative of User-Agent values associated with the user identifier. The profile embedding is generated using a machine learning model that uses stored parameters to associate user activity, device information, and forgery groups. The profile embedding thus indicates whether the user is associated with known image forgeries. The image pixel embedding and profile embedding are then used by a neural network to output a forgery prediction.

  • Publication number: 20240311614
    Abstract: Systems and/or techniques for facilitating image forgery detection via headpose estimation may include a system that can receive a document from a client device. The system can identify, by executing a first trained machine learning model, an object that is depicted in the document. The system can determine, by executing a second trained machine learning model, a pose of the object. The system can determine, by executing a third trained machine learning model, whether the document is authentic or forged based on the pose of the object. The system can, in response to determining that the document is forged, transmit an unsuccessful validation message to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20240144728
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for signed document image analysis and fraud detection. An image of a document may be received from a user's device. A first layer of a machine learning engine is used to identify a signature and a name of the user within different areas of the received image. A second layer of the machine learning engine is used to extract a plurality of features from the different areas of the image. The plurality of features includes at least one visual feature representing the signature and at least one textual feature representing the name. A combined feature representation of the signature and the name is generated based on the plurality of features extracted from the image. A third layer of the machine learning engine is used to determine whether the signature of the user has been digitally altered, based on the combined feature representation.

  • Patent number: 11922732
    Abstract: A liveness detection system uses a combination of interactive and silent tests to verify physical presence of a live person at a client device. The system superimposes a box on a live video of the space in front of the client device and instructs the user to move to a position that places his or her face within the box. While the user's face is within the box, the system captures a sequence of frames from the video while an amount of illumination cast on the user's face is switched between bright and dark levels according to a random, semi-random, or predefined flash sequence. The system analyzes the resulting sequence of frames to confirm that the user's head pose is consistent with the location of the box, and that changes in brightness of the image of the user's face across the captured frames are consistent with the flash sequence.

  • Publication number: 20230419715
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for detecting physical tampering on a document based on analyzing an image of the document. When the image of the document is obtained, multiple contours are identified in the image based on pixel characteristics of the image. Dimension attributes of the contours are determined. Contours that are determined to correspond to borders or texts of the documents based on the dimension attributes are eliminated. A second text detection process based on a polygon method is performed on at least one remaining contour to determine whether the at least one remaining contour links multiple text elements together. The document is determined to have been physically manipulated when at least on contour remains in the image.
