Abstract: Forensic method for identifying forged documents. For each of a stream of incoming jpeg images, using a processor configured for determining whether jpeg image/s is a replacement forgery by determining whether a first portion of individual image which resides at a known location (known likely to be replaced by forger) within the individual jpeg image has been replaced, including: indicator, face-djpg, for the first portion at known location; computing indicator, aka nonface-djpg, for a second portion of individual image which resides at a comparison location within the jpeg image known as unlikely to be replaced by a forger; and determining whether face-djpg and nonface-djpg fulfill predetermined logical criterion and deciding whether the individual jpeg image is a replacement forgery accordingly.

Abstract: A data analytics system/method operative in conjunction with a data repository storing data regarding each of a multiplicity of frames including images of ID documents, including receiving at least one image generated by an image capturing device such as a camera or scanner; providing document data, derived by a hardware processor from the image capturing device, which characterizes a document depicted in the image; providing person data, derived by a hardware processor from the image, which characterizes a person who may bear the document depicted in the image; and generating inputs for identification of potential fraudulent attempts including analyzing whether the document data exists within the data regarding each of the multiplicity of images of ID documents; and/or analyzing whether the person data exists within the data regarding each of the multiplicity of images of ID documents.

Abstract: A system for computerized authentication of a laminated object, the system comprising a digital medium storing a digital image of at least a portion of the laminated object in a computer-implemented memory; a shininess analyzer operative, using a processor, to generate shininess data quantifying shininess of the digital image; and a parameterized computerized authentication sub-system operative to differentially perform at least one laminated object authentication operation based on the shininess data.

Abstract: System differentiating “legitimate” images generated by scanning physical documents from “forged” document images, the system comprising a trained classifier, configured to sort a stream of incoming images into two classes including a first (“legitimate”) class of images generated by scanning physical documents; and a second (“forged”) class of images including images at least partly generated by a graphics editor rather than by scanning a physical document; and an output device operative to present, to an end-user, an output identifying, for at least one image I, whether said image I belongs to said first class or said second class; and an output device configured, responsive to classifications generated by the trained classifier, to provide an output indication of whether each of a plurality of images is generated by scanning a physical document, or is at least partly generated by a graphics editor.

Abstract: A scanned image authentication system employing at least one image authentication station which is unable to process scanned images which do not belong to at least one individual scanned image category, the system comprising a gateway image processor operative for on-line filtering of an incoming scanned image to determine whether or not the incoming scanned image belongs to the scanned image category, and a computer-implemented interface operative to transmit each individual scanned image to the at least one image authentication station only if the gateway image processor has determined that the individual scanned image belongs to the at least one individual scanned image category.

Abstract: A document forgery detection method comprising using at least one processor for providing at least one histogram of gray level values occurring in at least a portion of at least one channel of an image assumed to represent a document including text, the histogram having been generated by image processing at least a portion of at least one channel of an image assumed to represent a document including text, the image having been sent by a remote end user to an online service over a computer network, evaluating monotony of at least a portion of the at least one histogram; and determining whether the image is authentic or forged based on at least one output of the evaluating.
