Identity Document Presentation Attack Detection in Visible Light with Illumination-Controlled Scanner

A reliable sign of the absence of a document presentation attack, when a print copy is presented instead of the original document, is the presence of such security features as OVDs (Optical Variable Devices), for example, holograms. To check the presence of holograms, it is sufficient to use the visible light and a series of document images captured with a varying angle of incidence and reflection of light. It can be achieved either by changing the position of the document or by changing the position of the illumination source. This work proposes a method for detecting holograms on identity documents using a scanner with controlled illumination. The method is based on obtaining a series of document images in various illumination modes and identifying features characteristic of holograms. To test the method, a dataset MIDV-Holo-Scan was collected by scanning physical documents used in the creation of the open dataset MIDV-Holo. It includes both documents with holograms, accepted in this work as originals, and documents without holograms, simulating an attack on document presentation. The proposed method for detecting attacks on document presentation achieves a quality of Accuracy = 100%, which surpasses the quality of the baseline method published with the MIDV-Holo dataset.

Abstract

A reliable sign of the absence of a document presentation attack, when a print copy is presented instead of the original document, is the presence of such security features as OVDs (Optical Variable Devices), for example, holograms. To check the presence of holograms, it is sufficient to use the visible light and a series of document images captured with a varying angle of incidence and reflection of light. It can be achieved either by changing the position of the document or by changing the position of the illumination source. This work proposes a method for detecting holograms on identity documents using a scanner with controlled illumination. The method is based on obtaining a series of document images in various illumination modes and identifying features characteristic of holograms. To test the method, a dataset MIDV-Holo-Scan was collected by scanning physical documents used in the creation of the open dataset MIDV-Holo. It includes both documents with holograms, accepted in this work as originals, and documents without holograms, simulating an attack on document presentation. The proposed method for detecting attacks on document presentation achieves a quality of Accuracy = 100%, which surpasses the quality of the baseline method published with the MIDV-Holo dataset.
