Abstract EN
Verification of scanned document authenticity is important for digital archiving, information security, and forensic analysis. This paper proposes a reconstruction error-based method for detecting structural anomalies in scanned documents. A convolutional autoencoder is trained on authentic document patches and used to generate reconstruction error maps. These maps are then classified by a CNN to distinguish the original scans from the reproduced samples. Experiments on a controlled dataset show that reconstruction error maps provide discriminative information for detecting artefacts introduced by document reproduction. The results should be interpreted as a proof of concept for controlled reproduction detection rather than as a complete solution for all real-world forgery scenarios.
