Russia unveils first multispectral scanner with built-in AI

The scanner created by Smart Engines and Intek combines an optical module and a built-in computing unit - a full-fledged computer that performs the AI algorithms necessary for making decisions about authenticity. Smart Engines explained:

Previously, the image was transmitted to a laptop or workstation for analysis, but now the entire process takes place locally. The scanner does not require complex integration and is compatible with a wide range of computing platforms, including solutions based on domestic operating systems.

The scanner solves two tasks simultaneously - extracts the contents of documents and enters data into the corresponding fields, and also performs authentication. The built-in AI checks the document in three ranges (optical, ultraviolet, and infrared) and identifies more than 80 signs of forgery.

The system analyzes the originality and security features of the document form (protective fluorescent fibers, fluorescent inks, etc.), detects mechanical interference in the document itself, including photo re-gluing and other data manipulations. In addition, the AI also performs cross-validation of the main spread data with the machine-readable zone (MRZ) data, checks the chip and the validity of the document.

The module allows you to check the authenticity of not only Russian documents, but also passports of foreigners from all countries of the world and national identity cards of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan.
