SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DOCUMENT AUTHENTICATION

A system for authenticating a subject identification document includes instructions causing a processor to receive a first image of the document, depicting, in RGB color space, the document illuminated by UV light, and transform the first image to a second image in YCbCr color space. The instructions cause the processor to divide the second image into regions of interest (ROIs), and, for each ROI, generate a color profile descriptor including first data elements associated with pixel color in the YCbCr color space, and second data elements associated with pixel intensity of pixels within the ROI. The instructions also cause the processor to generate a score for the second image based on a comparison of the color profile descriptor for each ROI to a corresponding ROI of an enrolled document template, and compare the score to a threshold to determine whether the document is authenticated.
