Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for verifying the authenticity of diploma pictures, belonging to the field of Internet technology. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development and application of information technology, diploma serves as an important basis for evaluating an individual's academic level and ability. In the processes of recruitment, talent selection, social networking, etc., it is often necessary to upload scanned copies or photos of diplomas through Internet platforms or institutional online service systems and conduct authenticity verification. The traditional methods for verifying the authenticity of diplomas mainly rely on manual inspection and querying official databases. The method of querying official databases is relatively inefficient, requiring multiple steps of inspection, and the paper-based manual verification method cannot effectively distinguish authenticity. Therefore, it is very meaningful to develop a method and system for verifying the authenticity of diploma pictures. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to enable the authenticity verification of diploma pictures to be completed in a simpler, more efficient, and secure manner.

[0007] Perform rule verification based on the parsed content information to obtain a rule verification result;

[0008] Step 3: Determine the authenticity verification result of the target picture based on the pre-verification result of the feature information of the target picture and the rule verification result of the content information of the target picture.

[0009] Preferably, in Step 1, the target picture includes a complete and clear diploma.

[0010] Preferably, in Step 1, when the target subject in the target picture is detected, the feature information and the content information of the target picture are parsed.

[0011] Preferably, the target subject includes the feature information and the content information unique to the diploma. The feature information includes certificate format, institutional seal, font, and the content information includes the photo of the certificate holder, name, gender, date of birth, school name, graduation year, education level, and diploma code.

[0012] Preferably, in step 2, the pre-verification includes classification pre-verification, reshooting pre-verification, and tampering pre-verification:

[0013] In the classification pre-verification: Process the picture, input the classification model trained according to the format of the certificate picture, and determine whether the format of the target picture is correct;

[0014] In the reshooting pre-verification: By extracting 10 statistical features including the mean value of the R channel, the mean value of the G channel, the mean value of the B channel, the variance of the R channel, the variance of the G channel, the variance of the B channel, the gray variance, the gray mean, the 32-bit gradient histogram, and the 32-bit gray histogram in the feature area of the target picture, input the extracted statistical features into the deep learning model, and judge the input features according to the discriminant model based on 10 statistical features pre-trained to confirm whether the picture has been reshot;

[0015] In the tampering pre-verification: Construct a data set composed of tampering with key areas, and a binary classification model of tampering and non-tampering trained based on the ResNet18 model.

[0032] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the module composition of the authenticity verification system for academic certificate pictures provided by one or more embodiments of this specification. Specific implementation manners

[0033] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of this application.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , one aspect of the embodiment of the present invention discloses an authenticity verification method for academic certificate pictures, including the following steps:

[0035] Step 1, obtain a target picture, where the target picture needs to contain a complete academic certificate.

[0036] Step 2, obtain the feature information of the target picture, where the obtained feature information includes but is not limited to information such as certificate format, institutional seal, and font. The target picture is pre-verified in three layers: classification, reshooting, and tampering through the extracted feature information:

[0037] The first layer, process the picture, input the classification model trained according to the certificate picture format, and determine whether the target picture format is correct;

[0038] The second layer, extract 10 statistical features of the feature area of the target picture, including the mean value of the R channel, the mean value of the G channel, the mean value of the B channel, the variance of the R channel, the variance of the G channel, the variance of the B channel, the gray variance, the gray mean value, the 32-bit gradient histogram, and the 32-bit gray histogram. Input the extracted statistical features into the deep learning model, and judge the input features according to the discriminant model based on 10 statistical features pre-trained to confirm whether the picture has been reshot.

[0039] The third layer, construct a data set composed of tampering with key areas, and a two-classification model for tampering and non-tampering trained based on the ResNet18 model (a deep convolutional neural network). Extract the image of the feature area of the target picture and input it into the two-classification model to judge whether the picture has been tampered with.

[0040] Step 3: Obtain the content information of the target image, where the obtained academic certificate content information includes but is not limited to the certificate holder's photo, name, gender, date of birth, school name, graduation year, education level, graduation certificate code, etc. The extracted content information is checked for 8 rules, based on the official restrictions on certificate specifications and multi-factor comparison of the extracted content with the user's real personal information, to determine whether the image content information is legal.

[0041] Step 4: Determine the authenticity verification result of the target image based on the pre-verification result of the feature information of the target image and the verification result of the content information of the target image.

[0042] As a feature example, classification pre-verification is performed by base64 encoding the target image, decoding the system to obtain an RGB array, scaling the target image to 224*224 size according to the RGB array, and performing classification pre-verification on the target image feature information through a classification model trained based on a sample of academic certificate and the ResNet model (a deep convolutional neural network).

[0043] As a feature example, the pre-check of the copy is carried out by base64 encoding the target image. After the system decodes it, 10 feature data are extracted, including R channel mean, G channel mean, B channel mean, R channel variance, G channel variance, B channel variance, grayscale variance, grayscale mean, 32-bit gradient histogram, and 32-bit grayscale histogram, a total of 72 dimensions of features. The feature information of the target image is pre-checked through the LBP features extracted based on the open source moiré dataset and the classification model trained by the ResNet101 model (a deep convolutional neural network).

[0044] As a feature example, tampering pre-verification is achieved by constructing a pre-trained tampering and non-tampering binary classification model, where the binary classification model is based on the ResNet18 model (a deep convolutional neural network), and the dataset consists of normal academic certificate images and tampered images of normal images; the input target image is pre-verified for tampering through the constructed tampering and non-tampering binary classification model.

[0045] As an example of a feature, the content information of the target image is obtained. The content information can be completed by a manufacturer that specializes in providing universal text recognition capabilities for academic certificate images, and the content information includes but is not limited to the certificate holder's photo, name, gender, date of birth, school name, graduation year, education level, graduation certificate code, and other information.

[0046] As a feature example, rule verification is performed on the content information of the obtained target image. The rule verification includes two categories of a total of 8 rule verifications. The two categories are: verification based on the certificate specification restrictions announced by the official, and multi-factor comparison verification based on the extracted content and the user's personal real information. The total of 8 rule verifications include: student name verification, student gender verification, student date of birth verification, school name verification, graduation year verification, education level verification, education code verification, and portrait photo verification.

[0047] As a feature example, the verification based on the certificate specification restrictions announced by the official includes graduation year verification, school name verification, education level verification, and education code verification:

[0048] The graduation year verification is to compare whether the 7th to 10th digits of the certificate number are consistent with the graduation year on the certificate;

[0049] The school name verification is to compare whether the first 5 digits of the certificate number are consistent with the school name on the certificate, and the corresponding relationship between the code and the name can be verified through the list information of higher education institutions announced by the Ministry of Education;

[0050] The education level verification is to compare whether the 11th to 12th digits of the certificate number are consistent with the education level on the certificate, and the corresponding relationship between the number and the education level is shown in Table 1;

[0051] The education code verification is based on the publicly announced coding rules. The first 5 digits are the national standard codes of schools or other educational institutions; the 6th digit is the school-running type code; the 7th to 10th digits are the year; the 11th to 12th digits are the training level codes; the 13th to 17th digits are the serial numbers arranged by the school for graduation (completion) certificates, and the rules are

[0052] Table 1:

[0053]

[0054]

[0055] As a feature example, the verification based on multi-factor comparison of the extracted content and the user's personal real information includes student name verification, student gender verification, student date of birth verification, and portrait photo verification:

[0056] The student name verification is to compare whether the student name on the certificate is consistent with the name of the person who uploaded the certificate photo;

[0057] The student gender verification is to compare whether the student gender on the certificate is consistent with the gender of the person who uploaded the certificate photo;

[0058] The student date of birth verification is to compare whether the student date of birth on the certificate is consistent with the date of birth of the person who uploaded the certificate photo;

[0059] The verification of the portrait photo is to compare whether the portrait on the certificate is consistent with the portrait photo of the uploader.

[0060] As an example of features, the authenticity verification result is based on the pre-verification result of the feature information of the target picture and the verification result of the content information of the target picture. The pre-verification based on the feature information of the target picture needs to adjust the corresponding threshold and the weight ratio of the verification according to the maturity of the basic ability components. The rule verification based on the content information of the target picture needs to pass all verifications. If any one verification fails, the verification fails.

[0063] Academic certificate content information parsing module: When the target picture uploaded by the user is complete, it is used to parse the target picture uploaded by the user to obtain the content information of the target picture, including but not limited to the photo of the certificate holder, name, gender, date of birth, school name, graduation year, education level, graduation certificate code and other information;
