# docverify — payslip tampering detection

A forensic segmentation network that finds **where a payslip was edited** — copy-move, splice from
another document, or a re-typed amount — and the small models and thresholds that turn its pixel
map into a verdict an analyst can act on.

Part of **docverify**, a complete system with arithmetic checks, PDF forensics and a local LLM note:

## Files

| File | What it is |
|---|---|
| `tampernet.onnx` | the served model — ONNX FP32, 1.56× faster than PyTorch on CPU, identical decisions |
| `tampernet.pt` | the same weights for PyTorch |
| `threshold.json` | page threshold 7.86 (5% false alarms on genuine payslips), field threshold 9.19 (1% of genuine pages rated high risk) |
| `siglip_probe.json` | linear probe on frozen Google SigLIP image embeddings: payslip / RIB / invoice |
| `version.txt` | release `2` |

## Model

**TamperNet** (~33M parameters): a pretrained ConvNeXt encoder on RGB, plus two forensic inputs —
fixed **SRM noise residual** filters (edits break the sensor/print noise) and a **JPEG/DCT** branch
(a pasted region carries its own 8×8 compression grid) — fused into a U-Net-style decoder that
outputs one logit per pixel. The page score is the mean of the top-200 pixel logits.

Inference runs at full resolution (1000 × 1414 px pages, padded to a multiple of 32 to keep the JPEG grid).

## Results

Frozen test split: 793 synthetic payslips (390 genuine, 403 forged), never seen in training.

| Metric | v2 (this release) | v1 (U-Net) |
|---|---|---|
| ROC-AUC | **0.902** | 0.877 |
| Forgeries caught at 1% false alarms | **61%** | 55% |
| Forgeries caught at 5% false alarms | **72%** | 66% |
| Pixel F1 on forged pages | **0.81** | 0.77 |
| Pixel IoU | **0.68** | 0.62 |

| Segment (recall at 5% false alarms) | v2 |
|---|---|
| Splice (pasted from another document) | 90% |
| Copy-move (inside the document) | 77% |
| Rewritten amount | 50% |
| Scanned | 77% |
| Phone photo | 63% |

Rewritten amounts are the hard case for pixels alone. In the full system, seven payslip
arithmetic rules raise recall on them from 56% to 92%, and on all forgeries to **95% at 1.7% false
alarms** (240-document OCR subset):

## Speed

A full page needs ~4 GB of RAM and ~5 s on 4 CPU threads (~0.44 s on a T4).

## Limits

- **Synthetic data only.** Trained and evaluated on generated French payslips (Faker `fr_FR`, fake
  people and companies). Never measured on real documents.
- Built for one layout family (French payslips). Other documents need adaptation; the forensic
  branches are generic.
- It flags; it does not decide. In docverify, a human analyst always makes the decision.
- EU AI Act: fraud detection is excluded from the Annex III 5(b) high-risk category. Using this
  score directly to grant or refuse credit would not be.
