Fake Receipt Fraud Detection
Expense fraud costs enterprises millions annually through fabricated receipts, inflated totals, and AI-generated purchase proofs. Sightova's document forensics engine catches what manual review cannot — at the speed of submission.
Forensic Capabilities
QUERY: SELECT * FROM receipt_analysis_modulesFont Consistency Analysis
Examine typeface rendering across the entire document surface. Detect mixed font engines, kerning irregularities, and anti-aliasing mismatches that indicate text was inserted or altered after the original print.
Pixel Manipulation Detection
Perform error-level analysis and clone detection to expose regions where pixel values have been mathematically altered — totals changed, dates shifted, or line items added to legitimate receipt templates.
Template Matching Engine
Compare submitted documents against a continuously updated library of authentic receipt formats from major POS systems, airlines, hotels, and ride-share platforms to spot structural anomalies.
Metadata Verification
Extract and validate creation timestamps, software fingerprints, and editing history embedded in document metadata. Flag receipts generated by design tools instead of point-of-sale systems.
Shadow & Lighting Analysis
Analyze light direction, paper texture gradients, and shadow casting in photographed receipts to distinguish genuine captures from composited or digitally manufactured images posing as real photos.
OCR Cross-Referencing
Extract all text via OCR and validate arithmetic consistency, tax calculations, merchant ID formats, and date logic. Catch receipts where totals don't add up or merchant details reference non-existent businesses.
Every Receipt Tells a Story in Its Pixels
Fabricated receipts have evolved from crude Photoshop edits to sophisticated AI-generated documents with realistic thermal paper textures and accurate merchant formatting. Sightova goes beyond surface appearance — analyzing compression layers, font rendering pipelines, and mathematical consistency to expose fraud that fools human reviewers.
