TL;DR: EdgeDoc is a document forgery detection method using a lightweight convolutional transformer and noiseprint features.

Abstract: The widespread availability of tools for manipulating images and documents has made it increasingly easy to forge digital documents, posing a serious threat to Know Your Customer (KYC) processes and remote onboarding systems. Detecting such forgeries is essential to preserving the integrity and security of these services. In this work, we present EdgeDoc, a novel approach for the detection and localization of document forgeries. Our architecture combines a lightweight convolutional transformer with auxiliary noiseprint features extracted from the images, enhancing its ability to detect subtle manipulations. EdgeDoc achieved third place in the ICCV 2025 DeepID Challenge, demonstrating its competitiveness. Experimental results on the FantasyID dataset show that our method outperforms baseline approaches, highlighting its effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
