Abstract
The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for detecting tampering of an infrared (IR) security mark in a document. The method includes receiving the document including the IR security mark, wherein the IR security mark further includes one or more security texts and/or images. The document is scanned to generate scanned data. A portion of the scanned data including the IR security mark is segmented into a plurality of blocks such as blocks of size 32*32. Thereafter, a ratio of white to black pixels is calculated for each block. The calculated ratio is compared with a known threshold for each block. Upon comparison, the IR security mark is detected as a tampered security mark.
