Kinematic assessment and verification of paper documents for processing and analysis thereof

A see through apparatus configured to receive a paper document includes:

• a first scanning element configured to:
• illuminate a first side of a paper document, and
• capture a first image of the first side of the paper document;
• a second scanning element configured to:
• capture a second image of ink on both sides of the paper document from a second side of the paper document based on the first scanning element illuminating the first side of the paper document, and
• illuminate the second side of the paper document while the first scanning element captures the first image of the ink on both sides of the paper document from the first side of the paper document;
• and
• at least one processor operably coupled to the first scanning element and the second scanning element, the at least one processor configured to:
• detect kinematic artifacts on the paper document,
• determine that the paper document is fraudulent based on the detected kinematic artifacts,
• detect an alignment feature from the image capture from the first image or the second image, and
• determine that the document is not aligned based on the detected alignment feature.
