While existing deep learning-based automatic detection methods achieve high accuracy, they lack interpretability. This paper introduces the Concept Bottleneck Model (CBM) to construct a transparent passport printing method detection framework. By defining interpretable intermediate concepts and integrating linear reasoning, the model significantly enhances reliability and debugging efficiency. The article systematically analyzes the advantages, challenges, and future directions of this approach.
