In this article, we give a brief description of the design of our identity document optical character recognition system and the algorithms that are used at different stages of the process. If you’d like to know how the Smart ID Engine system works, please keep reading. The idea of using…

New technologies, as a general rule, build upon not just current developments, but on the extensive analysis of how related technologies have been evolving over time. Thus, if we look at a bank card as a complex piece of technology, which it is, it is interesting to know the history…

QR-code recognition in an image is a well-established problem in machine vision. First of all, the research object was initially developed as a tool for more “comfortable” recognition. Secondly, the problem gets broken into a few separate clear sub-tasks: QR-code localization, QR-code orientation, and QR-code decoding. It turns out that…

Since the beginning of the century, we have witnessed at least three epidemics of transboundary nature which have significantly influenced the public perception of diseases as such. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which spread across the world in 2002–2004, outbreaks of avian (“bird flu”) and swine (“swine flu”) influenza viruses…

A modern travel passport is not just a booklet with a photo of the owner issued for international travel, but rather a complex device that embodies all the most breakthrough achievements in various areas of science and technology. The main passport function is to confirm the owner’s identity quickly, reliably…

The recognition of a scanned document can be considered a classical and well-thought-out problem with a variety of known solutions. Recognition of a machine-readable zone (MRZ) on mobile devices, on the other hand, is a much more complicated task due to the properties of mobile device cameras and the specification…

MRZ, or Machine-Readable Zone is a codified element of identity documents. Its purpose is to facilitate easier automated scanning of basic personal details of the document holder, such as their full name, document number, nationality, date of birth, and the document expiration date. Today the MRZ can be found on…
