Regula Document Reader
This article discusses an application that can automatically recognize and verify various types of identity documents on a device. Users can take images using the device camera or select images from their gallery, and the application will perform OCR to extract and verify data from the document.
The application supports a wide range of document types, including passports, ID cards, visas, driver's licenses, vehicle registration certificates, and work permits. It recognizes and verifies data from both ICAO 9303 machine-readable documents and non-ICAO non-machine readable documents.
To use the application, users position the document in front of the camera and ensure it fits within the frame. The application will then detect, crop, and recognize the document, extracting and verifying both graphic and text fields automatically.
The application offers several features and benefits, including automatic document type recognition, support for over 10,000 documents from more than 248 countries/territories, OCR support for 70+ languages, and the ability to split text into separate fields.
It also supports reading and parsing MRZ lines, including custom/non-standard MRZ formats, and can decode ISO codes and transliterate names into national characters.
For documents with RFID chips, the application can read data from ePassports, eIDs, and eDLs, and supports various authentication methods. It complies with international standards such as ICAO 9303, ISO 18013, and BSI TR-03105 Part 5.1, 5.2.
The application also supports 1D and 2D barcode reading and can parse barcode data into text fields using document template specifications. It can crop documents and graphic fields based on templates, verify check digits and barcode/data formats, perform age checks, and cross-compare data from different document zones.
Additionally, the application offers features for face matching, capturing facial images with quality assessment, and performing liveness checks. It performs all computations on the device and ensures data privacy and security.
The application provides an SDK for developers to integrate its functionality into other applications, with the ability to configure the SDK to include only the required features for optimal application size.
In conclusion, this application offers a comprehensive solution for automatically recognizing, verifying, and extracting data from various types of identity documents, providing a fast, reliable, and secure process. The application is available for purchase, and users can contact the developers for support, inquiries, or suggestions.
