Developing an Application to Read Chinese Citizen ID Card

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that enables scanned documents and images to be transformed into searchable and editable document formats, and it has been used by lots of industries. For developers, OCR SDK (Software Development Kit) allows them to easily embed high-quality optical character recognition functionality in their products.

Yunmai Technology is a professional developer for OCR SDK. It has developed several SDKs for developers, such as Document Recognition, Business Card Recognition, Banking Card Recognition, Car Plate Recognition, Driver's License Recognition and Chinese Citizen ID Card Recognition SDK.

Chinese Citizen ID Card Recognition SDK is dedicated to recognize Chinese Citizen ID Card and retrieve information from it. For some multinational corporation enterprises and immigration agencies, they need to record the ID card information of some Chinese people. If there is no staff who is Chinese or can read and retype Chinese, there is a problem for them to make a digital copy of ID Card.
Integrating Chinese Citizen ID Card Recognition SDK into an application can help those enterprises and agencies solve the Chinese characters entry problem. They just need to capture ID card with their mobile camera's device. The application will automatically recognize the ID card and extract text within it. The Chinese Citizen ID Card information will be saved into their database.

The process of OCR engine
- Get image
- Blur detection
- Text lines segmentation
- Characters segmentation
- Character feature extraction
- Characters matching
- Handling End of line
- Automatic words segmentation
- Characters detection

Accuracy rate and OCR engine efficiency (reference)
- ID card recognition accuracy
The average recognition accuracy rate for the Chinese citizen ID card is 98%.
- OCR SDK efficiency
The engine process recognizing a Chinese citizen ID card will take about 0.2 seconds for average.
