Recognize Chinese Driver’s License with Yunmai OCR SDK

In most of states of America, foreign people can use the driver’s license that issued by their own country to apply an American driver’s license. For example, in California, there have more than half million of Chinese, a lot of new immigrants bring their Chinese driver’s licenses to the department of motor vehicle (DMV) to get new licenses. Normally, the DMV staff only validate the foreign license’s expiration date and then make a copy of that before issuing the new license. This process let new comers feel very convenient, but there has some loophole in the licenses’ management. The staff is unable to verify the license is real or not, and they cannot check the applicant’s driving records. These are the issues that need to be improved.
Yunmai Driver’s License OCR SDK can help DMV to fixed the problem, the OCR engine is provided for developer to integrate into a management system, and create a feature of smartly reading Chinese driver’s license. The recognition SDK is able to extract the license information by capturing instead of manually typing, as you know, few DMV staff can type Chinese. This technology would make the DMV fast obtain the digital information of foreign driver’s licenses, so that they are able to request some required information from the related issuing department.
Yunmai Driver’s License OCR SDK is developed by Yunmai Technology Company, the OCR engine is tailored for recognizing Chinese driver’s license. The recognition accuracy rate reach 99%, and the engine processing time is about1 second. If the developers want to apply this technology into the management system of DMV to recognize Chinese licenses, Yunmai Driver’s License OCR engine is good choice, it will save much time for them on developing.

Yunmai Document OCR SDK Help You Create an E-Library

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is usually used for digitizing paper document. this technology has been widely applied in data entry at business offices and government bureaus. Yunmai Document OCR SDK is a character identification engine for document recognition, which is developed by Yunmai Technology company. This OCR SDK recognizes more than 14 languages, it has advantage of identifying the characters of English, European and Chinese, the accuracy rate might reach 99%. Docs Matter is one of the mobile applications that is integrated with Yunmai Document recognition engine, the app achieves high recognition accuracy, and has gained large number of users.
The Yunmai Document OCR SDK is able to convert printed document to editable PDF file. This feature let us conceive an idea of cloning an electric version library. As you know, e-library is more convenient than traditional library, it allow readers access the required information anytime and anywhere. The physical library always store thousands of books, though most of them have computer management, but it is not easy to find some small articles or chips from the great book house. If integrate Yunmai Document OCR engine into a software to convert a paper book to PDF file by capturing, the engine would recognize the text on the image captured and make a searchable PDF file. So that readers can find any content by keyword search, it will make a library more valuable and serve more people.

How the OCR engine works
- Get image
- Blur detection
- Text lines segmentation
- Chracters segmentation
- Chracter feature extraction
- Chracters matching
- Handling End of line
- Automatic words segmentation
- Chracters detection

Character recognition results
The following are the average recognition accuracy for different languages:
English characters: 97%
European characters: 99%
Chinese characters: 92%
These data are obtained on recognizing an 8 pixel megabytes image of a document with 800 characters, and the font size is 12.

Character recognition speed
The recognition speed is based on hardware and the document captured, the following is an example:
Hardware: 1.7GHz CPU / 1GB RAM smart phone or higher
Capturing object: a paper document with about 800 characters
Recognition speed: OCR process will take about 7 seconds.

Programming language supported
The SDK is available for different programming languages: Java, C++, C, Object Pascal, Objective-C.

Other recognition SDKs we developed
Business card recognition SDK
Bank card recognition SDK
Chinese citizen ID card recognition SDK

Develop an Application of Foreign Language Reader with Yunmai Document OCR SDK

With the development of translation tools, reading foreign languages is easier and easier. There has PC software, mobile applications, and web translation which are able to translate foreign languages to native words. Though the translation results is not exactly correct, user can get the approximate meaning through the results. As well as the digit text, voice information also can be translated through some software.

Sometimes people would see some foreign text with their eyes, such as Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Korean, but they neither know the pronunciation nor type the letter. This case always happen to travelers, when they visit other countries, they would meet some advertisement slogans, traffic directions, building name, and restaurant menu which are written with local languages, how do they handle the translation?

In these case, to process the translation, the key point is how to convert the text in the image to digit letters. The optical character recognition (OCR) technology can do these; this technology is able to extract text from image through capturing or scanning. Yunmai Document OCR SDK provide the character recognition feature. This SDK is developed by Yunmai Technology Company, compare with other OCR SDKs, it has more advantage on Chinese characters recognition.

The Yunmai Document OCR SDK can be integrated into mobile application to create a feature of reading foreign text. This engine processes recognition at high speed, there will take less than 1 second for a short sentence; so that the engine can be used to develop an instant translation tool, such as recorder translation. Since the foreign text recognition is no more difficult, it is easy for developers to make a translate-by-read application.
