Abstract

This paper presents an intelligent application that runs on Android phones to extract important information from Vietnamese passports. Instead of processing information from the passport by manually entering important information into the computer, this application can scan and analyze to get the information fields on the passport automatically. The main algorithm flow includes five parts: 1) capture the passport by the camera, 2) preprocess the image, 3) recognize optical characters 4) extract important information, 5) linguistic processing. After all processing steps, the application will return to a screen with full information extracted. Information fields in cases that are extracted with low confidence will be highlighted for users to easily see and modify. The result has proved that our application has a definite advantage in recognizing the Vietnamese passport (being presented in bilingual English and Vietnamese) when compared to the existing commercial application on the Google Play store.
