The Veridocs System simultaneously examines the physical layout of both sides of the document, as well as the various optical and electronic security features for the automatic classification, data extraction, and authentication of documents. The authentication process utilizes the Veridocs Document Library (VDL). The VDL does not contain complete document images, but is rather a collection of “metadata” about each document type supported. This “metadata” is comprised of information on the document such as where in a captured image to search for specific color characteristics, small pattern images, or regions containing data. Also included are specific properties such as colors, physical relationships, data formats, and patterns that uniquely identify the document and allow reliable data extraction. The “metadata” consists of parameters necessary for the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and image processors used to perform the specific tasks necessary to capture, classify, and authenticate the document.
Veridocs has collected physical specimens of virtually every official U.S. and Canadian government driver’s license and ID card issued and in circulation. Veridocs has updated or “trained” the VDAL with nearly all ICAO standard passports and ID-1 cards as-well-as hundreds of non-ICAO documents, such as visas, alien residence cards, national identity cards, international driver’s licenses, healthcare cards, border crossing to name a few. To date, the VDL contains security analytics for more than 2,500 documents from all over the world. LEARN MORE >
