‘Sometimes it’s harder to find something than to recognise it. In the new version of the Smart Code Engine, we have completely redesigned the MRZ search algorithms. We now support MRZ scanning with a much wider range of scales, making the process as easy as possible for the user. Neither have we forgotten the precision of OCR by making it much better. As a result, the system is three times more accurate’, commented Smart Engines CEO Vladimir Arlazarov, PhD in Computer Science.
MRZ scanning is used in case of state border crossing, flight check-in, accommodation booking, hotel check-in and for remote customer identification procedures. The Smart Code Engine provides automatic retrieval and recognition of MRZ data, performed to ISO/ICAO standards (ISO/IEC 7501-1/ICAO Document 9303). The system also complies with custom national MRZ standards of France, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Kenya, Ecuador. Smart Code Engine recognises MRZ on passports, visas, ID cards, residents permit and other IDs and other documentation worldwide.
