AI-powered OCR system for credential validation
Context
Need to automatically process physical credentials with field validation, orientation and data extraction. Manual process was slow and error-prone, requiring constant human validation.
Technical Decision
Implemented a system with YOLOv8 for field detection through computer vision, OpenCV for orientation validation and optimized Tesseract OCR. Hardware control via RS-232/USB-COM with device reverse engineering.
Result
35% reduction in OCR errors, processing in less than 2 seconds per credential. Fully automated system that eliminates the need for manual validation in most cases.
