2021: Launch of data recognition service from Russian passport images

On September 3, 2021, Innopolis University"" announced that it had developed a service for to recognition data using passport images RUSSIAN FEDERATION with. AI

The service translates data from the photo or scan of the main page of the passport into a text format with an accuracy of 96% and eliminates the human factor, reducing the number of errors during manual input. The solution is designed for automatic transfer of passport data to internal corporate systems of Energogarant.

Thanks to the service, it takes up to 2 seconds to enter passport data - this is 7-8 times faster than manual input. The solution is based on computer vision, which allows you to find the necessary fields and information on the image, and then translate it into text. With the help of the service, you can process any number of documents without any restrictions and store data on company servers without violating the policy of working with personal data.

"The problem with digitizing data is relevant for companies where you need to work with a large amount of information on paper. In the future, we plan to expand our line of algorithms not only as part of the digitization of documents, but also as part of the digitization of all kinds of standardized forms in various industries. Thus, we will help many companies process large arrays faster than they do now, " says the director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Innopolis University Ramil Kuleev.

According to the developers, customers can use this solution without restrictions and additional payments, while time other companies usually charge a certain fee on each recognizable document. In the future, the service is planned to be used not only for passports, but also for other documents: SNILS, driver's license, CAT (vehicle passports transport) and STS (vehicle registration certificate).
