AI for remote identification of a person by selfie with a passport

Smart Engines has developed AI for remote identification of a person with a selfie with a passport. The company announced this on October 31, 2024. The technology automatically recognizes passport data and checks the photo in the document with the bearer's face, allowing you to go through KYC procedures for issuing cards, issuing loans or registering with services in 1 second. Now the process of identity confirmation, which is familiar to customers of banks, MFIs and sharing services, has become possible with one photo and is fully automated.

The end-to-end neural network model created by Smart Engines scientists instantly recognizes all the data of the main spread of the passport, including the photo of the owner, and checks the photo with the bearer's face in a selfie. The technology does not allocate biometric descriptors for sending to the EBS, which ensures the security of the procedure for users. The AI system automatically eliminates the aberrations of the front camera and recognizes the document, even if it is shot in low resolution.

Artificial intelligence Smart Engines allows you to automate the KYC procedure in two key scenarios - confirmation of the client's identity by an away employee of the bank and independent remote user identification. The system operates in digital and remote service channels, and the entire process of reading data and comparing faces takes no more than 1 second.

The solution is supplemented by a module for checking the "vitality" and identifying signs of falsification of the presented document, which helps to timely detect and prevent illegal actions using stolen photos and deepfakes in digital channels.

Worldwide, passport photography of a person is the gold standard for remote identity identification (KYC). We set the task - to create AI for joint document recognition and face reconciliation. And we present the fruits of our research - we implemented the recognition of the entire spread of the passport, including handwritten ones, and the reconciliation of faces without highlighting biometrics in one photo. In the future, we plan to scale this technology and export it to other countries, "said Vladimir Arlazarov, CEO of Smart Engines, Doctor of Technical Sciences .

Smart ID Engine 2.4.0

Smart Engines on June 6, 2024 introduced an updated version of their Smart ID Engine 2.4.0 product. Now the solution based on artificial intelligence even better reads the handwritten text in the passport of the Russian Federation and in the registration stamp. The company's scientists managed to make a breakthrough and improve the quality of recognition thanks to an updated model of generating synthetic data for training neural networks.

In this version of the software product, the number of registration recognition errors was reduced by 30%. Smart ID Engine recognizes handwritten and printed registration in the passport in photos, scans and in the video stream in real time. If there are several stamps on the pages in the passport of the Russian Federation about registration and deregistration, then the system recognizes all of them. The recognition time of the registration page on a modern phone is 0.4 seconds. In server solutions, dozens of images per second can be recognized without using graphics accelerators.

Measurements on the verification sensors of the synthesized images also showed that compared to the previous version, the quality of recognition of all letter and digital fields of the handwritten passport was improved: in the field "Name" the number of errors decreased by 53%, "Date of birth" - by 24%, "Gender" - by 31%, "Surname" - by 16%, "Patronymic" - by 10%.

Smart ID Engine is a system that can extract data from a Russian passport, driver's license and more than 2,700 types of certification documents from 235 jurisdictions around the world in more than 100 languages. The technology is an on-premium solution that allows you to recognize documents in photos, scans and video streams. In the process of recognition, data and images are not transferred to cloud services or other unauthorized persons, which ensures the security of processing personal data for the bearer of documents and business.

Smart Engines neural networks are able to identify fake documents. Algorithms check the originality of the document form, the integrity of its protection elements, and also find re-labels, reprints and other signs of mechanical intervention. The system also checks the "validity" of the document at the moment of time, performs cross-validation of data in the visual and machine-readable areas. In total, the system checks for more than 60 parameters.

Another feature of the Smart ID Engine for identifications customers is non-biometric face reconciliation. The system compares two images - a photo in the certifying document and a selfie of its owner - and gives an assessment of how similar they are, while not highlighting biometric descriptors.

Ability to recognize a foreign national's card

Smart Engines scientists have trained AI to recognize a foreign national's map in a video stream, photos and scans. The company announced this on May 7, 2024. A pilot project for issuing such cards is being implemented in Moscow and the Moscow region. Now developers will be able to add recognition of a foreign citizen's card to their applications on a smartphone, tablet, desktop computer and terminal. Ultralight 4.6-bit neural networks provide 1 frame recognition in less than 1 second.

A foreign citizen's card is issued free of charge to foreign citizens and stateless persons staying in the Russian Federation when they apply to the Multifunctional Migration Center to obtain or renew a work patent. It contains the owner's name, date of birth, citizenship, signature sample, validity period, QR code, machine-readable zone (MRZ) and other data.

The presence of such a card allows migrants to confirm the receipt of a patent for work, as well as the passage of such mandatory procedures as a medical examination or fingerprint examination at the migration center. The document has a built-in Troika card, with the help of which foreigners can make and pay for trips in public transport in Moscow and the Moscow region. It is recommended to always have a foreign citizen card with you, since it may be needed when passing a document check by police officers.

In addition to a foreign citizen's card, Smart Engines AI solutions can not only recognize passports and other documents, but also verify their authenticity. Smart Engines neural networks check the originality of the document form, the integrity of its protection elements, as well as identify re-labels, reprints and other signs of mechanical intervention. In addition, the system checks the "validity" of the document at the moment of time, performs cross-validation of data in the visual and machine-readable areas and, if it has a chip, checks the data from it with the information from the document. In total, the system checks documents for more than 60 parameters.

The topic of illegal migration is a serious concern in society, and the government is taking various measures to address this problem, including the introduction of new documents. We create systems that will allow these documents to be quickly and efficiently recognized and verified. In particular, our OCR technologies allow you to add recognition of a new type of document literally one example, almost immediately as they appear. Today, our system supports more than 2.7 thousand documents of 220 countries and jurisdictions, "said Vladimir Arlazarov, CEO of Smart Engines, Doctor of Technical Sciences.

Now the Smart Code Engine solution recognizes MRZ twice as quickly - a machine-readable zone in passports or other identity cards containing basic information about the owner of the document. Smart Code Engine 2.3.0 is trained to extract data from a machine-readable area even in the most difficult cases: for example, if the MRZ on a document is curved, that is, it looks not like a straight line, but like an arc.

The upgrade also received a product for instant payments Universal Pay, which is part of the Smart Code Engine. This payment tool allows customers to automatically run the desired payment script when the camera of a mobile device hovers over a barcode, bank card or phone number. In this version, it can recognize phone numbers and card numbers in the same frame at the same time. Other improvements include facial account recognition in payment details and REST API support.

As for the Smart Document Engine, it added the ability to recognize several identity documents in one video clip or image. In addition, the recognition of Russian documents, such as a certificate of income of an individual, a diploma, a certificate from a previous place of work, an order to grant leave to an employee, a comparative statement of inventory-19 and an employee's personal card (form T-2), as well as a new type of documents was added for recognition - power of attorney.

Scientists have improved their flagship Smart ID Engine credential recognition product. It improved the quality of recognition of ID-documents of Latin American countries by 10%. In addition, this product can now recognize:

• 24 new types of identity documents that were not previously supported. We are talking, for example, about new documents of countries Africa (driver's license, Libya ID-card Sierra Leone or visa Madagascar), as well as several (the European states medical cards in or Finland military ticket in). Norway
• 69 new subtypes of identity documents, including Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Germany, France and other countries.

Thus, Smart ID Engines currently supports recognition of 2709 (+ 142) document types with 4305 (+ 258) unique templates.

The technology of non-biometric reconciliation of persons was significantly improved: the number of errors was reduced by 20% in it. State-of-the-art development compares two images: one is a photo from a certification document, the other is a selfie of its owner, and then gives an assessment of how similar they are, without highlighting and analyzing biometric characteristics.

The operation of AI-based technology for detecting interference in the image of a document has been quadrupled. It is part of the authentication system for passports and other ID documents.

The ability to recognize any number of documents in one frame

Smart Engines March 12, 2024 presented, AI capable of recognizing any number of documents in one frame - up to several dozen. This system will help, and to banks IFI other companies not fintech market only improve the client path in the process, but also identifications protect themselves from fraudulent ones. attacks

This is a fundamentally different and much more convenient scenario for identifying customers. Previously, a user who wants to get a loan or use another banking service had to alternately photograph and attach identity documents to the application - a general civil passport of the Russian Federation, SNILS, a driver's license and others. This, on the one hand, is not very convenient and labor-intensive, and on the other hand, it leaves room for attackers to maneuver. Scammers can use AI to generate images of documents or edit them using photo editors to pass anti-fraud checks.

The alternative state-of-the-art scenario created by Smart Engines researchers is based on multi-object document recognition. Now the client does not need to separately photograph documents - just arrange them in one frame and take a picture. All the rest of the work will be done by AI. Due to the latest achievements of scientists in the field of computer vision and machine learning, the system automatically detects documents, recognizes all the necessary fields and detects any fraudulent attacks - traces of Photoshop or other interventions. If a fraudster "inserts" a document into an image or mounts several, the system will instantly detect fraud.

The number of documents in the photo is essentially limited only by the ability of the device's camera, since the proprietary OCR Smart Engines provides text recognition as long as a person sees it. At the same time, recognition of all documents in the photo takes literally a second, which makes the new user path not only safer for banks, but also convenient for the client himself. This speed is achieved through its own OCR technology with the use of ultralight neural networks.

Speed, convenience and security are the most important characteristics of any system. We made a decision that improved all these indicators. In addition, it is capable of recognizing an unlimited number of documents in 1 image, "said Vladimir Arlazarov, CEO of Smart Engines, Doctor of Technical Sciences.

The functionality was included in the latest version of the Smart ID Engine 2.3.0 software product. In addition to them, it contains a number of other important improvements. So, 24 types of identity documents were added to the Smart ID Engine, which were not previously supported. We are talking, for example, about documents countries Africa (driver's license in, Libya ID-card Sierra Leone or visa for), Madagascar as well as several (the European states medical cards in or Finland military ticket in). Norway Added 69 subtypes of identity documents, including,,,,, and Argentina Armenia others. Brazil Germany France Thus, the Smart Engines product supports the recognition of 2709 (+ 142) document types with 4305 (+ 258) unique templates for March 2024.

The ability to recognize a handwritten stamp with a registration in the passport of the Russian Federation

Smart Engines has added recognition of a handwritten stamp with a registration in the passport of the Russian Federation to the Smart ID Engine system. This is a fundamentally different tool for automating business processes, which ensures that customer address data is entered into information systems. The ultralight neural networks used in the solution without the use of GPU and even on the phone allow you to recognize passport pages with registration in the image in 0.4 seconds. The developer announced this on December 7, 2023.

Smart ID Engine recognizes handwritten registration in photos, scans and video stream in real time. If there are several stamps on the pages in the passport of the Russian Federation about registration and deregistration, then the system recognizes all of them. At the same time, when recognizing a passport, the user does not need to worry about how these stamps are filled - handwritten or typewritten. These addresses are retrieved automatically and provided in a convenient structured form.

The solution will speed up customer service in cases where in order to provide services, it is necessary to enter data not only the main spread of the passport, but also the registration pages. You need to enter these addresses, for example, when opening a bank account, to receive various financial products, buy SIM-cards, connect the Internet, issue an insurance policy, when hiring new employees, register in applications and in other situations.

Smart ID Engine is based on artificial intelligence technologies and allows you to recognize all pages of the Russian passport, as well as check the document for authenticity. This is safe for the company and its customers, since to extract the details of the image and document data are not transferred for processing to third-party services for manual entry by external verifiers. The proprietary GreenOCR technology (trademark) developed by Smart Engines scientists is responsible for recognizing handwritten and printed passport data.

Passport "book" recognition mode from different angles using AI

Smart Engines On May 31, 2021, a scientific company announced the solution of the last fundamental problem with recognition a passport RUSSIAN FEDERATION using technology (AI artificial intelligence). The Smart ID Engine software product demonstrates the recognition mode of the passport "book" from different angles and various real-time lighting in the video stream and in photos. It was the "book" that was the scientific and technological frontier, having overcome which, the task of recognizing the passport of the Russian Federation at the AI level can be considered solved, the company emphasized.

Unlike the traditional task of recognizing a scan copy, when, due to "pressing" the document to the working surface of the scanner, the passport actually turns into a flat object, recognizing a photograph of the passport requires taking into account all the geometric features of the "book" of the document. AI faces the difficult task of determining and restoring the geometry of a document in its original space from its projection onto the image plane. To solve it using artificial visual intelligence methods, Smart Engines researchers created energy-efficient architectures of low-bit neural networks with repeating Radon layers. The equivariance to projective transformations laid down in them allows you to correct promising distortions of the Russian passport both in real time in the process of recognizing the video stream and in individual photographs, the company explained.

Smart Engines is designed to automatically enter passport data in mobile applications, Internet solutions and other systems during remote service and processing of client documents in offices. The full autonomy of the recognition process in the Smart ID Engine ensures compliance with the privacy of users and allows organizations to comply with FZ-152 requirements for the security of personal data processing. Smart Engines does not collect user data to improve the quality of neural network recognition or training. High accuracy and reliability of recognition is achieved in the Smart ID Engine solely through AI algorithms, images of user documents are not transmitted in any form to third-party services for manual data extraction by verifiers.

"On the way to solving the problem of recognizing the passport of the Russian Federation, our scientists and engineers have consistently solved a number of fundamental problems related to both the peculiarities of recognizing the video stream and photographs of documents, and the specifics of the passport itself. This is the creation of technologies for recognizing the characters of rare fonts and non-standard proportions, algorithms inter-frame integration, taking into account errors in autofocus systems and the occurrence of off-scale glare on the protective film, software and hardware optimization AI for working on devices with limited performance, recognizing passports with handwritten filling, stable work in half-darkness on the verge of visibility and, finally, recognizing the passport "book" as a three-dimensional object. Of course, we will continue to work to improve the accuracy and speed of recognition, but we see the main scientific challenges in the requirements economies for creating solutions based on AI solutions to protect users and businesses from fraudulent actions with documents, "said the CEO of Smart Engines, Ph.D. Vladimir Arlazarov

"The human brain is able to recognize objects from almost arbitrary angles without spending significant resources on it. When we pick up a passport, we do not unfold it completely before reading it. We simply open the passport until we begin to clearly see the letters. In this case, the angle between the planes of the pages can still be sharp, and the image of the text on the retina is significantly distorted by the perspective. In the perception of a person, these distortions are absent. Implementing the same principle of operation of an AI-based recognition program has been a challenge for us since we showed the first version of the passport recognition system in the video stream and in photos in 2015. We were able to solve the problem of recognizing the "book" thanks to the creation of an AI model that can accurately and quickly localize and normalize flat fragments of complex three-dimensional objects in images, taking into account the laws of the prospect of the physical world, "said Dmitry Nikolaev, technical director of Smart Engines, Ph.D.

As noted in Smart Engines, the algorithmic database provides high quality and speed of recognition of Russian passport data using the Smart ID Engine software product starting from version 1.4.0. Users or visiting employees can take photos or recognize a passport on video, showing the document to the camera of the phone or tablet in the way they are comfortable. To enter passport data when serving customers in offices, you can show and photograph the document with a regular webcam. Recognition of both printed and handwritten passports is supported.

On November 29, 2019, Smart Engines introduced an updated version of the Smart IDreader 3.3 artificial intelligence system, which significantly improves the accuracy of document recognition around the world, supports recognition of 1,100 types of documents and for the first time demonstrates the ability to recognize handwritten fields in identity documents.

According to the company, Smart IDreader is an embedded technology that allows you to automatically enter data from certification documents in mobile applications, Internet solutions and front-office systems.

In version 3.3, Smart Engines applied scientific advances in optimizing the character recognition process. This technology is called GreenOCR (optical character recognition technology OCR based on "green" artificial intelligence). It implements an approach aimed at reducing energy consumption both during neuronets training and end devices during the execution of operations algorithms. The technology makes it possible to implement increasingly complex recognition tasks while simultaneously reducing the "dimensions" of the used neural networks and increasing their specific performance.

One of these complex tasks that the use of GreenOCR technology allows is the recognition of handwritten spread data with 2-3 pages of a Russian passport. The transition from recognition in images (photographs and scans) of characters of printed and hand-to-hand text to processing of characters written by hand is a serious result in the development of AI, which may allow in the future to recognize handwritten text not only in the Russian passport, but also in other documents.

As of November 2019, such an indicator has become important for business, which we can conventionally designate as how many recognition will last one charge. batteries phone told Vladimir Arlazarov, CEO of Smart Engines

The breakthrough in the use of artificial intelligence in the recognition module and the transition to the CEF (carbon emission free) paradigm was made possible by reducing multiplication operations (by replacing them with addition operations) and reducing the number of input coefficients. told Dmitry Nikolaev, technical director of Smart Engines

The updated version of Smart IDreader facilitates integration processes, improves quality characteristics: increased accuracy of document recognition, added the ability to select the best photo from the video stream, updated the algorithm for cross-checking the contents of a document and its machine-readable zone (MRZ).

To capture a document image in a video stream, mobile applications implement a compact "ID Shot" module. Now users can only search and capture a document image on a mobile device, and perform the entire computational recognition process on the server.

The updated version adds more than 50 types of various identity documents, driving licenses from different countries, including documents from Argentina, Jordan, Montenegro, which were not supported in previous versions. AnyRus and AnyCIS document processing modes have become available to Smart IDreader users, allowing you to recognize more than 20 documents of the Russian Federation and more than 50 certifying documents of the CIS countries without specifying their type.

To facilitate integration processes with server solutions based on OS the family Linux , Smart IDreader SDK has added scripts for automatic assembly of modules for PHP and Python. Support for working with UiPath is also implemented. Robotic Process Automation

Smart IDReader has learned to detect forgeries in the dark. Video

On July 1, 2019, Smart Engines introduced an updated version of the artificial intelligence system for document recognition in the video stream and in Smart IDReader 3.0 images. In the version based on the 8-bit OCR of the second generation and the updated algorithmic identification stack, recognition of more than 650 certification documents and verification of signs of document compromise are added. The quality of recognition of the passport of the Russian Federation, MRZ, QR codes, bank cards and other certification documents has been improved. The speed of image processing has increased by an average of 25%, which is especially important for the product to work on low-cost phones.

In 2015, we showed the first solution for recognizing the passport of the Russian Federation on mobile devices and in photographs. Since then, our scientific achievements in the field computer vision have made it possible to offer the market a user experience in processing document photos and live video stream. We are talking about quick algorithms restoration of the geometry of documents in images with projective distortion and ensuring high accuracy of recognition in photographs, regardless of what lighting and what device they were made. One of our main principles is the autonomy of technology. All calculations in the recognition process are always performed on the customer's device. This can be normal smartphone if Smart IDReader is built directly into a mobile application, server desktop or PERSONAL COMPUTER self-service terminal. In any case, we offer the so-called in-house processing, when our users do not transfer information about their clients for processing to external services and can implement high standards of work safety with. personal data told Vladimir Arlazarov, CEO of Smart Engines

According to the company, users of Smart IDReader 3.0 have become available the ability to automatically check in images and in the video stream of the consistency of document data. Document verification includes reconciliation of recognized text data of the visual area of the document and the machine-readable area MRZ, if any. To determine the "validity" of the document, depending on its type, the current date is matched with the date of birth, the date of issue and the validity of the document.

The company also demonstrated the capabilities of Smart IDReader 3.0 when recognizing a passport of the Russian Federation, a foreign passport of the Russian Federation and SNILS in a video stream in unknown lighting (almost in the dark).

The updated version supports the recognition of 940 types of documents, including passports of all countries of the world, identity cards (ID cards), driver's licenses, visas, health insurance cards, etc. Now passports, ID cards and driver's licenses are recognized for each of the countries of Europe and the CIS. The composition of processed documents for Australia, Canada, China, Korea, Mexico, the USA and Japan has also been expanded.

In comparison with version 2.0, recognition of temporary identity cards, prosecutor's and lawyer's certificates has been added for Russian clients, and the forms of documents for a residence permit, military ticket and compulsory medical insurance policy have been set up. At the request of insurance companies and brokers in Smart IDReader, the composition of recognizable fields in the vehicle registration certificate (STS) has been expanded. The Russian passport has improved the quality of recognition of printed stamps with registration and information about the previously issued passport.

Smart IDReader 3.0 improves the quality of recognition of all types of bank cards, the machine-readable MRZ zone on any documents and one-dimensional/two-dimensional barcodes. To recognize MRZ, the algorithm for finding text strings has been improved. The development of barcode recognition technology was aimed at improving the quality of data extraction from AZTEC and QR, which are used on receipts of housing and communal services, the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation and other standard documents.

For payment solutions, as well as banking services mobile Internet acquiring , it is proposed to enter the customer's card data when paying application in or on the site with one photo. To do this, Smart IDReader server components added support for the mode of recognizing bank card data in individual images, which was previously available only when working with video.

As of June 2019, more than 35 banks and insurance companies, 18 services providers, leading telecom operators, 6 services for the sale of air/railway/bus tickets, as well as other projects with remote and exit services are users of Smart IDReader.

Document Seal and Stamp Recognition Technology

On December 14, 2018, Smart Engines announced the creation of print and stamp recognition technology on documents in video stream, photos and scanned images. According to the company, the technology allows you to add to mobile, server and desktop applications the ability to find seals (stamps) and extract information from them . Its first use was the use in the product of the company Smart IDReader for recognition in the passport of the Russian Federation of the stamp seal, printed stamps with registration and information about previously issued passports.

The developed technology is based on a combination of model approaches responsible for the correct localization of seals and stamps, and special algorithmic machine learning, which are used to solve high-level problems of localizing structural objects and recognizing characters in images and in the video stream. Vladimir Arlazarov, CEO of Smart Engines Ph.D.

As of December 2018, Smart IDReader allows you to recognize the code of the unit that issued the passport, not only from the text field and the machine-readable MRZ zone (if any), but also directly on the stamp seal. When processing the pages of the passport of the Russian Federation, the system allows you to find and extract test data from the registration stamps and information about previously issued documents with printed filling. This information can be used to carry out various checks and auto-fill contracts in banks, insurance companies, sharing economy projects and other services.

The ability to recognize seals and stamps in the passport of the Russian Federation on images and in the video stream is available to Smart IDReader users starting from version 2.2.0 of the system. As of December 2018, the functionality is optimized for Elbrus, KOMDIV, SPARC, MIPS, ARM, x86 architectures and is compatible with operating systems iOS, Android, Sailfish Mobile OS RUS, Elbrus, Linux, Windows, macOS and Solaris.

For December 2018, you can test print recognition by installing the Smart IDReader demo mobile application posted on Google play and the App Store. To do this, users just need to show the passport page with the printing to the camera of their smartphone or process a pre-taken photo of the document.

Smart IDReader version 2.0

On June 21, 2018, Smart Engines introduced the next version of the Smart IDReader 2.0 artificial intelligence system for document recognition. The second version, created using deep sparse discrete neural networks, can recognize hundreds of types of official documents in the video stream and in images, typical forms of the A4 format and supports arbitrary shooting angles that are convenient for the user. The product is aimed at the markets of the Russian Federation and the countries of the former USSR.

3 years ago, we offered customers to recognize the Russian passport in mobile applications, showing the document to the phone camera. It's been a rewarding user experience and we're thrilled the market has embraced it. The second version of Smart IDReader is a story about modern standards in document recognition. Customers do not need OCR systems that recognize a passport scan in 5 seconds on a powerful computer and do not know how to process photos with easily readable text simply because the system is not taught the laws of perspective. Users want to recognize hastily taken photos in literally 1 second and perform real-time recognition in the video stream. 'Vladimir Arlazarov, CEO of Smart Engines '

The use of computational-efficient machine vision algorithms and an 8-bit computing model in the Smart IDReader 2.0 version allowed Smart Engines specialists to switch the technological barrier from recognizing A5 and V5-sized documents on mobile phones (Russian passport) to standard certification documents and arbitrary questionnaires, applications, A4 format contracts. When recognizing "large" documents in a video stream in a mobile application, fundamentally different approaches to computing are required, since, unlike server solutions, smartphone performance is limited and it is impossible to simply connect an additional "kernel" to speed up recognition.

The development of remote service channels is one of the main areas of application of document recognition technologies. Often, customers send photos when contacting, in which the documents, due to projective distortions, are non-rectangular quadrangles, and in the case of a Russian passport, the so-called "book." OCR technologies focused on working with scans, when processing such photos, can give quality at a level of 5-10% or less. Smart IDReader 2.0 is able to correct projective distortions both in photos and when working with video stream in mobile applications, offering the user to show the document to the camera as it is convenient for him. Technologically, the ability to recognize is provided almost until a person can read the document without errors.

Thanks to the algorithmic and software optimizations carried out in Smart IDReader 2.0, it was possible to achieve a double increase in recognition accuracy. This means that the number of recognition errors that fall into human verification has decreased by about 2 times compared to the first generation of the system.

In the presented version, it became possible to recognize passports of a citizen of the Russian Federation with handwritten filling. And, although the number of such documents is small relative to the total number, their processing is not only relevant in various financial services, but also another scientific challenge. To process handwritten passports, the Smart Engines solution implements automatic detection of handwriting and the ability to recognize (in addition to the document number) the gender, dates and unit number.

The results achieved by Smart Engines employees were made possible by solving a whole layer of complex scientific and technical problems in the field of computer vision and artificial intelligence. Scientific confirmation of the results obtained was reflected in 2 defended master's theses and in more than 40 articles published in rating Russian and international journals.

In addition to recognizing the passport of the Russian Federation, SNILS, driver's licenses, STS and documents with a machine-readable zone, available in the first version, Smart IDReader 2.0 can recognize 15 types of documents of the Russian Federation, 20 documents of the countries of the former USSR and more than 200 documents of the world in more than 35 languages. The addition of additional types of documents and recognition languages ​ ​ is based on the original development of Smart Engines in the field of visual intelligence - the HIEROGLYPH technology platform.

Testing on 5 Elbrus computing complexes

Smart Engines in December 2017 conducted comparative testing of Smart IDReader on 5 computing complexes with Elbrus processors. During the tests, the capabilities of complexes for solving computer vision problems were compared.

Testing involved 5 different devices based on Elbrus processors, including workstations and server solutions.

List of tested devices:

• Elbrus 101-RS - a compact workstation based on the Elbrus-1C + microprocessor
• Elbrus 401-PC - a personal computer based on the Elbrus-4C microprocessor
• Server Elbrus 4.4 - 4-processor server based on Elbrus-4C
• Elbrus 801-PC - a workstation based on the Elbrus-8C microprocessor
• Elbrus-8.4 - 4-processor server module based on Elbrus-8C

The Smart IDReader application was compiled for the Elbrus architecture from the source code and launched in native mode. At the same time, support for parallelization was provided for the maximum available number of threads.

The study was conducted for the following types of documents: passport of the Russian Federation, biometric passport of the Russian Federation (foreign passport), driver's license of the Russian Federation, driver's license of Great Britain, German ID-cards and a certificate of incapacity for work (sick leave).

To evaluate performance, the net recognition time of one image (scan or photo) was measured without taking into account the time the image was downloaded from the file. In this case, the document in the image could be arbitrarily rotated. The final recognition time was defined as the average of 100 images of each document.

The following are quantitative test results - the processing time of one image for two modes of operation: sequential image recognition (Table 1) and recognition with support for parallelization of calculations (Table 2). In the case where several recognition processes were started, the total time included the time to load images from the file.

The results showed that all participating devices based on Elbrus processors provide recognition time corresponding to industrial document recognition solutions. So, in the parallelization mode of calculations, the recognition time of the passport of the Russian Federation on a compact workstation Elbrus 401-RS is less than 1.5 seconds, and on the top-end Elbrus-8.4 - only 0.11 seconds. At the same time, all server solutions for tasks with a high degree of parallelism showed an acceleration of 3-4 times, noted in Smart Engines.
