Generic Document Recognizer

`ScanbotSdk.UI.startGenericDocumentRecognizer(configuration: GenericDocumentRecognizerConfiguration): Promise`

The Scanbot SDK provides the ability to detect various types of documents in an image, crop them and recognize data fields via the Generic Document Recognizer.

alt

Currently, the Generic Document Recognizer supports the following types of documents:

German ID Card
German Passport
German Driver's license

The Generic Document Recognizer is based on the OCR feature and thus requires the proper installation of the OCR language files deu.traineddata and eng.traineddata (aka. blob files). For more details on how to set up OCR language files please refer to the OCR section.

Use the API method ScanbotSdk.UI.startGenericDocumentRecognizer(configuration: GenericDocumentRecognizerConfiguration): Promise<ResultWrapper<GenericDocumentRecognizerResult>> to start the Generic Document Recognizer Ready-To-Use UI.

Result:

The promise resolves to a result object with the following type:

export interface GenericDocumentRecognizerResult {
  documents: Array<
    | MRZDocument
    | DeIdCardFrontDocument
    | DeIdCardBackDocument
    | DePassportDocument
    | DeDriverLicenseFrontDocument
    | DeDriverLicenseBackDocument
  >;
}

Document Type:

The document type can be one of the following:

export type GenericDocumentType =
  /** German ID card, front side */
  | 'DeIdCardFront'
  /** German ID card, back side */
  | 'DeIdCardBack'
  /** German travel passport (Reisepass) */
  | 'DePassport'
  /** German driver license (Führerschein), front side */
  | 'DeDriverLicenseFront'
  /** German driver license (Führerschein), back side */
  | 'DeDriverLicenseBack';

Configuration

To only recognize a specific type of document, you can use the acceptedDocumentTypes property.

For example, if you only want to recognize German ID Cards, you can use the following configuration:

let config: GenericDocumentRecognizerConfiguration = {
  // Enables recognition for german ID cards only (front and back)
  acceptedDocumentTypes: ['DE_ID_CARD_FRONT', 'DE_ID_CARD_BACK']
}

Here you can read all the properties available in GenericDocumentRecognizerConfiguration:
