Introduction
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) scanning is a powerful feature designed to detect, read, and extract data from VINs, whether they are printed as text or encoded in barcodes. The VIN contains standardized alphanumeric information, such as manufacturer details, vehicle attributes, and unique identifiers, enabling quick and reliable machine reading.
The Vehicle Identification Number Scanner is designed to read both VIN strings and VIN barcodes. It scans the text using OCR within a user-defined rectangular area of interest, in consecutive video frames, or decodes barcodes containing VIN information. A customizable closure lets you clean up the raw string by filtering it against unwanted characters and OCR noise.
By leveraging advanced detection and recognition algorithms, VIN scanning ensures accurate data extraction even under challenging conditions, such as poor lighting, tilted surfaces, or partially visible VINs. The extracted data is provided in a structured format, enabling seamless integration into applications for further processing or verification.
VIN scanning is widely used across industries such as automotive, insurance, and logistics, where automated and reliable data extraction enhances efficiency, reduces manual errors, and improves user experience.
