ClearImage Driver License Reader SDK

Read Driver License barcode and decode data. Reading the Driver License barcode data provides properly spelled driver identification data in a reliable and consistent manner. The success rate approaches 100%. Barcode reading is faster and more accurate than trying to read the text on the front of the license. According to the Card Design Standard by AAMVA, the PDF417 two-dimensional bar code symbology is the minimum mandatory machine-readable technology that must be present on compliant driving license/identification documents. The barcode encodes key information about the cardholder, including name, date of birth, sex, eye color, height, and many.

    According to the Card Design Standard by AAMVA, the PDF417 two-dimensional bar code symbology is the minimum mandatory machine-readable technology that must be present on compliant driving license/identification documents. The barcode encodes key information about the cardholder, including name, date of birth, sex, eye color, height, and many others.

    There are two ways to extract data from a driver license for a machine:

    • Using OCR technology to recognize the characters printed on an ID
    • Use barcode recognition technology to decode the PDF417 symbology and then parse it into human-readable formats

    Generally speaking, the latter is more accurate and cost-effective than the former. In this article, we discuss how to use barcoding technology for text extraction from a driver’s license.
