How to Use Optical Character Recognition for Security System Development

Applying machine learning techniques to security solutions is one of the current AI trends. This article will cover the approach to developing OCR-based software using deep learning algorithms. This software can be used to analyze and process identification such as a US driver's license as part of a security system for verifying identity. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology is already used by machine learning companies for business processes automation and optimization, with use cases ranging from Dropbox using it to parse through pictures to Google Street view identifying different street signs to searching through text messages and translating text in real time. In this particular case, OCR can be used as part of an automated biometric verification system.
