The ICAO standard passport scanner is a full-page
multi-illumination ePassport reader. It captures ultraviolet and
infrared
images, as well the full page of a passport in colour. In a
simultaneous action, the passport reader also decodes the machine
readable zone (MRZ) and processes eData, including name, data of
birth, gender, document number, date of expiry, the holder's image
etc, from the chip. Some features are optional such as RFID chip
reading and the UV image. And the UV is for the document authentic
check. The ICAO standard passport scanner significantly speeds up
image-processing, thus efficiently reduces queuing time. Generally
Speaking, it will take about 2 seconds to capture the images and
extract the printed data through OCR technology and read the chip
data from contactless RFID chip. Its unique design makes it ideal
for kiosks, airports, hotels, banks, duty free shop, travel agency,
transportation terminals etc.
