The Python OCR SDK supports the Passport - India API.

Using the sample below, we are going to illustrate how to extract the data that we want using the OCR SDK.

Quick-Start

from mindee import Client, product, AsyncPredictResponse

# Init a new client
mindee_client = Client(api_key="my-api-key")

# Load a file from disk
input_doc = mindee_client.source_from_path("/path/to/the/file.ext")

# Load a file from disk and enqueue it.
result: AsyncPredictResponse = mindee_client.enqueue_and_parse(
    product.ind.IndianPassportV1,
    input_doc,
)

# Print a brief summary of the parsed data
print(result.document)

Output (RST):

Field Types

Standard Fields

These fields are generic and used in several products.

BaseField

Each prediction object contains a set of fields that inherit from the generic BaseField class.
A typical BaseField object will have the following attributes:

• value (Union[float, str]): corresponds to the field value. Can be None if no value was extracted.
• confidence (float): the confidence score of the field prediction.
• bounding_box ([Point, Point, Point, Point]): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document.
• polygon (List[Point]): contains the relative vertices coordinates (Point) of a polygon containing the field in the image.
• page_id (int): the ID of the page, always None when at document-level.
• reconstructed (bool): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).

Note: A Point simply refers to a List of two numbers ([float, float]).

Aside from the previous attributes, all basic fields have access to a custom __str__ method that can be used to print their value as a string.

ClassificationField

The classification field ClassificationField does not implement all the basic BaseField attributes. It only implements value, confidence and page_id.

Note: a classification field's value is always a str`.

DateField

Aside from the basic BaseField attributes, the date field DateField also implements the following:

• date_object (Date): an accessible representation of the value as a python object. Can be None.

StringField

The text field StringField only has one constraint: its value is an Optional[str].
