IND Passport - India OCR Python
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 beNone
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, alwaysNone
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 beNone
.
StringField
The text field StringField
only has one constraint: its value is an Optional[str]
.
