Changes to BlinkID(Combined) Recognizer

• We’ve renamed the Swaziland country to Eswatini in results and ClassInfo
• Improved result validation
  • FieldIdentificationFailed processing status is used to indicate if unexpected fields are present on the document. Those fields are then deleted from the result
• We are filling out COUNTRY and REGION fields in ClassInfo, without the field TYPE of document, when using BarcodeID mode for scanning documents where the Front side is not supported, and back side results are extracted from AAMVA compliant barcodes
  • This applies only if ClassInfo isn’t already prepopulated in some other way and when you’re not in FullRecognition mode

ImageCapture

• Added support for including or excluding groups of documents supported by the current license with the captureModeFilter setting
  • Scanning of documents with AAMVA compliant barcodes with BarcodeID mode
  • Scanning of all licensed documents in BlinkID FullRecognition mode

Improvements

• We can now extract the date of birth from the document number on the South Korean identity card and from the personal identification number on the driving licence

Anonymization

• We’ve added anonymization support for new documents:
  • Document number on Germany paper bio-data page Passport
  • Document number on South Korea Identity Card
  • Personal identification number on South Korea driving licence
