Passport detection

Passport detection service

Usage

Run the service

Since some dependencies of the service are platform dependent (ARM64 vs X86_64), a small wrapper around the docker compose command was created to run the service. You can use it just like docker compose:

./passport-service up -d

or

./passport-service up

API documentation

Once the service is up the API documentation is available at http://localhost:8080/docs.

Detect passports

Model

Place your YOLO model exported as a .onnx file in the data/models directory.

Make sure it's correctly exported for batch processing (see how to do it here).

Data

To detect passport you first need to place your documents inside the data/passports directory.

Preprocessing

To process passport run:

curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:8080/passports/preprocessing-tasks' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "docs": "my_doc_dir",
  "detection_args": {"model_path": "model_v0.onnx"},
  "batch_size": 64
}'

This will return you something like:

create-preprocessing-tasks-fd05a3b4d2774b269001cccce2fcf073

You can follow the task progress running:

curl -X 'GET' 'http://localhost:8080/tasks/create-preprocessing-tasks-fd05a3b4d2774b269001cccce2fcf073' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'

and read the progress from the response.

Then when it's done, you can get the list of preprocessing tasks you can call:

curl -X 'GET' 'http://localhost:8080/tasks/create-preprocessing-tasks-fd05a3b4d2774b269001cccce2fcf073/result' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'

Similarly, you can follow each preprocessing task progress.

Preprocessing task will then trigger passport detection on the output of the preprocessing.

You can get the ID of the created detection task from the preprocessing task result:

curl -X 'GET' 'http://localhost:8080/tasks/preprocess-docss-090943423909090000/result' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'

When the deteection task is done, you can also call the above API with it ID to get the final output which should look like this:

  }
]

Notice that for each document, only pages with passports inside them are reported. On these page, there can be many passport pages, the algorithm outputs a bounding box and optionally a Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) for each one of these pages.

Note on ONNX export and dynamic batch size

To overcome some OpenCV limitations, export the pytorch checkpoint using:

model.export(format='onnx', imgsz=640, dynamic=True, opset=12, verbose=True, simplify=True)

Then, follow the instructions of this issue to make OpenCV work with dynamic batch size.

1. simplify using onnxsim
2. set the height and width using:

python -m onnxruntime.tools.make_dynamic_shape_fixed --dim_param <param> --dim_value 640 <input> <output>
