Case Study: a startup in security printing achieves secure infrared brand verification with InData Labs OCR solution

a startup in the niche of security printing delivers the only Android-compatible OCR solution with InData Labs

The customer, a startup in the niche of security printing, needed a custom OCR solution to enable Android phones to scan and recognize hidden security marks visible only in infrared. They engaged InData Labs for its OCR software development services to build a proof-of-concept Android application that could fine-tune data gathering via a camera and integrate an algorithm for instant online verification.

InData Labs developed a proprietary OCR algorithm using OpenCV and Tesseract OCR to scan the hidden infrared codes. The solution involved linking an IR camera to the Android app via USB and building a backend for image enhancement, autorotation, and processing. The result was a high-quality, automated data capture software, which was the only working solution compatible with Android, successfully augmenting the client's existing application with AI-powered infrared scanning capabilities.
