Developing a Web MRZ and VIN Scanner using JavaScript, HTML5, and Dynamsoft Capture Vision SDK enables scanning MRZ and VIN directly in the browser.
The tutorial covers setting up HTML structure, initializing MRZ and VIN recognition engines, accessing the camera, implementing scanner logic, drawing overlays and results, and running the MRZ/VIN scanner.
HTML structure includes sections for license key setup, input source selection, scanning mode toggle, image display, camera stream, and live scanning results.
The recognition engines for MRZ and VIN are initialized in the activate() function, setting up the license key, loading required models, and registering result receivers for MRZ and VIN.
Accessing the camera involves using Dynamsoft Capture Vision SDK's CameraEnhancer and CameraView classes for managing camera access and live video display.
Scanner logic involves methods like capture() for image recognition and startCapturing() for continuous camera scanning, distinguishing between MRZ and VIN modes.
Drawing overlays on images and video streams helps highlight recognized areas, with parsed results displayed in a text area for detailed information.
To run the Web MRZ/VIN scanner, start a local server using Python and access the project directory through a web browser at http://localhost:8000.
The source code for the MRZ/VIN scanner can be found on GitHub for reference and further exploration.
