The ICAO standard passport scanner is a full-page multi-illumination ePassport reader. It captures ultraviolet and infrared
images, as well the full page of a passport in colour. In a simultaneous action, the passport reader also decodes the machine readable zone (MRZ) and processes eData, including name, data of birth, gender, document number, date of expiry, the holder's image etc, from the chip. Some features are optional such as RFID chip reading and the UV image. And the UV is for the document authentic check. The ICAO standard passport scanner significantly speeds up image-processing, thus efficiently reduces queuing time. Generally Speaking, it will take about 2 seconds to capture the images and extract the printed data through OCR technology and read the chip data from contactless RFID chip. Its unique design makes it ideal for kiosks, airports, hotels, banks, duty free shop, travel agency, transportation terminals etc.
