ClearImage Driver License Reader SDK. Extract personal identification and reference data from US and Canada Driver Licenses and ID cards. Read the PDF417 and 1D barcodes from identification documents around the world using optimized image enhancement algorithms. It's a Handheld 2D Barcode Scanner, and I want to use it to scan the barcode on the back of a driver's license, then populate forms with the resulting data. I'm using a special 'sample' Maryland driver's license for testing, but it conforms to the AAMVA standards for universal license data coding. Thankfully, new driver’s licenses also have PDF417 barcodes on them, and in North America, follow specifications laid out by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). These barcodes are small, error resistant, and can encode a lot of information. According to the Card Design Standard by AAMVA, the PDF417 two-dimensional bar code symbology is the minimum mandatory machine-readable technology that must be present on compliant driving license/identification documents.The barcode encodes key information about the cardholder, including name, date of birth, sex, eye color, height and many others.

1. Scan the back of your license / permit using a medium - high resolution. Codec media player free download. The resolution should be set so that the 2d barcode is about 2000 pixels long. 2. Open up the image in Photoshop and cut out the 2d barcode. The 2d barcode is the one on the bottom in the picture. Most states use the PDF-417 (Portable Data File, with 17 modules each containing 4 bars and spaces, thus 417). Edit the barcode so that it is exactly 2000 or less pixels long because that is the maximum the program will allow, and save it. 3.
