Unable to scan VIN. No Results returned

Hi I'm using the Android demo app to click VIN numbers and scan them for results using Cloud OCR but no results are returned. Do you suitable solution for recognizing VIN numbers?

I do not see any option to upload images other I could share few sample pics.

Regards, Vivek

    Unfortunalely, this type of text (combination of different fonts) is too complex to be recognized completely. I can only extract the text like "1G1YY25A6957000DI" or "1.GLXL25R695700001" from the first image.

    To extract the text I do the following:

    1) invert the image (in general it is possible to recognize inverted text without any preprocessing, but in case of low text quality it's better to invert text on your side);

    2) process image with the processTextField method (in this method it's necessary to specify the exact text coordinates); texttype=normal,handprinted. You can test it using our C# GUI sample:

    Thanks AG. After inversion and extracting the text I'm getting a better response. I'll get back to you in case any further info is required.

    Thanks Vivek
