Reading and Writing AAMVA Barcodes on Driver’s Licenses

Posted on 2018-04-02 by Greg

If you’ve renewed your driver’s license any time in the last few years, you have likely noticed an increase in its visual complexity. Many governing bodies have made significant strides towards making forgery more difficult. The unfortunate side-effect from that positive change is that traditional recognition algorithms are more difficult with the many colors, backgrounds, holograms, and layouts.

Old App? No Problem. Mobilize.Net and LEADTOOLS Team Up

Posted on 2018-02-22 by Greg

Do you have any old (sorry, legacy) applications that need upgrading? I don’t just mean something you developed with .NET 2.0…how about VB6? Go ahead, raise your hand, this is a judgement-free zone!

Mobilize.Net and LEADTOOLS teamed up to tackle the following requirements:

  • Migrate an old Enterprise Retail Planning (ERP) application running on a Microsoft Access database to a web application
  • Implement new document imaging technologies like Barcode to add time-saving processes and workflows

Either one of those tasks by itself sounds daunting. Porting an application to a new language and environment is tedious work; and coding all the imaging technology necessary to load and process images could take years of R&D. In short, Mobilize.Net’s WebMap was able to rapidly convert the old VB application to ASP.NET MVC, and LEADTOOLS took care of loading the image and extracting the data encoded in the PDF417 barcode captured from inventory shipments.

To see the full story, head over to the Mobilize.NET blog!
