You can build the scripts, start a web server and open a browser, with eg:
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm start
The code is now "same-origin friendly". That means it can be run in the browser from the filesystem (no web server required), with eg:
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install
gulp dist
xdg-open dist/index.html
git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install .
mrz2json [ -d|--dest-dir <directory> ] <png_or_jpg_or_tiff> [...]
or
npm install -g mrz-scanner
mrz2json [ -d|--dest-dir <directory> ] <jpg_or_png_or_tiff> [...]
On success the result will be stored in a file suffixed by ".mrz.json" along the original image by default.
Supported image formats The following formats can be loaded by image-js:
- PNG (8 or 16 bits, color or greyscale, with or without alpha)
- JPEG
- TIFF (8 or 16 bits, greyscale)
