Use of AI in Cloud-Based Certificate Authentication for Travel Concession

Abstract

Certificate Authentication is a big challenging task in a socio-economic country like India. 28 states and 8 union territories with diversified cultures and languages make it a big voluminous task. There is an urgent need to automate this authentication task. This paper proposes the cloud-based certificate authentication. Google Cloud services are used to automate the authentication process. Vision API and flask framework are explored which allows developers to easily integrate vision detection features within applications including Image labeling, Face and landmark detection, Optical character recognition and Tagging of explicit contents. The proposed arrangement makes use of Cloud Vision API optical character recognition to infer the presence of required fields in scanned PDF. Recognized fields will be communicated in the output report.
