Complete portable pipeline for masking of Aadhaar Number adhering to Govt. Privacy Guidelines.

Overview

Aadhaar Number Masking Pipeline

Implementation of a complete pipeline that masks the Aadhaar Number in given images to adhere to Govt. of India's Privacy Guidelines for storage of Aadhaar Card images in digital repository. The following project was carried out as an internship for Muthoot Finance. We make use of the open source packages CRAFT text detector | Paper | Pretrained Model | Github Repo provided by Clova AI Research for OSD and combine a heurestic model with pytesseract OCR for masking.

Versions

The search for the best masking pipeline led us to experiment with several different approaches. We have documented our experiments in other branches.

Branch(->model) Speed/Performance Pipeline
main Best performing CRAFT + pytesseract + dimensional heuristics
CNN_OCR->cnn_model Fastest masking CRAFT + LeNet trained by us
CNN_OCR->cnn_model_2 Fastest masking CRAFT + LeNet trained by us
UNET_OCDR Theoretically Fastest but trained model unavailable** UNet

**We proposed and implemented a pipeline which uses a single UNet model for achieving a desirable mask. A single model would have made the inference very fast and real time use capable on mobile devices. Training meant creating a dataset since the company could not legally provide us the needed data. After several trials, we halted work on this model because with barely 150 unique datapoints available, a data hungry UNet Model is simply unsatiable for now.

Datasets

Lenet was trained on our self-created labelled dataset | labels.

Getting started

Install dependencies

Requirements

  • torch
  • opencv-python
  • tesseract-ocr
  • check requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt

Test instructions

  • Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/thefurorjuror/Aadhaar_Masker.git
  • Run on an image folder
python [folder path to the cloned repo]/masker.py --test_folder=[folder path to test images] --output_folder=[folder path to output images] --cuda=[True/False]
#Example- When one is inside the cloned repo
python masker.py --test_folder=./images/ --output_folder=./output/ --cuda=True

cuda is set to False by default.
