: Object detectors such as Faster R‑CNN [5], YOLOv8 [6], and EfficientDet [7] have become de‑facto standards. However, their performance on low‑resolution, heavily distorted ID images remains under‑explored.
Data augmentation (random motion blur, brightness jitter, perspective warp) during OCR training yields a 22 % relative CER reduction. | Pipeline | E2E Accuracy | Composite Score (S) | |----------|--------------|---------------------| | YOLOv8 MIDV-550
YOLOv8‑x attains the highest detection recall (98 %) while maintaining real‑time speed on mobile‑grade CPUs (≈ 150 ms per image using TensorRT). | Model | Mean IoU (all fields) | MRZ IoU | Portrait IoU | |-------|----------------------|----------|--------------| | Mask RCNN (ResNeXt‑101) | 0.78 | 0.84 | 0.71 | | DETR‑Doc (ViT‑B) | 0.74 | 0.80 | 0.68 | | Mask RCNN + Geometric Refine (baseline) | 0.82 | 0.88 | 0.75 | : Object detectors such as Faster R‑CNN [5],
