Unsupported image type. GD driver is only able to decode JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP files. about identitydocuments HOT 6 CLOSED

I'll look in to the issue once again. I'd like to replicate the error you're getting so could you comment the way you implemented the package and passed the image?

Thanks @MPJHorner

from identitydocuments.

New Laravel install, with basic config and using the simple controller implementation on your example. Passing both front/back image as JPEGs

from identitydocuments.

I'm able to pass any of the supported image types without issue. Both using images posted in a request and local image path work, and even remote images are supported, so you can give that a go too, for example a simple route to get the MRZ:

Route::post('/id', function(Request $request){
    $id = new IdentityDocument('https://meneercasino.com/sites/default/files/styles/content_width_722_/public/files/kopie_paspoort.jpg');
    $mrz = $id->getMrz();
    return response()->json(['mrz' => $mrz]);
});

returns:

{
    "mrz": "P<NLDDE<BRUIJN<<WILLEKE<LISELOTTE<<<<<<<<<<<SPECI20142NLD6503101F2401151999999990<<<<<82"
}

The error you're getting is not from this package but from Intervention, which means that the issue lies there or in your local environment (most likely). Make sure the GD extension is enabled, and check if there is no limit on the file upload size that might cause your images to not be complete.

Closing this issue, do feel free to provide me with an update in the comments and I'd be happy to help you out further.

Hey @HergenD used the exact example you gave above.
Except I am using tessaract.
This is my code...

Controller

$id = new IdentityDocument('https://meneercasino.com/sites/default/files/styles/content_width_722_/public/files/kopie_paspoort.jpg');
        $id->setOcrService(Tesseract::class);
        $mrz = $id->getMrz();
        
        return response()->json(['mrz' => $mrz]);

Service

class Tesseract implements OCR
{
    public function ocr(Image $image): OcrResponse
    {
        // TODO: Add OCR and return text
        // return new OcrResponse('Response text');
         // Store your image in a temp folder
         $imagePath = sys_get_temp_dir().md5(microtime().random_bytes(5)).'.jpg';
         $image->save($imagePath);
 
         // Use Tesseract to create text response
         $response = (new TesseractOCR($imagePath))->run();
        // dd($response);
         // Return the new response
         $return = new OcrResponse($response);
         return $return;
    }
}

If i dd($response) in the service I can see the text.
However the json restore should $mrz is empty? Does it parse the correct values back from tessaract or do I need to pass it back differently in my service?

It currently returns this..

You seems to get an error due to there being a ¢ in the MRZ part of the tesseract result, I've had similar issues with tesseract being less accurate than google vision, a solution is to filter the result from any characters that you would not need to find on the document, like ¢. You could do that in the tesseract service before returning the result
