Octopii is a Python script capable of analyzing images using artificial intelligence to verify and recover personal data. The script takes care of straightening and cleaning images and can recognize identification documents such as passports or identity cards. It employs optical character recognition (OCR) to extract data from these documents.
After retrieving information from the image and the text, the algorithm classifies each image, allowing it to be later checked by a human.
The Octopii interface displays collected data (see screenshot).
This tool serves the purpose of checking if personal information has leaked on the Internet or validating the presence of an identity on scanned or transmitted documents.
To install and test Octopii, visit the GitHub project.
