# Given a Passport document, extract the passport holder face and convert/parse all Machine Readable Zone

# PixLab recommend that you connect your AWS S3 bucket via the dashboard at https://pixlab.io/dashboard
# so that any extracted face or MRZ crop is automatically stored on your S3 bucket rather than the PixLab one.
# This feature should give you full control over your analyzed media files.
