v1.4.0

Improvements

• Introduced CaptureFilter:
  • If you need additional checks on Capture result images, you can use CaptureFilter. This feature is optional.
  • Capture filter filters capture results after each successful side capture (accepts or drops captured side). If the captured image is filtered out, the capture process is restarted for the current side and the same side is captured again in the same camera session.
  • We are providing one specific implementation of the CaptureFilter in capture-filter-blinkid library which uses the BlinkID SDK and accepts document images that are extractable by the BlinkID SDK.
• Updated introduction dialog with new image and "Turn your phone to landscape mode" message
• Introduced AnalyzerRunner.resetSide function used to retake the current document side.
• Upgraded CameraX dependency to the latest stable version v1.3.4.

v1.3.0

Improvements

• Added translations for the following languages: Arabic, Chinese in China, Chinese in Taiwan, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Filipino, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Malay, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Thai and Vietnamese.
• Accessibility improvements in the UI

Minor API changes

• Added option AnalyzerSettings.keepDpiOnTransformedDocumentImage:
  • Determines whether to preserve the captured document DPI on transformed document image. If disabled, the document DPI is downscaled to 400 DPI.
• Added option AnalyzerSettings.enforcedDocumentGroup:
  • Enforces a specific document group, overriding the analyzer's document classification. This setting impacts the number of sides scanned to match the enforced group, and the way document image is transformed.

Other changes

• Native code is now built using NDK r26c and uses dynamic c++ runtime (libc++_shared.so)
  • In case when multiple different dependencies use the same runtime in the same app, the latest available version of the library should be packaged into the app.
• Added android.permission.INTERNET permission to the manifest of capture-core library
  • This permission is needed in order to correctly perform license key validation for licenses that require online validation.

v1.2.0

Minor API changes

• Introduced BlurPolicy, GlarePolicy and TiltPolicy which are used to enable strict, normal, relaxed or disabled policies.
• AnalyzerSettings changes:
  • Replaced tiltThreshold with tiltPolicy.
  • Replaced ignoreGlare with glarePolicy.
  • Replaced ignoreBlur with blurPolicy.

v1.1.0

Improvements

• SDK is available on Microblink maven repository for easier integration. You no longer need to worry about additional dependencies required by the Capture SDK - they are included as transitive dependencies.
• Introduced support for the Direct API integration:
  • When using the Direct API, you are responsible for preparing input image stream (or static images) for analysis and building a completely custom UX from scratch based on the image-by-image feedback from the SDK.
  • Direct API gives you more flexibility with the cost of a significantly larger integration effort. For example, if you need a camera, you will be responsible for camera management and displaying real-time user guidance.
• Introduced validation of the DPI requirements from the AnalyzerSettings:
  • If the user should position the document aligned with the device screen to occupy a larger area on the input image (enables higher capture resolution), we display the animated instructions to rotate the document or phone (to landscape or portrait).
  • If the required minimumDocumentDpi cannot be satisfied because of the selected camera resolution on a specific device and automatic DPI adjustment is not enabled by the adjustMinimumDocumentDpi flag - we display the error dialog and terminate the Capture screen immediately after the dialog dismissal.
• Added a new option adjustMinimumDocumentDpi to the AnalyzerSettings. It is used to enable minimum document DPI adjustment. If it is enabled, the minimum DPI is adjusted to the optimal value for the provided input resolution to facilitate the capture of all document groups.
• Added dpiAdjusted member to SideCaptureResult. If the document is captured at a lower DPI than requesteed by AnalyzerSettings.minimumDocumentDpi, a flag is set to true.
• Added support for online checked licenses.

Minor API changes

• Expanded CaptureResult.Status with two new statuses:
  • ERROR_LICENCE_CHECK - Capture process has been canceled because of the licence check error. This happens if you use a licence that should be online activated and activation fails.
  • ERROR_ANALYZER_SETTINGS_UNSUITABLE - Capture process has been canceled because of the AnalyzerSettings validation error.
• SDK is distributed as two separate libraries:
  • capture-core provides image analysis and capture without UX, which is enough for Direct API integration
  • capture-ux depends on capture-core and contains default UX implementation with limited customization possibilities. It enables straightforward integration with minimal effort.
• Renamed all occurrences of analyse to analyze in code.
• Changed default value of AnalyzerSettings.minimumDocumentDpi to 230
