SBSDKIDCardRecognizer

@interface SBSDKIDCardRecognizer : NSObject

A recognizer for personal ID cards. Detects and recognizes ID cards on images or video frames and extracts the data fields, like names, dates, photos, signatures and machine readable zones.

Detection is a quick way to check, if there is an ID card present on an image or video frame. Recognition is slower but additionally extracts the data fields from the ID card.

Note: Currently limited to german ID cards.

  • The accepted minimal sharpness score. Images with a score less than that will be rejected with blurry status.

    0 - any image will be accepted. 80 - a good compromise; the recommended setting. 100 - only very sharp images will be accepted.

    The default value is 80.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) CGFloat sharpnessAcceptanceFactor;

    Swift

    var sharpnessAcceptanceFactor: CGFloat { get set }

  • An array of recognizable document types. Pass an empty array or nil to accept all supported document types. The default value is nil, accepting all supported document types.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, strong, nullable) NSArray<SBSDKIDCardType *> *acceptedDocumentTypes;

    Swift

    var acceptedDocumentTypes: [SBSDKIDCardType]? { get set }

  • Detects an ID card on a video frame. Does not recognize and extract field data.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nullable SBSDKIDCardRecognizerResult *)
    detectIDCardOnBuffer:(nonnull CMSampleBufferRef)sampleBufferRef
             orientation:(AVCaptureVideoOrientation)videoOrientation;

    Swift

    func detectIDCard(on sampleBufferRef: CMSampleBuffer, orientation videoOrientation: AVCaptureVideoOrientation) -> SBSDKIDCardRecognizerResult?

    Parameters

    sampleBufferRef

    The CMSampleBuffer instance to detect an ID card on.
    videoOrientation
