SBSDKScannerViewController

@interface SBSDKScannerViewController : SBSDKBaseCameraViewController

UIViewController subclass showing a camera screen and running a user guiding Document detector. Detection result is visualized using a polygonal bezier path. This class cannot be instanced from a storyboard. Instead it is installing itself as a child view controller onto a given parent view controller.

  • The delegate. See SBSDKScannerViewControllerDelegate protocol. Weak.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, weak, nullable) id<SBSDKScannerViewControllerDelegate> delegate;

    Swift

    weak var delegate: SBSDKScannerViewControllerDelegate? { get set }

  • The mode of the document detector to be used for document outline detection. Defaults to standard mode.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) SBSDKDocumentDetectorMode detectorMode;

    Swift

    var detectorMode: SBSDKDocumentDetectorMode { get set }

  • YES, if energy saving is active. NO otherwise. Energy saving becomes active when shutter mode is SBSDKShutterModeSmart and, for a certain time no document has been detected and the device was not moved significantly.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly) BOOL energySavingActive;

    Swift

    var energySavingActive: Bool { get }

  • The image storage. If not nil, cropped document images will be saved there, independently from what the delegate is doing. Weak.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, weak, nullable) id<SBSDKImageStoring> imageStorage;

    Swift

    weak var imageStorage: SBSDKImageStoring? { get set }

  • Scaling factor being applied to captured still shots before processing. Must be in the range 0.0 < imageScale <= 1.0. Invalid values are treated as 1.0. Defaults to 0.8. Used to scale images before processing them. Lower numbers reduce memory pressure.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) CGFloat imageScale;

    Swift

    var imageScale: CGFloat { get set }

  • Sensitivity factor for automatic capturing. Must be in the range [0.0…1.0]. Invalid values are treated as 1.0. Defaults to 0.66 (1 sec).s A value of 1.0 triggers automatic capturing immediately, a value of 0.0 delays the automatic by 3 seconds.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) CGFloat autoCaptureSensitivity;

    Swift

    var autoCaptureSensitivity: CGFloat { get set }

  • The minimum size in percent (0 - 100) of the screen size to accept a detected document. It is sufficient that height or width match the score. Default is 80.0. Warning: Lower values result in low resolution document images.

    Declaration

    @property (nonatomic) double acceptedSizeScore;

    Swift

    var acceptedSizeScore: Double { get set }

  • The minimum score in percent (0 - 100) of the perspective distortion to accept a detected document. Default is 75.0. Set lower values to accept more perspective distortion. Warning: Lower values result in more blurred document images.

    @property (nonatomic) SBSDKBarcodeImageGenerationType barcodeImageGenerationType;

    Swift

    var barcodeImageGenerationType: SBSDKBarcodeImageGenerationType { get set }

  • Specifies the amount of frames barcode scanner takes before detecting. Uses the sharpest frame. So setting more frames generally improves recognition quality, but reduces recognition speed. Keep in mind, that detectionRate also has influence on recognition speed, as it determines the amount of frames that can be read per second. Default to 5.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) NSInteger barcodeAccumulatedFramesCount;

    Swift

    var barcodeAccumulatedFramesCount: Int { get set }

  • After capturing an image the receiver re-detects the document on the captured image in order to get a more accurate and refined document polygon. It then compares the refined polygon to the last valid polygon detected on the live video sample. An algorithm then determines automatically whether document polygon from the live video or the refined polygon from the captured image is used to finally crop the document image.

    This flags allows to override the algorithm making the polygon decision. If set to YES, always the refined polygon is used for the final cropping. Otherwise the algorithm chooses the polygon for final cropping.

    Defaults to NO.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) BOOL alwaysApplyRefinedPolygon;

    Swift

    var alwaysApplyRefinedPolygon: Bool { get set }

    Swift

  • Defines the region of interest when scanning barcodes or other machine readable codes. Machine readable codes found outside this region of interest are discarded and ignored during detection. The property describes the aspect ratio (width / height) of the region of interest. This aspect ratio, in conjunction with the screen size and capturingFrameMinimumInset parameter, is used to create an absolute region of interest and render a view finder like rounded rectangle on screen. The 0 aspect ratio or nil effectively disables the region of interest.

    Note: Only effective if finderMode equals SBSDKFinderModeCapturingFrame.

    Objective-C
