6.9.0

Expanded document coverage

  • All of the new documents & document versions can also be seen in the release notes for native Android and iOS SDKs.

Custom mandatory fields

  • We’re introducing the option to define a custom set of mandatory fields. This feature allows greater flexibility in the scanning process by enabling the extraction of only the necessary information from identity documents.
  • Custom mandatory fields can be set at the document level or applied universally to all document types.
  • Custom mandatory fields can be set with CustomClassRules and DetailedFieldType

Glare and blur detection

  • We’ve introduced glare detection to BlinkID, which removes occlusion on document images caused by glare.
  • We’ve raised the threshold for our blur model, making it stricter. This improvement ensures that sharper images are accepted for processing.
    • To disable the glare and blur filters, modify the enableBlurFilter and enableGlareFilter properties on the BlinkID recognizers (filters are enabled by default).
    • The strictness level can be modified to Strict, Normal and Relaxed on the glareStrictnessLevel and blurStrictnessLevel properties with StrictnessLevel.
    • To check if glare and blur are present on the document after the scanning process has finished, see glareDetected and blurDetected properties ****in ****ImageAnalysisResult.

UI Settings

  • Real-time feedback during scanning includes a new UI message to help users position the document correctly and reduce glare and blur.
    • Check errorGlareDetected and errorBlurDetected in the BlinkIdOverlaySettings.
  • We have added camera presets to each platform
    • Modify AndroidCameraResolutionPreset and iOSCameraResolutionPreset in BlinkIdOverlaySettings to change different to camera resolutions if necessary.
  • Camera Legacy API - Android-specific
    • We have added enableAndroidLegacyCameraApi property. This setting should only be used if the new Camera2 API is not working on the device, and it should not be applied to all devices.

6.7.0

  • Updated to Android SDK v6.7.0 and iOS SDK v6.7.0
  • Updated the SDK with new regions and types, which can be found in the native documentation with version 6.6.0 Android and iOS
  • Added Real ID symbol detection on US driver's licenses in the ImageAnalysisResult class.
  • Added partial anonymization of the Document Number field.
    • Anonymization can be added in ClassAnonymizationSettings class by additionally adding DocumentNumberAnonymizationSettings.
  • Added BarcodeDetectionFailed to ProcessingStatus.
    • It is returned when the mandatory barcode is not present on the back of US documents.
  • Added settings showCancelButton and showTorchButton in BlinkIdOverlaySettings with which the ‘Cancel’ and ‘Torch’ buttons in the scanning UI can be shown or hidden.
  • This version of the SDK contains the native iOS BlinkID.xcframework with the privacy manifest file (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy).
  • Fixed issue with setting the SDK language for Android.

Major API update

  • We have introduced the DirectAPI method of scanning, which allows the SDK to extract the document information from static images without the need to use the device’s camera and our UI.
  • Usage:
    • The scanWithDirectApi method requires four parameters:
    • recognizerCollection, which is a collection of Recognizers used for document scanning.
    • frontImage, which would represent the front image of the document in the Base64 format string
    • backImage, which would represent the back image of the document in the Base64 format string
      • the backImage parameter is optional when using the BlinkIdSingleSideRecognizer, and can be passed as null or an empty string (””).
    • licenses, the licenses for iOS and Android required to unlock the SDK
  • An example of its usage can be found in the sample application , both for the Multiside and Singleside scanning.
  • More information about the DirectAPI scanning can be found here in the native documentation for Android and iOS .
  • We still recommend using our ‘regular’ way of scanning with the camera, as static images can sometimes be in lower-quality which can cause SDK extraction error. It would be best to use the scanWithDirectApi method when using the device’s camera is not an option.
