document_scan 0.3.0
document_scan: ^0.3.0 copied to clipboard
Headless document scanner for Flutter — detects a document's corners in live camera frames and photos, offline. Composable engine, not a fullscreen UI.
0.3.0 #
Three behaviour fixes. No API breaks — every existing call still compiles — but scans, filters and auto-capture signals change, so this is a minor bump rather than a patch.
- The perspective correction is now an actual perspective correction.
DocumentProcessor.cropmapped the output to the source with a four-corner bilinear blend, which pins the corners exactly and gets everything between them wrong: it has no perspective division, so the foreshortening a tilted page introduces was never undone, only stretched out linearly. On a page photographed at ~50°, ten equal bands came back on a ramp — 32 px to 54 px against an ideal 42.5 — bending text spacing and hurting OCR. Replaced with the projective transform (homography) this always should have been; the same scene now recovers 42–43 px bands. Degenerate quads fall back to the old bilinear map, and non-finite coordinates are clamped, so a bad quad still yields a bad crop rather than a crash. ScanFilter.blackWhitenow actually binarizes. It applied a contrast + brightness boost and left a full range of greys behind, contradicting both its own dartdoc andenhance's ("without the hard binarization ofblackWhite"). It now thresholds every pixel to ink or paper with Otsu's method — one global cut, the fast, crisp choice on an evenly-lit page, withmagicColorstill the per-region option for shadows and gradients. If you were on 0.2.x and wanted whatblackWhiteactually did, switch toScanFilter.enhance: grayscale plus a contrast boost, which is the same family of result and keeps its greys.- Auto-capture fires once per hold again. While latched,
AutoCaptureAnalyzer.addEventechoedreadyback on everyDetectionSkipped, soshouldCapturere-fired on dropped frames — anddetectStream(minInterval:)makes dropped frames the common case, turning one steady hold into a burst of captures. A skip now reportsdetecting(orsearchingwhen nothing has been seen) while still holding the accumulated steadiness. DocumentScanner.detectCornerstakes asensitivityargument, likescan,detectanddetectStreamalready did. It defaults tobalanced— for corners you're about to show, a wrong quad the user must drag back is worse than no quad.- Example: the home-menu test asserted five demo rows and has been failing since the camera-capture flow made it six. It now checks the titles themselves, so a new screen that isn't wired into the menu fails loudly instead of silently.
- Docs: corrected the README filter table (
magicColorwas described as "brightened, saturated color"), the_orderByAngletie-break description, the claim thatDocumentProcessor"works anywhere Flutter runs" (background: trueneedsIsolate.run, which web lacks), and noted that a background crop copies aBytesScanInput's buffer while aFileScanInputcarries only a path.
0.2.3 #
- Declare the logo under
screenshots:so it renders as the pub.flutter-io.cn listing thumbnail (0.2.2 shipped the image but didn't register it).
0.2.2 #
Visual identity only — no API or behaviour changes.
- Add a package logo, shown as the pub.flutter-io.cn listing thumbnail.
- Add a landscape cover image for link/social previews.
0.2.1 #
Docs & discoverability only — no API or behaviour changes.
- Add runnable code examples to the dartdoc of
DocumentScanner.scan,DocumentDetector.detect, andDocumentDetector.detectStream, so the API reference stands on its own without jumping back to the README. - Sharpen the package description and README to lead with what sets it apart — a headless engine that hands you the document's corner coordinates, offline, rather than a fullscreen scanner UI.
- Retune
topicsfor discovery. - Fix a broken link in the API reference: a dartdoc reference pointed at
VNRectangleObservation, an iOS-only Swift type with no Dart symbol, so it rendered as a dead link on theconfidencedocs. Now plain code text.
0.2.0 #
DetectionSensitivity(strict/balanced/lenient) — a portable control over how eagerly a rectangle counts as a document, ondetect,detectStream, andscan. The level is the contract; each native engine maps it to its own thresholds (Vision confidence + min-size on iOS; contour-area, adaptive-Canny band, corner-angle, and score floor on Android). Context defaults:detectStream→strict,scan→lenient,detect→balanced.detectStream(minInterval:)— cap the detection rate so a 30–60 fps camera doesn't run native detection on every frame (which heats the device without a smoother overlay). Frames that arrive too soon are dropped asDetectionSkippedbefore reaching the engine.- Android detection reworked for recall on solid / low-contrast documents: a
multi-strategy candidate generator (adaptive Canny + close, adaptive-threshold
silhouette, Triangle auto-threshold) pooled through
convexHull+ anapproxPolyDPepsilon sweep, then scored by rectangularity + right-angle-ness instead of taking the first/largest quad.RETR_EXTERNAL, a max-area cap, and a per-level score floor reject the whole-frame false capture and background clutter that a single Canny pass either missed or over-triggered on. - Example: a camera-capture flow (live preview → shutter → scan → result), the realtime flow now grabs a full-resolution still on auto-capture and shows the scanned result (with an auto/manual toggle), a shared pinch-zoomable result screen, tap-to-inspect multi-page thumbnails, and a working PDF export via the system share sheet.
0.1.1 #
DocumentProcessor.pagesToPdf(List<ScannedDocument>)— combine several scanned pages into one multi-page PDF (one A4 page per scan, in order). The multi-page counterpart tooutput: ScanOutputFormat.pdf; pass the pages you collected in aScanSession. Each page's bytes are embedded as-is (no re-encode); returns null for an empty list.
0.1.0 #
Initial release.
DocumentScanner— one-call scanning:scan(input)detects and crops; passcorners:to skip detection and crop user-adjusted corners instead.DocumentDetector— document corner detection for still images (detect) and live camera frames (detectStream), backed by Apple Vision on iOS and OpenCV on Android, with per-frame downscaling for realtime performance.detectStreamemits a sealedDetectionEvent(DetectionSuccess/DetectionEmpty/DetectionSkipped/DetectionError) so a consumer can tell an empty scene from a backpressure drop from a native error, rather than a blindnull. Corners carry aconfidence(engine value on iOS, geometric heuristic on Android).CornerStabilizer— optional EMA smoothing for the live corner stream, so an overlay drawn fromdetectStream(stabilize: ...)stays steady instead of jittering; snaps rather than slides when the document jumps.DocumentProcessor— pure-Dart perspective correction (crop) withgrayscale,enhance,blackWhite,sharpen, and adaptivemagicColorfilters. Output as PNG, JPEG, or a single-page PDF viaScanOutputFormat. Undecodable input (and a degenerate/1px warp) returnsnullrather than throwing.AutoCaptureAnalyzer— pure-Dart stream analyzer that signals when a document has been held steady and confident long enough to auto-capture. Pipe the detector straight in withbindEvents(detectStream(...))(orbindCorners/addEventfor finer control) — the event distinctions are preserved.DocumentProcessor.cropcaps the warp output's long side atmaxDimension(default 2000px, aspect-preserving; passnullto warp at full resolution) so a near-full-frame high-megapixel photo doesn't produce a needlessly huge scan.- Off-UI-thread crop:
crop/applyFiltertake abackgroundflag (defaultfalse) that runs the pure-Dart warp+filter on a background isolate; theDocumentScanner.scanfaçade defaults it totrue, so the simple path never janks the UI without the caller reaching forIsolate.run. ScanSession— an immutable multi-page container (add / reorder / remove).- Plugin-free value types with value equality:
ScanInput(with format-specificbgraFrame/yuvFrameframe factories),DocumentCorners(geometry-ordered corners + confidence),ScannedDocument,ScanFilter,ScanOutputFormat(png/jpeg/pdfconstants, plusjpegAt(quality)). - Example app with four flows: gallery scan, realtime overlay (detectStream +
CornerStabilizer + AutoCaptureAnalyzer over a live camera), manual corner
edit (drag-adjust → crop with
corners:), and reprocess (detect once, swap filters live). PlainStatefulWidget, no state-management dependency.
