DocumentScanner

This pod contains a ready to use view controller for document scanning.

Requirements

iOS 10.0 SDK or later

Installation

DocumentScanner is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'DocumentScanner', :git => 'https://github.com/adorsys/document-scanner-ios'

Using this Pod

Scanner View Controller

The main class in this project is ScannerViewController. You can access it with import DocumentScanner.

class ViewController: UIViewController,  {
  var scannedImage: UIImage?

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let scanner = ScannerViewController()
    scanner.delegate = self
    navigationController?.pushViewController(scanner, animated: true)
  }
}

Delegate Methods

The scanner will not capture images without a delegate. You should therefore set the delegate property of the scanner VC.

You will then receive calls when the scanner found an image of suitable quality:

extension ViewController: ScannerViewControllerDelegate {
  func didCapture(image: UIImage) {
    scannedImage = image
    navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
  }
}

Scanner Quality

You can customize the scanner's accuracy using the jitter property. Higher values will make it easier to capture an image, but it won't be as steady.

The default value here is 100.

The Scanner resolution can be configured by passing the ScannerViewController an AVCaptureSession.Preset during initialization. The default value is .high. If the given preset isn't supported by the capture device, it'll fall back to the default value.

UI Configuration

The scanner's UI can be configured using the initializer:

ScannerViewController(config: [.all])

The following options are available:

.targetBraces: A button to toggle targeting braces
.torch: A button for controlling the torch
.manualCapture: A manual camera shutter

The default value here is .all

You can also configure the previewColor (color of scan preview rect) and braceColor (color of the target finder braces).

The defaults here are UIColor.green and UIColor.red, respectively.

Performance hint

The scanner takes quite some time to fire up the AVCaptureSession, etc, which means initializing a ScannerViewController is expensive.

Depending on your use case, it probably makes sense to store a strong reference to the ScannerViewController in the presenting View Controller (as seen in the Example project).
