Changes to IDBarcodeRecognizer

Changes to BlinkID(Combined) Recognizer

• We’ve renamed the Swaziland country to Eswatini in results and ClassInfo
• Improved result validation
  • FieldIdentificationFailed processing status is used to indicate if unexpected fields are present on the document. Those fields are then deleted from the result
• We are filling out COUNTRY and REGION fields in ClassInfo, without the field TYPE of document, when using BarcodeID mode for scanning documents where the Front side is not supported, and back side results are extracted from AAMVA compliant barcodes
  • This applies only if ClassInfo isn’t already prepopulated in some other way and when you’re not in FullRecognition mode

ImageCapture

• Added support for including or excluding groups of documents supported by the current license with the captureModeFilter setting
  • Scanning of documents with AAMVA compliant barcodes with BarcodeID mode
  • Scanning of all licensed documents in BlinkID FullRecognition mode

Improvements

• We can now extract the date of birth from the document number on the South Korean identity card and from the personal identification number on the driving licence

Anonymization

  • Personal identification number on South Korea driving licence

New features specific to the C SDK

• We've introduced a new function that lets you create MBRecognizerImage directly from a file:
  • Use recognizerImageLoadFromFile to create a MBRecognizerImage from any JPEG and PNG file
  • You can load another file format using a third-party library and then convert it to MBRecognizerImage by calling recognizerImageCreateFromRawImage

Minor API breaking changes

• Functions recognizerImageCreateFromRawImage and recognizerImageSetNewRawBuffer now use uint16_t to specify image dimensions:
  • This used to be int for width and height and size_t for pixel stride, which was wrong because the SDK doesn't support images larger than 65535x65535 (grayscale) or 16383x16383 (4-channel color). Instead of crashing, the SDK will now produce a compile-time warning when images of this (or greater) size are given to it. If you need support for such images, please let us know.
  • Functions recognizerImageGetWidth, recognizerImageGetHeight and recognizerImageGetBytesPerRow now also return uint16_t for the same reason.

Other features and updates

• We've reduced memory fragmentation when processing video frames.

Changes to BlinkID(Combined) Recognizer

• We've added the parameter maxAllowedMismatchesPerField to settings. When this is set to a non-zero value, DataMatch will be successful as long as the number of mismatched characters doesn't exceed the specified value.
• We've added the parameter allowUncertainFrontSideScan to settings. When this parameter is set to true, the Recognizer will proceed scanning the back side of the document even if the front side scanning result State is MB_RECOGNIZER_RESULT_STATE_UNCERTAIN.
• We've enabled the return of image and back side data results, even when the recognitionStatus is MB_RECOGNIZER_RESULT_STATE_UNCERTAIN. Keep in mind that returned images, in this case, might be blurry or low quality.
  • This applies to all image types: full document image, face and signature image.

Changes to the BlinkId(Combined)Recognizer:

• We enabled retrieving the face image and cropped document image on all documents with AAMVA-compliant barcodes. This behavior activates the MB_RECOGNITION_MODE_BARCODE_ID MBRecognitionMode. You can opt-out of this behavior by setting enableBarcodeId to MB_FALSE in the MBRecognitionModeFilter.
  • This enables scanning US driver licenses and IDs on which OCR isn't supported. Use this new recognition mode to extract:
    • Face image from the front side
    • Barcode data from the back side
    • Cropped document images for both sides.
• We've improved data extraction through the MRZ:
  • We now allow standard M/F values for gender on Mexican documents (along with localized H/M values)
• We're now converting dates to the Gregorian calendar:
  • On Taiwan documents with ROC calendar dates
  • On Saudi documents with Islamic calendar dates
• We're now filling all date fields when dates are written in a 'partial' form (year only or month-year only):
  • Date of issue will be converted to the first day of the (first) month
    • E.g. '1999' will be converted to '01.01.1999.'
    • E.g. '03.1999.' will be converted to '01.03.1999.'
  • Date of expiry will be converted to the last day of the (last) month
    • E.g. '1999' will be converted to '31.12.1999.'
    • E.g. '03.1999.' will be converted to '31.03.1999.'

v5.10.0

  ​

Changes to the BlinkId(Combined)Recognizer:

​

• We're now able to extract the additional address on Hungary Address Cards
• We've improved data extraction through the MRZ:
  • We now return the document type through MBClassInfo, regardless of the MBRecognitionMode you're using (MB_RECOGNITION_MODE_MRZ_ID, MB_RECOGNITION_MODE_MRZ_PASSPORT or MB_RECOGNITION_MODE_MRZ_VISA).
  • This means you can now use classFilter to filter these documents by their type.
  • We now return the document number on Nigeria IDs complete with its check digit.
  • We now support Italy Residence Permits with a CR document code.
• We've extended the MBClassInfo structure with helper methods so you can filter documents by country more easily:
  • Use countryName, isoNumericCountryCode, isoAlpha2CountryCode and isoAlpha3CountryCode to get the full country names or their representative codes defined by ISO.
• We've extended the MBBarcodeResult structure with extendedElements
  • You can find all data from AAMVA-compliant barcodes under their respective BarcodeElementKey in the extendedElements array
  • For a full list of keys please see here

  • This status is triggered once BlinkID has finished with the first side of a document and expects the other side, too.
• We're now able to extract the date of birth from the CURP field on Mexico Voter IDs
• We've added a new recognition mode for recognizing still images of documents that have already been cropped:
  • Set the scanCroppedDocumentImage to MB_TRUE when you're feeding BlinkID images of documents that have already been cropped and don't require detection.
  • Keep in mind that this setting won't work on document images that haven't been properly cropped.
    ​

Changes to the IdBarcodeRecognizer:

​

• We've extended the results with extendedElements
  • You can find all data from AAMVA-compliant barcodes under their respective BarcodeElementKey in the extendedElements array

New features

  • The MacOS binary is now a fat binary, containing Intel x64 and ARM64 slices
  • The iOS binary is now packaged as a XCFramework containing slices for device (armv7 + arm64), simulator (arm64 + x86_64 + i386) and Mac Catalyst (arm64 + x86_64)
    ​

Fixes

​

• We've increased the time before a connection timeout is declared, while obtaining server-side license permission or reporting usage statistics
• We've ensured the barcodeData field is filled for IDBarcodeRecognizer, BlinkIdRecognizer and BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer
• We're now correctly initializing the blurred field in MBImageAnalysisResult (it was always uninitialized)
  ​

Minor API changes

​

• We've added the missing empty field in MBDate, MBBarcodeResult and MBVIZResult
• We've unified MBBlinkIdRecognizerResult and MBBlinkIdCombinedRecognizerResult

  • if the user wants to reset the recognizers, they have to be explicitly reset between recognizing successive images

• We’re now able to read partial MRZ formats (2.5 lines), like the ones found on Switzerland and Lichtenstein DLs.
• We’ve added **documentOptionalAdditionalNumber** to the main part of the result, as well as front and back side VIZ results.
• We’ve expanded the set of possible recognizer states with **RECOGNIZER_RESULT_STATE_STAGE_VALID**. This state enables better control of the Combined scanning pipeline. It activates when the first side of a document has been successfully scanned and scanning of the second side is required.

Fixes

• We’ve fixed an uncommon bug where you’d get incomplete results upon scanning of the MRZ with the allowUnparsed setting enabled.
• We've changed MRTD_TYPE_IDENITY_CARD to MRTD_TYPE_IDENTITY_CARD (fixed typo)

v5.8.1

• fixed a rare crash that could occur when using online license on a device with unstable network connection

  • those conditions are now documented
