Kirsch is an elegant and simple scanner library to automatically scan documents and crop them.
- Automatic and manual document capture
- Color and black and white filter
- Border cropping
To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install
from the Example directory first.
- iOS 9.0+
- Xcode 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 9.0
- Swift 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 4.0
Kirsch is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod "Kirsch"
To initialize the scanner simply call it's initilaizer with the desired options.
- videoFrameOption: Indicates the size of the view where the video is displayed (.normal, .square, .fullScreen and .withBottomMargin)
- applyFilterCallback: Should stay nil
- ratio: The approximate ratio (height/width) of the document you want to scan
import UIKit
import Kirsch
class ViewController: UIViewController, KirschDelegate {
lazy var scanner: Kirsch = {
let scanner = Kirsch(superview: self.view, videoFrameOption: .fullScreen, applyFilterCallback: nil, ratio: 1.5)
scanner.configure()
return scanner
}()
viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create the video filter
scanner.delegate = self
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
do {
try scanner.start()
} catch {
presentAlertView(title: "Some Error Occurred", message: error.localizedDescription)
}
}
}
scanner.isBlackFilterActivated // Activate the black filter
scanner.isFlashActive // Activate the flashlight of the phone
scanner.configure() // Configure the scanner
scanner.start() // Start the scanner
scanner.stop() // Stop the scanner
Note: that the configure() should be called before the start() function.
- Filter: Indicates the type of filter it's going to be applied (.contrast, .none)
- Orientation: Helps the detector in which orientation the documents is going to be (.vertical, horizontal)
scanner.captureImage(withFilter: .contrast, andOrientation: .vertical) // Captures vertical image and applying a high contrast filter
scanner.captureImage(withOrientation: .vertical) // Captures a vertical image without applying any filters
scanner.captureImageWithNoCrop(withOrientation: .vertical) // Captures a vertical image without cropping any borders
The capturing progress indicates if an image is being well detected and the phone is able to capture it. When this progress arrives at 100%, the scanner has detected an stable image
func getCapturingProgress(_ progress: Float?) {
guard let progress = progress else { return }
if progress >= 1 {
scanner.captureImage(withFilter: .contrast, andOrientation: .vertical)
}
}
When the an image is captured, it will be returned by this delegate function
func getCapturedImageFiltered(_ image: UIImage?) {
guard let capturedImage = image else { return }
self.coverfyScanner.stop()
}
This project has been developed to use it into the Coverfy App. An app to organize all your insurances, take a look at it https://www.coverfy.com!
Some ideas of this scanner has been taken from the IRLScanner (https://github.com/hartws1/IRLScanner)
