Changes to BlinkID(Combined) Recognizer

• Added the setting saveCameraFrames for saving camera frames with the default value being false. Note that the memory consumption is a bit bigger if this setting is set to true.
  • New result members are available for:
    • BlinkIDRecognizer:cameraFrame and barcodeCameraFrame.
    • BlinkIDCombinedRecognizer:frontCameraFrame, backCameraFrame, and barcodeCameraFrame.
• We've added new result members when scanning Australian Driving Licences: vehicleClass, licenceType, effectiveDate and expiryDate.
  • Result members are displayed under the VehicleClassInfo field; we can also extract data from multiple rows when this vehicle class info data is present on the document (e.g. multiple expiry dates for different vehicle classes).
• We've added new enum values:
  • Region: QUINTANA_ROO, QUINTANA_ROO_SOLIDARIDAD, TLAXCALA which are available when scanning Mexican Driving Licences.
  • Type: MY_NUMBER_CARD which is available when scanning Japanese My Number Card documents.
• We've added new result member additionalOptionalAddressInformation which gives additional address information about the document owner.
  • This result member can be present when scanning the Pakistani ID Card for the field Country of Stay.
• We've removed 2 recognizers: GermanyDLBack Recognizer and SingaporeChangiEmployeeId Recognizer.

Changes to IDBarcodeRecognizer

• For barcodes in countries: Argentina, Colombia, Nigeria, Panama, and South Africa, we now also extract data from the field Sex when it's populated with the character "X".

Improvements

• We've added support for Brazil ID Card when the cardholder's face image is rotated for 90 degrees on the document.
  • We will return face image and document image + data from VIZ part present on the back side.
• SuccessFrameGrabber setting is now called saveCameraFrames and it can return the full frame from the front side now when using BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer, whereas before it returned the full frame only for the back side.
