What's new in the BlinkID(Combined) Recognizer?

Support for atypical Vietnam passports

• Extract data from Vietnam Passports that have non-ICAO compliant MRZ fields. For example, when the filler arrow is facing the other way (>) instead of the standard way (<)

Data anonymization

• We've added the option to not extract the religion field on all supported Malaysian documents (MyKad, MyKas, MyKid, MyPR, MyTentera)

Bugfixes

• Resolved issues with RGB color overlay while extracting document image, which was present on some devices
• Fixed issue with Motorola Moto E40 camera - Camera 2 API wasn’t working

Minor API breaking change

• We have changed the DirectAPI recognize methods to make it easier to understand which one you should be using. If you want to process:
• Still Android Bitmaps (for example, obtained from the gallery), use recognizeBitmap or recognizeBitmapWithRecognizers.
• Video Images that are built from custom camera video frames (for example, when you use your own or third-party camera management), use recognizeVideoImage or recognizeVideoImageWithRecognizers. Recognition will be optimized for speed and will rely on time-redundancy between consecutive video frames in order to yield the best possible recognition result.
• Still Images which are not part of a video stream and you want to get the best possible results from the single Image use recognizeStillImage or recognizeStillImageWithRecognizers. Image type comes from our SDK or it can be created by using ImageBuilder.
