  • Result anonymization - with this option enabled, results are not returned for protected fields on documents listed here. The full document image will also have this data blacked out.
    • Protected fields are:
      • Document number on Hong Kong ID
      • MRZ on Hong Kong passports
      • Personal ID number on Netherlands DL
      • Personal ID number and MRZ on Netherlands ID
      • MRZ on Netherlands passports
      • Document number on Singapore DL, ID, Fin Card, Resident ID
      • Personal ID number on Singapore Employment Pass
      • Document number and personal ID number on Singapore Work Permit
      • MRZ on Singapore passports.
    • By using setAnonymizationMode method, you can choose the AnonymizationMode : ImageOnly, ResultFieldsOnly, FullResult or None.
    • FullResult anonymization (both images and data) is set by default.

• We added support for new MRZ formats:

  • Guatemala ID
  • Kenya ID

Improvements to existing features:

• We updated UsdlRecognizer.Result and IdBarcodeRecognizer.Result with additional address fields:
  • street, postalCode, city and jurisdiction
• We added isExpired() method to BlinkIdRecognizer.Result, BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer.Result and IdBarcodeRecognizer.Result.
  • It compares the current time on the device with the date of expiry and checks whether the document has expired or not.
• We made changes to the result structure of BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer and BlinkIdRecognizer:
  • Barcode data is now encapsulated in its own result structure: BarcodeResult.
  • Data from all OCR-ed fields, without MRZ data, is now encapsulated in a VizResult structure, representing the "Visual Inspection Zone" data. In BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer, front side data is available in its own structure (frontVizResult), back side data in its own (backVizResult), so you can now access data from each side separately.
  • The main part of the result, outside these structures, is filled according to these rules:
    • Document number is filled with data from the MRZ, if present.
    • Remaining data is then filled with barcode data.
    • Remaining data is filled from the back side's visual inspection zone (OCR data outside of MRZ).
    • Remaining data is filled from the front side's visual inspection zone.
    • Remaining data is filled with data from the MRZ.

Minor API changes:

• We moved BlinkIdRecognizer.Result members colorStatus and moireStatus to the result's imageAnalysisResult (frontImageAnalysisResult and backImageAnalysisResult in BlinkIDCombinedRecognizer.Result).
• We changed default IntentDataTransferMode to IntentDataTransferMode.PERSISTED_OPTIMISED. It can be configured by using MicroblinkSDK.setIntentDataTransferMode.

Bug fixes:

• We fixed US driver's license address extraction (Oregon, Mississippi, Rhode Island).
• We fixed a bug which caused that, in some cases, camera has not been resumed after the device screen was turned OFF and back ON.
