Changes to the BlinkId(Combined)Recognizer:
- We’ve renamed the Swaziland country to Eswatini in results and
ClassInfo
structure - 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 inFullRecognition
mode
- This applies only if
- We've 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
Platform-related SDK changes
- We've fixed a bug where some users were not able to scan passports, even though all document types were allowed by the license key.
- We've improved the performance of the SDK by adding support for WebAssembly SIMD.
- This increases the scanning performance on compatible browsers up to 77% and up to 94% in cases when WebAssembly threads are also supported.
- Keep in mind that this feature requires a compatible browser (Chrome 91 and Firefox 90 or newer versions). Only
advanced
andadvanced-threads
binaries are using SIMD. In case that the browser doesn't support this feature,basic
binary will be used.
- We've reduced the memory fragmentation during video processing, resulting in a smaller memory footprint.
- We've added a mechanism to automatically delete an instance of worker script in case of unsuccessful SDK initialization.
- New method
WasmSDK.delete()
was added for this purpose and is available on every instance of the SDK.
- New method
- We've changed improper error handling in the
VideoRecognizer
class.- From now on, it's possible to catch all errors that happen during the video recognition.
