Changes to BlinkID(Combined) Recognizer

• We've added the parameter maxAllowedMismatchesPerField to settings. When this is set to a non-zero value, DataMatch will be successful as long as the number of mismatched characters doesn't exceed the specified value.
• We've added the parameter allowUncertainFrontSideScan to settings. When this parameter is set to true, the Recognizer will proceed scanning the back side of the document even if the front side scanning result State is Uncertain.
• We've enabled the return of image and back side data results, even when the State is Uncertain. Keep in mind that returned images, in this case, might be blurry or low quality.
  • This applies to all image types: full document image, face and signature image.
• We've added two separate fields for the processing status in the Recognizer Result: frontProcessingStatus and backProcessingStatus. They indicate the status of the last recognition process for each side.
