6.28.0-beta-1​

Released: September 10, 2024

New Features​

Barcode​

  • BarcodeFind is an API that implements MatrixScan Find. MatrixScan Find is a pre-built UI that uses augmented reality overlays to highlight items that match predefined criteria. It allows you to add a search and find experience with augmented reality to an existing native app, with just a few lines of code.
  • On Barcode Capture and SparkScan, we optimized the frame processing time in 4k-UHD resolution with dynamic resolution selection, resulting in up to 35% reduction on high-end devices and consistent performance improvements across all supported devices. platforms.

ID​

  • ID Capture now supports scanning the Visual Inspection Zone (VIZ) on the back of the European Health Insurance Card.
  • ID Capture supports scanning the Visual Inspection Zone (VIZ) of New York City IDs.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed result data encoding classification for raw byte data in 2d barcodes, in particular for Shift-JIS encoding.
  • Resolved cases in which Smart Scan Intention was possibly reporting the wrong barcode when when the camera was quickly changing direction with a single barcode in the scene.
  • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to scan non-fluorescent French-Post barcodes without the extension fluorescent_orange_ink.

6.24.0​

Released: May 8, 2024

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Intention: Introduced a new algorithm named "smart" that intelligently identifies and scans the intended barcode, reducing errors. It can be manually set in Barcode Capture (BarcodeCaptureSettings.scanIntention).

Users can configure the view displayed for a barcode and its relative position by implementing BarcodeTrackingAdvancedOverlayListener or by calling BarcodeTrackingAdvancedOverlay.setViewForTrackedBarcode(), BarcodeTrackingAdvancedOverlay.setAnchorForTrackedBarcode(), or BarcodeTrackingAdvancedOverlay.setOffsetForTrackedBarcode(). For more information, refer to the "Add AR Overlays in MatrixScan" documentation.
