Versions History Pixelnetica™ Document Scanning SDK for Android

Version 3.0.1

  • New: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) option with support for over 100 languages.
    • Runs entirely on-device, ensuring privacy and offline access by avoiding cloud processing.
    • Handles multi-language documents in one process, with support for right-to-left (RTL) languages.
    • Includes manual correction tools to improve accuracy.
    • Export results as layered PDFs or plain text (TXT) files.
  • New: Smart orientation detection that automatically adjusts the orientation of scanned documents based on their content.

  • New: PDF composing engine.
    • Implements cutting-edge image compression techniques, delivering highly efficient file size reduction.
    • Reduces file size by up to 90% for color and gray-scale images and 50% for black-and-white images, which helps save storage space, improve archiving, and enable faster sharing in low-bandwidth areas.
    • Offers flexible compression levels, from “Lossless” preservation to “Extreme” optimization for color and gray-scale images.
    • Supports the generation of layered PDF documents (aka. sandwiched PDF document), embedding searchable text above image layers to facilitate indexing, searching, and copying of text content.
  • New: Key UI components are now modular and ready to integrate, including:
    • Smart Camera module.
    • OCR Language Management Interface.
    • OCR results editor.
    • Document border correction editor.
  • Update: EasyScan demo app:
    • Features multipage scanning, editing, storing, and sharing capabilities.
    • Includes a smart camera with multipage scanning and user guidance features.
    • Built with Kotlin for a modern and efficient design.
  • Update: The API has been redesigned for better memory consumption, simplicity, and ease of integration, making it more accessible for developers working with diverse systems.

Version 2.3.2

Version 2.1

  • Effective Document area (the area document occupies in the viewfinder) and trapezoid distortion control: • automatic with ImageProcessing.detectDocumentCorners() additional parameters • using DocumentCutout class
  • Custom corners validation moved to DocumentCutout specialized class
  • No more need to call ImageWriter.destroy()

Version 2.0

  • New: document border detection algorithm with improved accuracy and speed.
  • Custom corners validation using ImageProcessing.validateDocumentCorners() method
  • New ability to write resulted document in various formats (Jpeg, Png, Tiff G4, PDF) with com.pixelnetica.imagesdk.ImageWriter subsystem.
  • No need to configure ProGuard anymore. From now on it configured internally.
  • Demo application update with new features implemented.
  • Some API changes.
  • Documentation update.

  • Added PDF support.
  • Documentation update.
  • Minor demo application update.

Version 1.3.3

  • Added multipage TIFF support.
  • New advanced camera in demo application now supports Smart Shot and handshaking detection.
  • Demo application minor updates

Note: Demo application writes same page three times to Tiff file to demonstrate multipage possibilities.

Version 1.3.2

  • Minor documentation update.
  • Demo application minor updates
  • Demo application also provided as ready-to-install APK file (cropDemo.apk).

Version 1.3.1

This is minor update — fixed some discrepancies in documentation.
