The Smart Camera component enables document scanning using the device camera with built-in guidance for better capture quality.

This component can be integrated into the application interface as a View.

• Class: ImageSdkWrapper.Forms.PxlScannerView

Events:

• PictureReceiver – returns a scanned image or error.
• CloseClicked – triggered if the user cancels scanning.

Usage examples are provided in the demo app, under CameraMainPage.xaml.cs.

p.PictureReceiver = MyPictureReceiver;

void MyPictureReceiver(MetaImage img, string errorTextOrNull)
{
    if (img == null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(errorTextOrNull);
    }
    else
    {
        // Handle scanned image
    }
}

Smart Camera Detectors

The Smart Camera includes three detectors that interactively analyze the viewfinder to prevent common mistakes:

• ShakeDetection – avoids blurred images caused by device shaking.
• DocumentArea – ensures the document occupies a sufficient portion of the frame.
• TrapezoidDistortion – detects and warns about perspective distortion.

These detectors can be disabled (e.g., to improve scanning speed):

ImageSdkWrapper.Forms.Camera.Settings.DocumentArea = false;
