Decode from Video Sample - Use CameraX as Image Source

DecodeWithCameraX is another sample of recognizing barcodes from the video streaming. In this sample, instead of DynamsoftCameraEnhancer, CameraX is used to implement the ImageSourceAdapter (ISA) so that the CaptureVisionRouter is able to fetch the video frames.

Generate ImageData from ImageAnalysisAnalyzer

ImageData is the standard image data type that can be recognized by Dynamsoft SDKs. ISA is the interface that maintains a video buffer of the ImageData and deliver the ImageData objects to Dynamsoft image processing SDKs.

  • Create a Class for implementing the video streaming functions with CameraX.
  • Let your class extend ImageSourceAdapter so that you can use ISA APIs.
  • Receive video frames from ImageAnalysisAnalyzer and generate the image data to ImageData object.
  • Send the ImageData to the ISA with its addImageToBuffer method. After that the ImageData will be maintained in the video buffer of the ISA.

The following code snippet shows how to generate ImageData from the ImageAnalysisAnalyzer

Code Snippet

  • Java
  • Kotlin
  1. lifecycleCameraController.setImageAnalysisAnalyzer(Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(), image -> {
    try {
        if (mBytes == null || mBytes.length != image.getPlanes()[0].getBuffer().remaining()) {
            mBytes = new byte[image.getPlanes()[0].getBuffer().remaining()];
        }
        image.getPlanes()[0].getBuffer().get(mBytes);
        int nRowStride = image.getPlanes()[0].getRowStride();
        int nPixelStride = image.getPlanes()[0].getPixelStride();
        ImageData imageData = new ImageData();
        imageData.bytes = mBytes;
        imageData.width = image.getWidth();
        imageData.height = image.getHeight();
        imageData.stride = nRowStride;
        imageData.format = EnumImagePixelFormat.IPF_NV21;
        imageData.orientation = image.getImageInfo().getRotationDegrees();
        addImageToBuffer(imageData);
    } finally {
        image.close();
    }
    });
    
  2. lifecycleCameraController.setImageAnalysisAnalyzer(
    Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()
    ) { image: ImageProxy ->
    try {
        if (mBytes == null || mBytes!!.size != image.planes[0].buffer
                .remaining()
        ) {
            mBytes = ByteArray(image.planes[0].buffer.remaining())
        }
        image.planes[0].buffer[mBytes!!]
        val nRowStride = image.planes[0].rowStride
        val nPixelStride = image.planes[0].pixelStride
        val imageData = ImageData()
        imageData.bytes = mBytes
        imageData.width = image.width
        imageData.height = image.height
        imageData.stride = nRowStride
        imageData.format = EnumImagePixelFormat.IPF_NV21
        imageData.orientation = image.imageInfo.rotationDegrees
        addImageToBuffer(imageData)
    } finally {
        image.close()
    }
    }
    

Setup CaptureVisionRouter with the ISA You Implemented Above

The following code snippet show how to bind the ISA you implemented above to the CaptureVisionRouter and start barcode decoding.

  • Java
  • Kotlin
  1. public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private CaptureVisionRouter mRouter;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        ...
        // Initialize the class you created above.
        CameraXImageSourceAdapter cameraXImageSourceAdapter = new CameraXImageSourceAdapter(this, this, findViewById(R.id.previewView));
        mRouter = new CaptureVisionRouter(this);
        try {
            // Bind the `capture` as an ISA instance to your CaptureVisionRouter.
            mRouter.setInput(cameraXImageSourceAdapter);
        } catch (CaptureVisionRouterException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
        // Add CapturedResultReceiver to receive barcode decoding results.
        mRouter.addResultReceiver(new CapturedResultReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onDecodedBarcodesReceived(DecodedBarcodesResult result) {
                // Add code to do when barcode decoding results are received.
            }
        });
    }
    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        // Start capturing.
        mRouter.startCapturing(EnumPresetTemplate.PT_READ_BARCODES, null);
    }
    }
    
  2. class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private var mRouter: CaptureVisionRouter? = null
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        ...
        // Initialize the class you created above.
        val cameraXImageSourceAdapter =
            CameraXImageSourceAdapter(this, this, findViewById(R.id.previewView))
        mRouter = CaptureVisionRouter(this)
        try {
            // Bind the `capture` as an ISA instance to your CaptureVisionRouter.
            mRouter!!.input = cameraXImageSourceAdapter
        } catch (e: CaptureVisionRouterException) {
            throw RuntimeException(e)
        }
        // Add CapturedResultReceiver to receive barcode decoding results.
        mRouter!!.addResultReceiver(object : CapturedResultReceiver {
            override fun onDecodedBarcodesReceived(result: DecodedBarcodesResult) {
                // Add code to do when barcode decoding results are received.
            }
        })
    }
    override fun onResume() {
        super.onResume()
        // Start capturing.
        mRouter!!.startCapturing(EnumPresetTemplate.PT_READ_BARCODES, null)
    }
    }
