API Reference - JavaScript

The primary class of the library is DocumentNormalizer. The following code snippets shows the basic usage.

  • Detect and normalize a still image
let normalizer = await Dynamsoft.DDN.DocumentNormalizer.createInstance();
let quads = await normalizer.detectQuad(imagePath);
let normalizedImageResult = await normalizer.normalize(imagePath, { quad: quads[0].location });
if(normalizedImageResult) {
    // Show the normalized image in a Canvas
    const cvs = normalizedImageResult.image.toCanvas();
    document.querySelector("#normalized-result").appendChild(cvs);
}
// Download the normalized image
let img = await normalizedImageResult.saveToFile("example.png", true);
  • Detect and normalize continuous video frames
(async function() {
    cameraEnhancer = await Dynamsoft.DCE.CameraEnhancer.createInstance();
    normalizer = await Dynamsoft.DDN.DocumentNormalizer.createInstance();
    await normalizer.setImageSource(cameraEnhancer, { resultsHighlightBaseShapes: Dynamsoft.DCE.DrawingItem });

    await document.getElementById('div-ui-container').append(cameraEnhancer.getUIElement());
    
    // Triggered when a quadrilateral is detected from a video frame.
    normalizer.onQuadDetected = (quadResults, sourceImage) => {
        console.log(quadResults);
    };

    // Click the button to pause the video and edit a quadrilateral.
    document.getElementById('confirmQuadForNormalization').addEventListener("click", () => {
        normalizer.confirmQuadForNormalization();
    });

    // Click the button to normalize with the selected/adjusted quadrilateral.
    document.getElementById('normalizeWithConfirmedQuad').addEventListener("click", async () => {
        const normalizedImageResult = await normalizer.normalizeWithConfirmedQuad();
        if(normalizedImageResult) {
        // Show the normalized image in a Canvas
        const cvs = normalizedImageResult.image.toCanvas();
        document.querySelector("#normalized-result").appendChild(cvs);
        console.log(normalizedImageResult);
        }
    });
    // Start scanning document boundaries.
    await normalizer.startScanning(true);
})();
