@microblink/blinkid-in-browser-sdk - npm Package Versions

6.7.2

Bugfix

• Fixes an issue introduced in 6.7.1 where the UI component overlay would not hide after finishing a scanning session.

6.7.1

New Features

Improved blur and glare detection

• enableBlurFilter and enableGlareFilter properties have been added on BlinkID recognizer settings. These are enabled by default, but users can turn them off if they want to allow blur and glare on captured frames.

• blurStrictnessLevel and glareStrictnessLevel properties have been added on BlinkID recognizer settings. These can be configured using the StrictnessLevel enum, which can be Strict, Normal (default) or Relaxed.

• New properties ImageAnalysisResult:

  • blurDetected and glareDetected

Bug fixes

• A bug that caused memory leaks when reconfiguring the recognizer runner has been fixed
• The barcode scanning step feedback is now properly displayed in the UI component
• Improved camera selection algorithm

Breaking changes ⚠️

• allowBlurFilter has been renamed to enableBlurFilter
• The blurred property on ImageAnalysisResult has been renamed to blurDetected

6.7.0

New Features

• Real ID symbol detection on US driver's license
  • BlinkID can now identify Real ID symbols from US driver’s licenses, providing feedback on their presence or absence. This ensures customers can quickly determine if a Real ID symbol is available on a scanned US driver’s license to be compliant with Real ID regulations.
• UX Improvements
  • Extended duration for UI messages
  • UI messages now remain visible for a longer time after scanning, improving user experience. Users can now review post-scanning messages at a comfortable pace, leading to a smoother process.
  • Success indicator for front side capture
    • BlinkID now displays a clear success indicator after scanning the front side of a document. This visual cue enhances user confidence by providing immediate feedback during the scanning process.
• Partial anonymization of the "Document Number"
  • To ensure user privacy and security, BlinkID now offers the option of partially anonymizing the document number from the scanned document.
• Mandatory Barcode Presence on US documents
  • To minimize the cases of capturing the front side of the document as the back frame in the results, BlinkID now requires the presence of a barcode before saving the back frame on US documents. Processing status BarcodeDetectionFailed is returned when the mandatory barcode is not present on the back of US documents.

Minor API changes

• Added BarcodeDetectionFailed as a new ProcessingStatus
  • This status is triggered once the barcode was not found on the image. This processing status can only occur if the document has the mandatory barcode.
• Added new boolean member realIdDetectionStatus to the ImageAnalysisResult. If true, Real ID symbol is present, false otherwise.
• Added new member documentNumberAnonymizationSettings to the ClassAnonymizationSettings for seamless integration with the document number anonymization feature.

Bug Fixes

• Updated internal mapping for Myanmar Passports to display nationality as "Myanmarese" instead of "Burmese" on Myanmar passports.
• On Peru ID "Date of Issue" is marked optional, offering customers more flexibility in capturing ID information.
• Improved "Date of Expiry" handling logic for MRZ in cases where documents with a date of expiry year 1969 were not correctly sanitized.

6.5.2

Fixed issue with improper packaging.

v6.5.1

Lightweight builds

This release contains multiple builds tailored for different devices' capabilities.

These builds are:

Full

Regular build that has barcode deblurring models. This build is loaded automatically on desktop devices.

Lightweight

Build without deblurring models. This build is loaded automatically on mobile devices. Deblurring models are usually not necessary due to better quality cameras compared to front-facing laptop cameras.

These builds each contain previous build variants present so far: basic, advanced with SIMD and advanced with multithreading making a total of 6 possible builds.

These builds can be overridden by using a new property on the settings objects WasmSDKLoadSettings.blinkIdVariant:

export type BlinkIDVariant = "full" | "lightweight";

These can also be set on the UI component via the blinkIdVariant prop.

Dynamic webassembly memory management

Depending on the device used, the SDK will allocate different amounts of memory on startup. This is primarily used as a mitigation mechanism for iOS's memory management, which often blocks webassembly memory growth.

Although it's not recommended, this can be overridden using WasmSDKLoadSettings.initialMemory.

Other fixes:

• Fixed an issue where certain iOS devices would display a zoomed in preview.
• Improved scanning of Bolivia IDs by addressing cases where the expiration date is covered by a signature, allowing the completion of the scanning process.
