Usage

All the functionalities that the @yoonit/nativescript-camera provides is accessed through the YoonitCamera component, that includes the camera preview. Below we have the basic usage code, for more details, your can see the Methods, Events or the Demo Vue.

VueJS Plugin

main.js

import Vue from 'nativescript-vue'  
import YoonitCamera from '@yoonit/nativescript-camera/vue'

Vue.use(YoonitCamera)

After that, you can access the camera object in your entire project using this.$yoo.camera

Events

Event Parameters Description
imageCaptured { type: string, count: number, total: number, image: object = { path: string, source: any, binary: any }, inferences: [{ ['model name']: model output }], darkness: number, lightness: number, sharpness: number } Must have started capture type of face/frame. Emitted when the face image file saved:
  • type: "face" or "frame"
  • count: current index
  • total: total to create
  • image.path: the face/frame image path
  • image.source: the blob file
  • image.binary: the blob file
  • inferences: An Array with models output
  • darkness: image darkness classification.
  • lightness: image lightness classification.
  • sharpness: image sharpness classification.
    faceDetected { x: number, y: number, width: number, height: number, leftEyeOpenProbability: number, rightEyeOpenProbability: number, smilingProbability: number, headEulerAngleX: number, headEulerAngleY: number, headEulerAngleZ: number } Must have started capture type of face. Emit the face analysis, all parameters are null if no more face detecting.
    endCapture - Must have started capture type of face/frame. Emitted when the number of image files created is equal of the number of images set (see the method setImageCaptureAmount).
    qrCodeContent { content: string } Must have started capture type of qrcode (see startCapture). Emitted when the camera read a QR Code.
    status { type: 'error'/'message', status: string } Emit message error from native. Used more often for debug purpose.
    permissionDenied - Emit when try to preview but there is no camera permission.

    Face Analysis

    The face analysis is the response send by the onFaceDetected. Here we specify all the parameters.

    Attribute Type Description
    x number The x position of the face in the screen.
    y number The y position of the face in the screen.
    width number The width position of the face in the screen.
    height number The height position of the face in the screen.
    leftEyeOpenProbability number The left eye open probability.
    rightEyeOpenProbability number The right eye open probability.
    smilingProbability number The smiling probability.
    headEulerAngleX number The angle in degrees that indicate the vertical head direction. See Head Movements
    headEulerAngleY number The angle in degrees that indicate the horizontal head direction. See Head Movements
    headEulerAngleZ number The angle in degrees that indicate the tilt head direction. See Head Movements

    Head Movements

    Here we're explaining the above gif and how reached the "results". Each "movement" (vertical, horizontal and tilt) is a state, based in the angle in degrees that indicate head direction;

    Head Direction Attribute v < -36° -36° < v < -12° -12° < v < 12° 12° < v < 36° 36° < v
    Vertical headEulerAngleX Super Down Down Frontal Up Super Up
    Horizontal headEulerAngleY Super Left Left Frontal Right Super Right
    Tilt headEulerAngleZ Super Right Right Frontal Left Super Left

    Image Quality

    The image quality is the classification of the three attributes: darkness, lightness and sharpness. Result available in the imageCapture event. Let's see each parameter specifications:

    Threshold Classification
    Darkness
    darkness > 0.7 Too dark
    darkness <= 0.7 Acceptable
    Lightness
    lightness > 0.65 Too light
    lightness <= 0.65 Acceptable
    Sharpness
    sharpness >= 0.1591 Blurred
    sharpness < 0.1591 Acceptable

    Messages

    Pre-define message constants used by the status event.

    Message Description
    INVALID_MINIMUM_SIZE Face/QRCode width percentage in relation of the screen width is less than the set.
    INVALID_MAXIMUM_SIZE Face/QRCode width percentage in relation of the screen width is more than the set.
    INVALID_OUT_OF_ROI Face bounding box is out of the set region of interest.
