flutter_mrz_scanner_enhanced 3.0.9

Scans MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) from identity documents for iOS and Android.

3.0.9

-Enhanced iOS implementation to align with the Android improvements. -Further testing is needed—unfortunately, I can't test it on iOS. If anyone with an iOS device could help and get in touch, I'd really appreciate it. You can find my contact details on my GitHub page.

3.0.8

MRZ Cropping Enhancement

Unified Function: Introduced a single function, calculateCutoutRect(Bitmap bitmap, Boolean cropToMRZ), which now supports two cropping modes:

• Document Crop: When cropToMRZ is false, the image is cropped to the full document area with a 10% margin expansion (adjustable if needed; change val marginPercentage = 0.1, where 0.1 is 10%).
• MRZ Crop: When cropToMRZ is true, the image is cropped to only the MRZ area (35% of the document frame's height), accurately matching the measurements from the Flutter overlay.

Improved Accuracy

Consistent Document Ratio: The cropping calculations now use the same document frame ratio (86/55) and center the document area within the bitmap, ensuring consistent results across both native Android and Flutter overlays.

• val cropped = calculateCutoutRect(rotated, true) // use false if you don't want to crop to MRZ area

Bug Fixes

Correct Cropping Values: Fixed issues where incorrect cropping values might have been applied, ensuring the correct area is captured for MRZ scanning.

Enjoy the enhanced MRZ scanning functionality!
