Hello everyone,

Do you guys have or know any plugin that I could use to take pictures of a document that check quality of the picture and margins of the document? Something like CamScanner that I could add to my application?

Help will be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Rodrigo.

Hi Rodrigo,

I did a research sometime ago about the use of OpenCV in XDK apps. 

I found a javascript port that may work, and also an example in Python that make something like what your are looking for. Here are both links:

https://github.com/ucisysarch/opencvjs

The Python code is mostly calls to OpenCV functions, so it should be easy to translate to javascript.

Regards,

Diego

Rodrigo, I'm not aware of any plugins that can do that for you.  If you haven't found anything, your only option might be to create your own plugin and implement the functionality in native code for each platform you want to support.
