COM
ExtendProcessingModes property added that sets or returns whether processing modes will be automatically extended to required, based on requested modes or it will be explicitly specified what should be done. For example, if you need to do Visual OCR, usually we need to crop document and recognize its type. However, in some cases it is possible to skip some steps and perform only certain steps for speeding up the processing (boolean, read\write).
ProcessingParams property added to set all kind of possible parameters for processing in JSON format. Now, only implemented parameters are for images depersonalization. You may set hiding fields (text or graphic) or areas from images in all lights for any or specific document (country, document format, specific document ID, etc.). This property accepts JSON string with specific parameters inside (see optical SDK documentation) or empty string to disable depersonalization. Disabled by default. In future, we plan to use this property for passing all configuration at once for convenience (variant/write only).
RFIDWaitForCryptKeyTimeout property added that sets or returns timeout waiting for MRZ/CAN to become available after chip was detected before finishing reading attempt if not.
TrustVideoDetectionResult property added that sets or returns whether video detection results of document position used for document cropping if DoLocateDocument enabled. If disabled, document location will be determined separately. This may affect performance/accuracy of cropping (boolean, read\write).
VideoDetectionDivider property added that sets or returns active camera video resolution used for video detection of document presence. Value is division factor from maximum original video mode resolution. By default set to minimum video mode size. See UseVideodetection for details (integer, read/write).
VideoDetectionLowSensibility property added that sets or returns whether low sensibility mode enabled. This mode used for readers installed in gates to track only changes in the reader view field that look like documents. Enabled by default (boolean, read/write).
OnVideoDetectionFrame event added that is raised each time SDK notification callback called with RPRM_Notification_VideoFrame notification code. This event is useful to obtain images from optical reader immediately on their availability from video detection in real time.
Fixed issue with raising exception when COM client process left his connection orphaned (process was terminated, or just left COM object handle undisposed on exit).
Fixed issue with “License expired” message appear even when running in InBackground mode.
