I am in the process of trying to develop a document scanner within an application of mine. As an example of what I want to achieve you can take a look at the Google document t scanner built into the Google drive app.
This allows
- Detect edges
- Manipulate into perspective
- Display top down view of document
I have been looking at a number of 3rd party api to see if this can be achieved but they seem more focused on OCR. Which is not a priority of mine.
I have however stumbled across this document scanner
Where it makes a document scanner using java open cv. Within the comments someone asked about the possibility of porting this to an android application. Apparently this is possible.
I have researched importing the open cv library within my IDE (android studio). This is also possible.
As I have not done this before I would be grateful if someone could help me identify any potential issues or alternative implementations which would help me achieve my goal.
I am eager to develop this myself with relying on 3rd parties where possible
