AutoFocusSystem​

Ƭ AutoFocusSystem: "contrast-detection" | "phase-detection" | "none"

Indicates a format's autofocus system.

  • "none": Indicates that autofocus is not available
  • "contrast-detection": Indicates that autofocus is achieved by contrast detection. Contrast detection performs a focus scan to find the optimal position
  • "phase-detection": Indicates that autofocus is achieved by phase detection. Phase detection has the ability to achieve focus in many cases without a focus scan. Phase detection autofocus is typically less visually intrusive than contrast detection autofocus

PhysicalCameraDeviceType | LogicalCameraDeviceType

Defined in​

CameraDevice.ts:26


runAsync​

â–¸ runAsync(frame, func): void

Runs the given function asynchronously, while keeping a strong reference to the Frame.

For example, if you want to run a heavy face detection algorithm while still drawing to the screen at 60 FPS, you can use runAsync(...) to offload the face detection algorithm to a separate thread.

Example

const frameProcessor = useFrameProcessor((frame) => {
'worklet'
console.log('New Frame')
runAsync(frame, () => {
'worklet'
const faces = detectFaces(frame)
const face = [faces0]
console.log(`Detected a new face: ${face}`)
})
})

Parameters​

NameTypeDescription
frameFrameThe current Frame of the Frame Processor.
func() => voidThe function to execute.

Returns​

void

Defined in​

FrameProcessorPlugins.ts:179


runAtTargetFps​

â–¸ runAtTargetFps<T>(fps, func): T | undefined

Runs the given function at the given target FPS rate.

For example, if you want to run a heavy face detection algorithm only once per second, you can use runAtTargetFps(1, ...) to throttle it to 1 FPS.

Example

const frameProcessor = useFrameProcessor((frame) => {
'worklet'
console.log('New Frame')
runAtTargetFps(5, () => {
'worklet'
const faces = detectFaces(frame)
console.log(`Detected a new face: ${faces[0]}`)
})
})

Type parameters​

Name
T

Parameters​

NameTypeDescription
fpsnumberThe target FPS rate at which the given function should be executed
func() => TThe function to execute.

Returns​

T | undefined

The result of the function if it was executed, or undefined otherwise.

Defined in​

FrameProcessorPlugins.ts:138


sortDevices​

â–¸ sortDevices(left, right): number

Compares two devices by the following criteria:

  • wide-angle-cameras are ranked higher than others
  • Devices with more physical cameras are ranked higher than ones with less. (e.g. "Triple Camera" > "Wide-Angle Camera")

Note that this makes the sort() function descending, so the first element ([0]) is the "best" device.

Example

const devices = camera.devices.sort(sortDevices)
const bestDevice = devices[0]

Method

Parameters​

NameType
leftCameraDevice
rightCameraDevice

Returns​

number

Defined in​

utils/FormatFilter.ts:18


sortFormats​

â–¸ sortFormats(left, right): number

Sort formats by resolution and aspect ratio difference (to the Screen size).

Note that this makes the sort() function descending, so the first element ([0]) is the "best" device.

Parameters​

NameType
leftCameraDeviceFormat
rightCameraDeviceFormat

Returns​

number

Defined in​

utils/FormatFilter.ts:72

const qrCodes = scanQRCodes(frame)
console.log(`QR Codes: ${qrCodes}`)
}, [])

useSkiaFrameProcessor​

â–¸ useSkiaFrameProcessor(frameProcessor, dependencies): FrameProcessor
