VisionImage

class VisionImage : NSObject

An image or image buffer used in vision detection, with optional metadata.

  • Metadata about the image (e.g. image orientation). If metadata is not specified, the default metadata values are used.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var metadata: FIRVisionImageMetadata? { get set }

  • Initializes a VisionImage object with the given image.

    Declaration

    Swift

    init(image: UIImage)

    Parameters

    image

    Image to use in vision detection. The given image should be rotated, so its imageOrientation property is set to UIImageOrientationUp value. The UIImage must have non-NULL CGImage property.

    Return Value

    A VisionImage instance with the given image.

  • Initializes a VisionImage object with the given image buffer. To improve performance, it is recommended to minimize the lifespan and number of instances of this class when initializing with a CMSampleBufferRef.

    Declaration

    Swift

    init(buffer sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer)

    Parameters

    sampleBuffer

    Image buffer to use in vision detection. The buffer must be based on a pixel buffer (not compressed data), and the pixel format must be one of: - kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA - kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange - kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarVideoRange In practice: this works with the video output of the phone’s camera, but not other arbitrary sources of CMSampleBufferRefs.

    Return Value

    A VisionImage instance with the given image buffer.
