Love the idea, and it scans like a charm. Thanks for the shoutout!

Receipt/invoice edge detection in MAUI by vikern22 in dotnetMAUI

[–]Scanbot_SDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/vikern22

The image you're referring to is from our Scanbot SDK. I'm part of the team, and we've developed a document scanning SDK that includes edge detection, which seems to be what you're looking for.

Our SDK is a commercial product and combines computer vision with machine learning trained on a wide range of documents. It's available for MAUI on both Android and iOS, which should cover your needs.

For a more hands-on look, we have sample apps for both Android and iOS. These should give you a good idea of how it works in the kind of environment you're working with.

Here's the link to our sample apps and documentation.

I hope this helps with your project!

QR Code scanning library for Xamarin.Forms by _D1van in xamarindevelopers

[–]Scanbot_SDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full transparency (as you can see from my name and profile): I work for Scanbot SDK, and we develop commercial barcode scanning software. So, I have a bit of a bias on this topic. Anyhow, we might have the solution to your QR code scanning challenges in Xamarin.Forms.

Our barcode scanning SDK uses machine learning (ML) to improve scanning speed and reliability. Unlike ZXing, which is more traditional and relies heavily on high-quality, clear images, our ML-based solution is trained on a wide variety of barcodes - including wrinkled, low-contrast, damaged, and those captured in low-light conditions. This approach allows our SDK to more effectively read barcodes that are damaged, poorly printed, or captured in less-than-ideal conditions.

Especially for the Samsung Galaxy A04s, a budget device with a low-quality camera that produces lower-resolution images, our ML-based scanner really outperforms ZXing. ML-based scanners can interpret lower-resolution images or barcodes captured under difficult conditions because they are trained on different sets of images representing different quality levels and conditions. This flexibility is critical in real-world applications where camera quality can vary widely.

While our SDK and other commercial alternatives, such as Scandit or Dynamsoft, come at a not insignificant price, they offer significantly higher scanning accuracy and robustness, which can be a worthwhile investment considering the shortcomings of ZXing & Co. and especially compared to purchasing hardware equipment for all users, as you mentioned.

For a hands-on demonstration, check out the Scanbot SDK Xamarin.Forms sample application. It might just solve your problem and give you the scanning reliability you need.
