react-native-vision-camera VS react-native-camera-kit

Camera and Image Captioning: For taking pictures we will use react-native-vision-camera and for generating captions from the images, react-native-quick-tflite.

> One of the big "aha" moments I had was a couple years ago when I was trying out Stripe's Identity product, which lets you take a selfie and a picture of your ID for identity verification purposes. It's pretty amazing how Stripe was able to do the full image analysis (i.e. edge detection when you take a picture of your ID) solely with browser APIs.

Do you have any details on that Stripe app? I've found the browser camera handling lacking on mobile if you want to overlay it with a "position the subject here" rectangle, or display instructions alongside, or detect QR codes as well as other subjects. I'd like this to be an out-of-date view. I've been considering React Native for the next version, using https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera as it seems much more feature complete.

You can use react-native-vision-camera and a frame processor that uses some kind of OCR to get the number plates.

This is a demonstration of what VisionCamera V3 is capable of - I built a small plugin to load any TensorFlow Model (.tflite) from resources and run it on every Camera Frame. This is going to be a game-changer, since the developer no longer needs to write native code for such complex tasks - it only takes a few lines of JavaScript to spin up a Camera, do real-time processing with a TensorFlow model, and draw anything to the Frame. Magic!

I finally got react-native-vision-camera and vision-camera-face-detector working yesterday by using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). On windows itself it just doesn't work for me (https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/issues/1474)

I'm the author of react-native-vision-camera, a library that exposes platform native Camera features to React Native.

Here’s an example from react-native-vision https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/main/example/src/views/StatusBarBlurBackground.tsx

Unsolicited Tesla React Native dev here based in Seattle. I work with u/scarlac on https://github.com/teslamotors/react-native-camera-kit. Tesla is solving some really cool problems in the mobile app space with RN at the moment. I've always felt like work / life balance was respected on my teams and it's super fun to work on such a compelling mission.

Hi everyone,it seems the most used one, react-native-qrcode-scanner, depends on a deprecated package, react-native-camera. Should i still install it and use this(is it even possible to install a deprecated npm package)?In the meanwhile i tried an other one, react-native-camera-kit, but the documentation seems lacking and incorrect. Am i already out of options here?should i just install react native camera even if deprecated?

Hi, I'm not sure how people are dealing with Camera not working on iOS simulator(I know there is a library) but recently I'm managing it by wrapping the camera component and fetching a placeholder image instead. Let me leave the code for anyone interested in it.

We just released V11 of React Native Camera Kit. It includes pretty robust barcode support. Feel free to give it a try and let me know if you have any issues. https://github.com/teslamotors/react-native-camera-kit

https://github.com/teslamotors/react-native-camera-kit#qr--barcode-scanning-support - It's supported, and has been for years. We actively chose not to integrate MLKit for now because of the extra setup required for people. We found it cumbersome ourselves. We don't think it's worth the overhead and prefer to rely on iOS's own accelerated features.
