1. Overview
Reader SDK v2.1.1 introduces the PMF Story data model, abort functionality, and enhanced per-frame callbacks that provide richer insight into the analysis process.
These foundational changes enable detailed frame-level diagnostics and laid the groundwork for future visualization and data capture improvements in later versions.
2. New Features
2.1. PMF Story Output
A new structured data model, PMF Story, is now included in the SDK output.
It provides a complete timeline of captured frames during the analysis process, recording details such as:
-
Timestamp
-
PMF status (analysis state)
-
Lux (lighting level)
-
Device orientation
-
Homography transform
-
Per-strip baselines, profiles, and statuses
-
Frame and strip images
This enables developers to visualize analysis progress, collect diagnostic logs, and post-process frame data.
2.2. Abort Functionality
Developers can now abort analysis sessions early and retrieve all PMF Story frames captured up to that point.
This allows partial data review even if the full analysis doesn’t complete.
-
The returned
ResultModelincludes a completepmfStorywith all frames collected before the abort. -
Aborted sessions cannot be resumed — a new analysis must be started afterward.
Both Android and iOS expose new abort-related API elements (see platform pages for examples).
2.3. Per-Frame Callback Expansion
The previous onProgress callback has been replaced by onFrameCaptured, which provides richer context for each captured frame.
This callback now includes analysis progress, lux, orientation, and status information per frame.
3. API Changes
3.1. Model Updates
The addition of PMF Story required updates to the ResultModel and TestStrip data structures to eliminate duplicate image storage and improve consistency.
|
Model |
Old |
New |
|---|---|---|
|
TestStrip |
Included |
Removed; images now stored in PMF Story frames |
|
ResultModel |
Included |
Removed; replaced by per-frame images in PMF Story |
These changes affect integrations that previously accessed image data directly from the result models.
Developers should now access frame and strip images from ResultModel.pmfStory.
4. Internal Enhancement
Collection Mode
An internal capture-only mode for development and QA.
This mode performs no analysis and is not available in the public SDK.
