WARNING - CONSIDER THIS CODEBASE DEPRECATED. TAKE A LOOK AT: IPDFCameraViewController

MAImagePickerController aka. InstaOverlay

MAImagePickerController is a critical component of the InstaPDF (http://instapdf.me) for iPhone app. I’ve started to code in Objective C a couple of months ago, so please
offer your insights into making the component better.

Be sure to checkout the ToDo!

ToDo

1. Improve Paper (Edge) Detection
2. Fix rotation of UIImages chosen from the Library
3. Store the rotations in the final view
4. Improve API

Using it in your project

1. Add all the necessary files inside MAImagePicker to your Project
2. #import “MAImagePickerController.h” in your ViewController’s header (.h) file & declare that it can be delegated by MAImagePickerControllerDelegate
3. IMPORTANT: This project uses the OpenCV framework. Download the newest version here: ‘http://opencv.org/’
4. Double check all the necessary frameworks: ‘CoreImage.framework’, ‘opencv2.framework’, ‘QuartzCore.framework’, ‘ImageIO.framework’, ‘CoreMedia.framework’, ‘AVFoundation.framework’, MediaPlayer.framework
5. The API is rather simple, use it like this:

- (IBAction)initButton:(id)sender
{
    MAImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[MAImagePickerController alloc] init];
   
    [imagePicker setDelegate:self];
    [imagePicker setSourceType:MAImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
    
    UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:imagePicker];
    
    [self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (void)imagePickerDidCancel
{
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (void)imagePickerDidChooseImageWithPath:(NSString *)path
{
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    
    if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:path])
    {
        NSLog(@"File Found at %@", path);
        
    }
    else
    {
        NSLog(@"No File Found at %@", path);
    }
    
    [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:path error:nil];
}
