Changing engine for decoding codes
Regarding - https://github.com/markusfisch/BinaryEye/issues/49
I found nice performant engine for decoding QR Codes.
It's BoofCV
Performance test compared to others, like:
- BoofCV (Ver. 0.33)
- OpenCV (Ver. 4.0.1)
- Quirc (Feb 1, 2018. SHA 307473db)
- ZBar (Ver. 0.10)
- ZXing (Ver. 3.3.3)
looks really impressive

What do you think about changing engine to BoofCV? Of course if it has same features and supports same codes. Just FYI issue.
This looks very interesting indeed! Will definitely try it out! 👍
As far as I can see, BoofCV would only decode QR codes, right? It wouldn't be much of a problem to run the camera image through another barcode scanner. Especially if it's really fast.
I don't know, I'm not specialist in this matter. I just only found about this when I was searching what could be the cause of https://github.com/markusfisch/BinaryEye/issues/49 and encounter that WallΞTH is changing engine for decoding codes from ZXing to BoofCV in https://github.com/walleth/walleth/issues/383 because of the same issue https://github.com/walleth/walleth/issues/382.
Well, it's always good to have options.
I think it's pretty silly for ZXing to require minSdkVersion 24 for version 3.4.0. It's far too early for this and I won't exclude users just because they want to use fancy stuff.
Never trade compatibility for developer comfort. Nobody cares how an app is written. People just care if it works or not.
