Requirements

Android

  • minSdkVersion: 24 or higher
  • ARCore: Device must support ARCore (Google Play Services for AR)
  • Camera Permission: Required at runtime

iOS

Setup

Android

Add the following to your app's AndroidManifest.xml inside the <application> tag:

<meta-data

    android:value="required" />

iOS

Add camera permission to your Info.plist:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Camera access is required to get camera intrinsics</string>

Usage

import 'package:camera_intrinsics/camera_intrinsics.dart';

// Get camera intrinsics
try {
  final response = await CameraIntrinsics.getIntrinsics();

  final intrinsics = response.intrinsics;
  print('Focal Length: ${intrinsics['focalLength']}');
  print('Principal Point: ${intrinsics['principalPoint']}');
  print('Image Dimensions: ${intrinsics['imageDimensions']}');
  print('Distortion: ${intrinsics['distortion']}');
  print('Was cached: ${response.isCached}');
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
  print('Error: ${e.message}');
}

// Clear cache if you need fresh data
CameraIntrinsics.clearCache();

Response Data

Field Type Description
focalLength List<double> Focal length in pixels fx, fy
principalPoint List<double> Principal point cx, cy
imageDimensions List<int> Image size width, height
distortion List<double> Distortion coefficients (Android only, empty on iOS)
