HarmonyOS NEXT Basic Vision Services Development Guide

I. Technical Overview

HarmonyOS NEXT Basic Vision Services provides developers with a comprehensive set of computer vision capabilities, including core functions such as image processing, feature analysis, and object detection. These capabilities are exposed through unified API interfaces, supporting efficient, low-power vision application development.

II. Core Function Implementation

1. Service Initialization

`import { vision } from '@ohos.vision';

// Initialize vision service
async function initVisionService() {
try {
const visionManager = await vision.createVisionManager();
console.info('Vision service initialized successfully');
return visionManager;
} catch (error) {
console.error(Initialization failed: ${error.code}, message: ${error.message});
throw error;
}
}`

1. Image Analysis Example

`// Image feature analysis
async function analyzeImage(visionManager: vision.VisionManager,
imageSource: image.ImageSource) {
const config: vision.ImageAnalysisConfig = {
analysisType: [
vision.AnalysisType.COLOR_DOMINANT, // Dominant color analysis
vision.AnalysisType.TEXTURE // Texture analysis
],
pixelFormat: vision.PixelFormat.RGBA_8888
};

try {
const results = await visionManager.analyzeImage(imageSource, config);
console.info('Dominant color: ' + results.colorDominant);
console.info('Texture feature: ' + results.textureFeature);
} catch (error) {
console.error(Analysis failed: ${error.code});
}
}`

III. Key Technology Analysis

`1. Multi-modal Collaborative Architecture**

• Underlying heterogeneous computing framework automatically allocates NPU/GPU/CPU resources
• Dynamic loading mechanism for vision algorithms, enabling specific functional modules on demand

1. Real-time Object Detection Implementation**

// Object detection configuration
const detectionConfig: vision.ObjectDetectionConfig = {
detectMode: vision.DetectMode.FAST, // Fast mode
objectTypes: [
vision.ObjectType.FACE,
vision.ObjectType.TEXT,
vision.ObjectType.QRCODE
]
};

// Execute detection
async function detectObjects(visionManager: vision.VisionManager,
imageSource: image.ImageSource) {
try {
const results = await visionManager.detectObjects(imageSource, detectionConfig);
results.objects.forEach(obj => {
console.info(Detected ${obj.type} with confidence ${obj.confidence});
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(Detection failed: ${error.code});
}
}
`

IV. Performance Optimization Recommendations

1. Resource Management Best Practices**

`// Process large images using shared memory
async function processLargeImage(uri: string) {
const imageSource = await image.createImageSource(uri);
const shareMemory = await imageSource.createShareMemory();
const visionManager = await initVisionService();

// Directly analyze using shared memory
const results = await visionManager.analyzeSharedMemory(
shareMemory,
{ analysisType: [vision.AnalysisType.OBJECT] }
);

shareMemory.release();
return results;
}
`

1. Pipeline Processing**

`// Create vision processing pipeline
const pipeline = vision.createPipeline()
.addNode(vision.NodeType.IMAGE_NORMALIZATION) // Image normalization
.addNode(vision.NodeType.FEATURE_EXTRACTION) // Feature extraction
.addNode(vision.NodeType.OBJECT_CLASSIFICATION); // Object classification

// Execute pipeline processing
async function processWithPipeline(imageSource: image.ImageSource) {
try {
const output = await pipeline.execute(imageSource);
console.info('Pipeline processing result:', output);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Pipeline execution error:', error);
}
}`

V. Typical Application Scenarios

1. Smart Photo Album Classification**

`// Scene recognition implementation
async function recognizeScene(imageSource: image.ImageSource) {
const config: vision.SceneRecognitionConfig = {
sceneTypes: [
vision.SceneType.NATURE,
vision.SceneType.BUILDING,
vision.SceneType.FOOD
]
};

 const result = await visionManager.recognizeScene(imageSource, config);
 return result.sceneType;

}
`

1. Document Scanning Enhancement**
