CameraView.Camera

A camera component with CameraProps.onCapture and CameraProps.onFrame callbacks. To programmatically trigger a capture, call the takePicture function.

export default function App() {
  const {imageClass, processImage} = useImageClassification(
    require('./resnet18.ptl'),
  );

  const handleFrame = useCallback(
    async (image: Image) => {
      await processImage(image);
      image.release();
    },
    [processImage],
  );

  return (
    <>
      <Camera
        style={styles.camera}
        onFrame={handleFrame}
        hideCaptureButton={true}
      />
      <Text>{imageClass}</Text>
    </>

  }

  function handleTakePicture() {
    const camera = cameraRef.current;
    if (camera != null) {
      camera.takePicture();
    }
  }

  return (
    <>
      <Camera
        ref={cameraRef}
        onCapture={handleCapture}
        hideCaptureButton={true}
