## Description

This project provides cross-platform programmatic interfaces and UI components for integrating camera hardware into mobile applications. It serves as a tool for implementing image and video capture, as well as specialized scanning and recognition tasks.

The library includes specialized capabilities for computer vision, including a barcode scanner for decoding various barcode types, a face detection tool to identify human faces in a live feed, and an optical character recognition engine for extracting written text from the camera stream.

The system covers hardware configuration and control, including the selection of front or back cameras and the management of focus, zoom, flash, and exposure. It also handles system-level camera and microphone permission management and provides mock components for simulating hardware behavior during testing.
