Firebase MLKit Android from an external camera












1















I believe I found a bug in the Firebase MLKit for Android, but perhaps other people have some insight into it.



I am currently streaming video from a drone to my Android device. It is being decoded to YUV420-888 with MediaCodecand written to an InputReader surface. When I pass the Image received in the InputReader callback to MLKit using fromMediaImage, there are no errors but it fails to detect anything in the image. If I convert the Image to a Bitmap using PixelCopy and then pass that into MLKit with fromBitmap, it then succeeds at detecting features in the image.



I think the problem may be that the video is not originating from the phone's camera, but rather from an external camera on the drone (therefore not using Camera2 APIs). I know my video feed is working in general because it can be previewed on a SurfaceView and because it works after being turned into a Bitmap. This leads me to believe that the MLKit parsing of YUV420-888 data must be incorrect and that is what leads to the issue.



Anyone have any insight?
