How to scan physical photos in Outsystems Mobile?
Application Type
Mobile

Hi everyone,

I'm implementing a photo search function like you scan a photo (similar to a QR scan but it's a photo) and it searches it automatically, just like Google Len.

So I want to ask, is there any way to scan physical images like QR in Outsystems Mobile?

OutSystems does not offer out-of-the-box functionality for the feature you requested. However, if supported libraries are available, it can integrate with them as an extension, a service, or at the JavaScript level.

Currently Outsystyems haven't this type Prebuilt Feature but if you want to Achieve this type of Feature than used AI like Integrate with Chatgpt or AI so you can Achieve this Requirement

Just like this Forge Component where we can enter text and they Give Image related to text so Take this Forge as a References

I usually grab the image with the Camera plugin, then run a client action to auto‑crop and enhance contrast. If you need edge detection, you can script it with JavaScript inside the module.

You can also get decent results by pairing the built‑in Camera plugin with a bit of image cleanup using a client action that applies crop, deskew, and brightness tweaks before saving. I’ve done similar work in apps where image quality mattered, like feeding clean photos into Face2Social, so the same approach works fine here. If you need edge detection, adding a lightweight JS library through a plugin usually does the trick.
