Using Flutter ARCore and Camera Plugin Together: A Practical Guide

Working with Flutter to create robust applications that incorporate augmented reality and object detection can pose some challenges, especially when it comes to handling camera resources. A common issue developers face is the monopolization of camera resources by the ARCore library when attempting to use camera functionalities simultaneously. If you are venturing into this space, you may be wondering: how can you effectively use both ARCore and a camera plugin for your object detection models?

In this guide, we will explore a solution that allows for both functionalities to operate alongside each other, making your app versatile and efficient.

Understanding the Problem

When using ARCore in your Flutter application, it's easy to find that it takes full control over the camera. As a result, if you're trying to deploy an object detection model using the camera plugin concurrently, you may run into performance issues or resource conflicts. The objective here is to utilize both functionalities without one interfering with the other.

Why Use Both ARCore and Camera Plugin?

ARCore: Ideal for creating immersive augmented reality experiences, allowing 3D objects to be anchored and interacted with in the real world.

Camera Plugin: Specifically designed for image capture and processing, suitable for implementing object detection through machine learning models.

Solution: Using Isolates for Independence

To address the challenges of simultaneous usage, we can utilize isolates in Flutter, allowing for separate threads of execution. This way, you can capture camera data without interrupting the operations of ARCore.

Step-by-Step Guide

Capture Camera Data:

Use the camera plugin to access the camera feed.

Retrieve camera data as a CameraImage.

Isolate for Inference:

Send the CameraImage to a new isolate.

Use this isolate to perform predictions or run your object detection model.

Render with ARCore:

Once an object is detected, utilize ARCore to position the 3D object accurately in the augmented reality space based on the data received from your object detection model.

Final Structure

Here's how the flow looks:

Main Thread: Handles UI and AR rendering with ARCore.

Camera Isolate: Captures images and processes them using the detection model.

Message Communication: Use Flutter's message passing API to send necessary data between the main thread and the isolate.

Conclusion

By leveraging isolates, you can effectively run an object detection model and use ARCore in your Flutter application simultaneously. This proactive approach not only increases the performance of your app but also enhances user experience by merging advanced functionalities seamlessly.

If you’re looking to develop applications that merge augmented reality with real-time object detection, implementing this solution will set you on the path to success.
