CameraX & ML Kit Vision Integration 📸

Efficient real-time image analysis.

⚡ When to Use

• When asked to build barcode scanners, text recognition, or live face detection.

🏗️ Core Rules / Pillars

1. ImageAnalysis UseCase

• Pattern: ALWAYS use CameraX's ImageAnalysis use case bound to the lifecycle.
• Implementation: Pipe the ImageProxy directly to an InputImage for ML Kit, ensuring you call imageProxy.close() inside the .addOnCompleteListener.

🚧 Critical Anti-Hallucination Guards

• Trap: NEVER hold references to ImageProxy outside the analyzer scope to avoid out-of-memory errors!
