Assigning Picture from Camera Widget to AI Form Processor

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Is it possible to take a picture with the camera widget and pass it to the form processor AI widget?

I'd like for a user to be able to take a picture within the app and have the form processor automatically start reviewing the image. Every tutorial I've seen thus far requires a user to select a document from local storage and I can't seem to find a way to take control of the "analyze" button associated with the widget.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thanks for your question. If you run the PowerApp you've built with the Form Processor control on an iOS or Android device, the control will let you choose to take a photo using the device camera.

Is this what you are looking to do?

I'm revisiting this topic. Is it yet possible to pass an image via a variable to the Form Processor control? My use case will be on a desktop computer taking pictures of type plates on automotive components. Right now I'm using a Camera control and passing the image to Power Automate. It works wonderfully, but I'd like to keep it in-app if possible.

May i reiterate this topic? With my power app, I want to push a photo taken with the camera control to the form processor control (on a different screen) and then programmatically start the "process" action of the form processor. The documentation says that the form processor control can take an image, so I assume that the basic flow is possible.
But unfortunately i didn't get it working yet. Do you have any ideas?

We have a similar request.

We would like to set the path or data of the image dynamically on the AI Form Processor and start the review.

Hi Jason, could you please explain how did you achieve this with Power Automate? Did you pass the image back to the form processor control in power apps? If yes, how did you do it?

I never got it to work with the Form Processor control. I Instead passed the image to Power Automate as a file and performed all of the processing in Power Automate. Then the fields I'm extracting are returned to Power Apps. This also allows me to have a more advanced workflow with images returning a lower-than-expected confidence score being sent back to the Feedback Loop of my model.

Unfortunately I can't do any more testing, because after two years in a POC, my company decided not to move forward with AI Builder, so I have no credits to test with.
