v1.6.0 — Finger removal + leaner arm64-only build
ClearPDF Local v1.6.0 — finger removal (best-effort) + a leaner app
Phase 4 polish plus a meaningful size cut.
What's new
- Remove finger — a new action on each scanned page. If a finger holding the book got caught at the page edge, this masks the skin-coloured region and inpaints it away. Best-effort: it only targets a finger entering from the edge, and it cannot restore text the finger was covering.
Size
- The app now ships arm64-v8a only (drops the legacy 32-bit armeabi-v7a copies of OpenCV / ONNX Runtime / Tesseract). The universal APK is much smaller as a result; by 2026 effectively all Android devices are arm64.
- Note: model int8 quantization was tried and rejected — it shrank the model (31.7→8 MB) but ran ~7× slower, which would wreck the auto-flatten flow. The full-precision model is kept.
Honest note
- Finger removal is shipped without on-device testing yet (batched with later checks). The size change and the build are verified; glare removal is intentionally not included (blown-out highlights can't be recovered).
