Analyzing a selfie and visualizing its content
At a glance
| Item | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Calculate face-capture quality and visualize facial features for a collection of images using the Vision framework. |
| App architecture | A Swift sample with the source-visible chain SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp → MainView → Vision APIs. |
| Main patterns | No named application pattern supported by the extracted structure |
| Project style | 5 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries. |
| Execution model | Source-visible boundaries: Task, await suspension point; none alone proves a background thread. |
| State/event model | Source-visible mechanisms: SwiftUI state property wrapper. |
| Key frameworks/packages | SwiftUI, PhotosUI, Vision; these are source dependencies, not architecture labels. |

}Interpretation
The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into Vision.
Ownership and state

Ownership evidence
SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieResultsView.swift:11 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
struct SelfieResultsView: View {
var selfie: Selfie
// ...
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
SelfieResultsView |
Selfie (selfie) |
stores or receives | App/module collaborators |
BoundingBox |
NormalizedRect (normalizedRect) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
FaceLandmark |
Region (region) |
stores or receives | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
Selfie |
Data (photo) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.
Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety
Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.
| Concern | Source mechanism | Verified placement or handoff | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task creation | Task |
The source creates an unstructured task; surrounding context determines inherited actor isolation. | SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift:81 |
| Suspension boundary | await suspension point |
The source declares or crosses an asynchronous boundary; it does not by itself establish background execution. | SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift:84 |
@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.
Reference code
SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift:81 — representative execution boundary
Task {
// ...
if let image = try? await photo.loadTransferable(type: Data.self) {
selectedPhotosData.append(image)
}
// ...
}State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies
Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.
| Category | Mechanism or module | Verified role | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| State propagation | SwiftUI state property wrapper |
A SwiftUI property wrapper supplies or observes UI state. | SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift:12 |
| Source import | SwiftUI |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/CustomShapes.swift:8 |
| Source import | PhotosUI |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift:8 |
| Source import | Vision |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/CustomShapes.swift:9 |
receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.
Class and protocol design
SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary
@main
struct SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp: App {
// ...
MainView()
// ...
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp |
Application entry and top-level composition | App |
MainView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
SelfieResultsView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
BoundingBox |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | Shape |
FaceLandmark |

No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
normalizedRect (SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/CustomShapes.swift:13) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
showingFaceRectangle (SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieResultsView.swift:13) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
showingFaceLandmarks (SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieResultsView.swift:14) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
MainView (SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift:8) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |
Reference code
SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/CustomShapes.swift:13 — representative boundary
struct BoundingBox: Shape {
private let normalizedRect: NormalizedRect
// ...
}Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.
Logic ownership and placement
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Application entry and top-level composition | SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp |
The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit. |
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | MainView, SelfieResultsView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| No named application pattern | SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp.swift:10 |
The verified source directly composes concrete framework types; this document avoids forcing a pattern name. |
Naming conventions
- Types: App: SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp; View: MainView, SelfieResultsView.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
path,processSelfie,processAllSelfies. - Files:
SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieScoresAndLandmarksApp.swift,SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/MainView.swift,SelfieScoresAndLandmarks/SelfieResultsView.swift.
Architecture takeaways
SelfieScoresAndLandmarksAppis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, PhotosUI, Vision through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
- Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
- Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
