CamTools v0.1.5 Release Notes

The v0.1.5 release of CamTools brings a host of new features, significant improvements, and various fixes to enhance the overall functionality and usability of the library.

New Features and Improvements

  • Render Geometries to Image: Introduced the ability to render geometries to an image with custom camera parameters, improving flexibility in rendering (#36).
  • Line Radius in Render Geometries: Enabled line_radius support in ct.render.render_geometries() for LineSet, enhancing the visual representation of lines (#38).
  • Efficient Image Cropping: Enhanced the performance of image cropping, allowing for faster and more efficient operations (#39).
  • Depth Image Rendering: Added ct.render.render_geometries for rendering depth images, expanding the rendering capabilities (#57).
  • Image Scaling for Depth to Point Cloud: Added support for image scaling in ct.project.depth_to_point_cloud(), allowing for more versatile image processing (#54).
  • Single Point Transformation: Introduced functionality to transform a single point, providing more precise control in point manipulation (#60).

Refactoring

  • Consistent Terminology: Renamed up-down to top-bottom and ensured consistent use of tblr throughout the codebase (#42).
  • Master to Main Transition: Updated links and CI configurations to transition from master to main, aligning with modern repository practices (#50).
  • Version Management: Switched to using importlib.metadata for version management for Python 3.8 and above, modernizing the build process (#51).
  • Projection API Enhancements: Improved projection APIs to enhance their functionality and usability (#53).
  • Dependency Management: Removed torch dependency, ensuring it is only installed for image metrics, reducing unnecessary dependencies (#55).
  • Depth to Point Cloud API Change: Renamed return_as_image to to_image in depth_to_point_cloud, making the function naming more intuitive (#58).
  • Utility Module Renaming: Renamed ct.utility to ct.util, streamlining the utility module structure (#45).

Fixes

  • Order Preservation in Loops: Ensured order preservation for mt_loop and mp_loop, improving consistency in processing (#44).
  • PNG Handling in Crop-Borders Tool: Improved the handling of PNG files with alpha channels in the crop-borders tool (#35).
  • OpenCV and OpenGL Conversion: Fixed issues with transformations and pose conversions between OpenCV and OpenGL (#52).
  • Device Assertion Removal: Removed the assertion for the same device, fixing potential issues related to device handling (#56).

Documentation and Build

  • Contribution Section: Added a new contribution section to the documentation, encouraging community participation and providing guidelines for contributors (#40).
  • Strict Editable Mode Installation: Updated installation instructions to include strict editable mode, ensuring a more reliable setup process (#48).
