v0.6.7 (RodTracker)

[v0.6.7] (RodTracker)

Added

• a couple of warnings (data is loaded only from one camera) added which were missing in the last release
• added a warning when no particles are detected in a given frame
• new flake8 version warnings (F824) suppressed (will be addressed in the new releases)

Fixed

• updated paths in documentation

Note

• intended reference version for JOSS publication

v0.6.5 (RodTracker)

[v0.6.5]

Added

• shows warning message when loading coordinate data for only one camera (instead of producing an error)
• shows warning message when attempting to solve tracking or update the graphs when only one camera data is loaded

Fixed

• updated documentation of RodTracker with better explanation of workflow and usage of example data
• other small updates to documentation

Note:

• installer binaries will be updated soon for the next release

v0.6.4 (RodTracker)

Added

• Windows installer for CUDA 12.4 version (CUDA should be installed before RodTracker)

• placeholders (TBDs) were replaced for API documentation

Changed

• default rod detection models (CPU and CUDA) are now published and downloaded via PyTorch Hub (#102)
• default number of detected particles changed to 25 for each color (corresponding to default sample data)
• ParticleDetection dependency updated (ParticleDetection v0.4.3 now required)
• reverted to original dialogue window for stereo calibration/world transformation (for consistency with image loading dialogue)

Fixed

• tracking now works as intended, previously it required to press the "solve" button frame by frame (#96)
• solved issue when changes in data were not saved and reverted after pressing "solve" button
• tracking/matching tests were updated according to the fixed tracking issue

• informative dialog before downloading the example model for rod detection (#89)

Changed

• removed scaling of example data (#95)
• made error dialogues modal (#92)
• folders must be selected during image loading (#88)

Fixed

• numpy & torchvision version conflict (#90)
• loss of dimension when detecting only 1 particle per frame (#91)
• multiple errors in tests

v0.6.2 (RodTracker)

Added

• automated testing using a GitHub workflow (#84)

Changed

• removed/changed URL dependencies (#78)
• removed metadata from version generation

Fixed

• import sorting (#80)
• outdated ParticleDetection dependency (#74)

Removed

• GPU installation option

v0.6.1

Added

• support for python3.11
• support for more complex image file names, i.e. '..._00000.png'
• buttons to report issues/request features on GitHub
• dynamic versioning
• support for macOS
• creation of installers on Windows, Linux, and macOS
• choice between opening a local/online version of the documentation

Changed

• logo/icon

Fixed

• missing installation requirement (Git)
• capability to 'correct' rods when none are present in the loaded dataset on the current frame (#73)

Removed

• bundling into a single file

v0.6.0

Added

• old rod positions are displayed during editing as a visual cue
• mode for automatic selection of the rod closest to the cursor
• documentation with Sphinx
• integration of ParticleDetection functionality
  • detection of rods from images
  • recalculation of 3D rod positions from position updates in 2D
  • tracking of rods and following recalculation of 3D positions
  • evaluation plots for 3D position reconstruction
• shortcut to fit the displayed image to its available space
• added a 'busy' indicator for tabs running long background tasks
• shortcut to delete a rod when having it selected
• display of the documentation from the Help dropdown menu
• loaded/changed position data is automatically saved every 60 seconds

Changed

• rods are now displayed partially transparent while being selected
• display of a folder selection dialog, if no folder is selected during saving
• settings-/data-directory is now determined with platformdirs

Fixed

• test suite problems have been fixed
• initial display of rods on Windows
• rods not being completely deletable (#69)

Removed

• function to display the README in the application
• True number of rods setting is no longer available

v0.5.8

Added

• splash screen during the startup of the RodTracker

Changed

• migration from setuptools to poetry as the build system
• each module can now access its own logger, leading to more informative log messages

Fixed

• bundling of the RodTracker to a standalone program
• cropping of displayed rod numbers for font sizes >11

Removed

• splash screen during unpacking stage of standalone programs bundled as one file

v0.5.4

Changed
