v1.0.3rc2

Second release candidate for v1.0.3

v1.0.3rc1

First release candidate for v1.0.3

v1.0.2

Improved Documentation

• Update Read the Docs page with new colour scheme and layout
• Update benchmarks with model accuracies
• Replace PoseNet 101 with PoseNet 100 in model types due to higher accuracy
• Update CONTRIBUTING.md
• Update CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
• Streamline README.md by adding section that directs users to Read the Docs page

v1.0.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix error in Linux when input.live and output.screen are used and q is pressed to terminate process
• Fix zone counting use case failing due to incorrect dependencies
• Fix average FPS calculation of dabble.fps by ignoring fast final frame which skews the results

Improved Documentation

• Add FPS benchmark results
• Update instructions for configuring nodes via CLI
• Update instructions for building custom nodes
• Update instructions for using Python API

Dependencies

• Update shapely to 1.7.1 to resolve zone counting use case issue

v1.0.0

Features

• Add Python API mode by allowing configs to be modified at node level

• Simplify calling of config attributes as a consequence of the above change

  # Example using input.live's __init__ method
  
  # Previously, configs had to be extracted from the "config" dictionary 
  mirror_image = config['mirror_image']
  
  # Now, the Abstract Node takes care of this, and each attribute can be called directly
  self.mirror_image

• Improve error handling of input, model, and output nodes

Deprecations and Removals

• Rename all heuristic nodes as dabble nodes

Improved Documentation

• Shorten README.md by moving most guides into readthedocs page (https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)
• Include bibliography, Python API and CV model benchmark sections

Dependencies

• Move CI/CD dependencies out of requirements.txt into cicd_requirements.txt

v0.4.0

User Interface

• Update colours of bboxes, keypoints, edges, fonts to maintain consistency of PeekingDuck colour scheme
• Improve visibility of displayed text by adding translucent/opaque background behind

Features

• Add draw.legend node for drawing output of heuristic.bbox_count, heuristic.zone_count, heuristic.fps in a legend
• Add draw.image_processor node to allow changing of image brightness and contrast
• Add heuristic.fps node for tracking FPS
• Add feature to modify node configurations from CLI by using --node_config flag
• Add feature to show version of PeekingDuck installed from CLI by using --version flag

Deprecations and Removals

• Deprecate draw.bbox_count node
• Deprecate draw.zone_count node
• Deprecate draw.fps node

Improved Documentation

• Standardise node docstring formatting for readthedocs page (https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)
• Update downloadable demo video in readme to show ducks instead of athletes

v0.3.1

Bug Fixes:

• Fix custom node creation for Windows users

v0.3.0

Changelog for v0.3.0

Process

• Update code and docs on modifying node configurations in run_config.yml to follow typical yaml convention without requiring a - in front

# Updated
- input.live:
    resize:
	  do_resizing: True

# Previous
- input.live:
  - resize:
	do_resizing: True

Features

• Add model.hrnet node for pose estimation
• Add output.csv_writer node
• Allow folder name for custom node source code to be customised using -custom_folder_name flag
• Allow video resolution to be changed in configs for input.live and input.recorded
• Allow live feed from input.live to be saved as a recorded video after inferencing
• Add ["all"] input type that allows nodes to access all variables in data pool if used
• Add ["pipeline_end"] output type that returns True when the pipeline has ended for input.live, input.recorded and output.screen nodes
• Add ["none"] input/output type for nodes that do not require any input/output
• Show percentage progress of inference on recorded videos using input.recorded
• Show updates of number of processed frames using input.live
• Append timestamp to output filenames

Deprecations and Removals

• Remove ["end"] input/output type - this is replaced by ["pipeline_end"]
• Remove ["source"] input type - this is replaced by ["none"]
• draw nodes return ["none"] instead of ["img"] types

Bug Fixes

• Update nested configs in run_config.yml without overwriting key-value pairs of the same parent

0.2.3rc1

Update sleep timer to 300

0.2.3rc0
