Frames.project with method="numpy" is improved so that it also works well in heavily undersampled areas.
Video instances defaulting with lazy=False. This in most cases increases the speed of video treatment significantly.
For large videos with large memory requirements, videos can be opened with lazy=True.
The legacy setup.py has been replaced by a pyproject.toml using flit installer.
Frames.project with method="numpy" is improved so that it also works well in heavily undersampled areas.
Video instances will default with lazy=False in v0.6.0. A warning message will appear for now
Plots of videos that are projected with method="numpy" were not correctly projected in commnad-line use, as they were still using cv as method. Now, method="numpy" is forced on plots as well, when using the command-line interface (direct use of the API requires the user to ensure the projection method is correct).
Projection with method="numpy" sometimes results in missing values in the result when parts of the objective are outside the camera view. This consequently results in only zero values when difference filtering is applied. This has been fixed.
Video instances can now be made with lazy=False (default is True). In this case, frames of videos are read in one go instead of lazily per frame. This consumes more memory but is a lot faster. For tested workflows from opening videos to writing and masking of velocities, this reduces the compute time with about 20%.
frames.project now has a method option which allows for choosing projection using opencv-methods (method="cv")
which is currently still the default, or numpy-like operations (method="numpy"). method="numpy" is new and we
may change the default behaviour to this option in a later release as it is much more robust in cases with a lot
of lens distortion and where part of the area of interest is outside of the field of view.
Videos can now be rotated, e.g. if a camera was setup with vertical orientation, without having a metadata tag for this.
Video rotation can be defined in the camera configuration, on the CLI with --rotation using either 90, 180 or 270
as measured in degrees, or for individual single videos as an additional input argument to pyorc.Video
e.g. pyorc.Video(..., rotation=90).
Some default values for estimating the intrinsic lens parameters from control points are changed. We now estimate the first two barrel distortion coefficients if enough information for constraining them is available.
In some cases, ground control points were not correctly projected from real-world to camera coordinates. This seemed to be an issue only on windows machines. This is now fixed.
--lowmem option added in the CLI for very large videos and/or low resource devices.
Calling of the service level now works through one function call that executes all actions within the service. All inputs to these functions MUST be in deserialized form. This generalizes the approach by which a service is executed which was necessary for getting ready for nodeOpenRiverCam (not released yet), which will be a shell around pyopenrivercam for scalable computation across a cloud. API / CLI users do not notice a difference.
Notebook 02 in the examples folder contained a deprecation error with the stabilize option for opening videos. This has been corrected and functionality description improved.
- removed the strict cartopy dependency. This enables pip installation for users that are not interested in geographical plotting. Enables also installation on raspi platforms (only 64-bit!)
- Transects sometimes gave infinite discharge when areas with zero depth received a small velocity. This has now been resolved.
- make it a lot easier to get well-calibrated ground control and lens parameters at the same time. we now do this by optimizing the lens' focal length and (if enough ground control is provided) barrel distortion whilst fitting the perspective to the user-provided ground control points.
- provide the fitted ground control points in the interface so that the user can immediately see if the ground control points are well fitted or if anything seems to be wrong with one or more control points.
- feature stabilization on command line which consequently provided user-interfacing to select non-moving areas by pointing and clicking.
- Much-improved stabilization for non-stable videos
- stabilization can also be configured in CameraConfig level to accomodate slightly moving fixed rigs
- h_a can be provided on command-line instead of in recipe
- old velocimetry.filter_... methods are now entirely removed
The most notable change is that the code now includes an automatically installed command-line interface. This will facilitate a much easier use by a large user group. Also the documentation is fully updated to include all functionalities for both command-line users and API users. In detail we have the following additions:
- First release of a command-line interface for the entire process of camera configuration, processing and preparing outputs and figures.
- Service layer that makes it easy for developers to connect pyorc to apps such as GUIs or dashboards.
- Full user guide with description of both the command-line interface and API.
- Small modifications and additions in the API to accomodate the command-line interface building.
- Bug fixes in the video objects causing videos to sometimes not open properly because of missing frames
- Documentation for velocimetry and masking
- filtering changed into mask as subclass pyorc.Velocimetry.mask
- all functions starting with pyorc.Velocimetry.filter....
