Release info: General Release
This is a major update for VisionLib which adds:
ARFoundation integration. Learn more about this feature here: AR Foundation Support (Beta).AdvancedModelTracking scene. To use it in a custom scene, add the VLPlaneConstrainedMode component to a GameObject.VLTrackingConfiguration component in Unity to hold the most important file references and to enable the use of URIs.Thank you to all our users for giving feedback.
ARFoundationModelTracking example scene to the Experimental package.UEyeCameraTracking example scene, which includes the possibility to calibrate the camera and to adjust some camera settings.AdvancedModelTracking scene to enable and disable the Plane Constrained Mode, while using external SLAM.Constrain to Plane and Disable Constraint to the HoloLens example scenes to enable and disable the Plane Constrained Mode.VLTrackingConfiguration component via an URI. This includes the possibility to use schemes and queries.VLTrackingConfiguration component. They can also be set using an URI.project-dir scheme.Reset Init Data will now clear all re-initialization data and not only the static one.VL_ERROR_LICENSE_INVALID_FEATURE issue when trying to use a device of type video.project_dir wasn't set correctly when the query string contained / or \.streaming-assets-dir which can be used to set the URI of the tracking configuration, license file or calibration relatively to the StreamingAssets folder. Find more information on URIs with schemes here: File AccessVLTrackingAnchors, that are used in multi model tracking, can now be enabled and disabled during runtime.smoothTime parameter to VLTrackingAnchor to smoothly update anchor transforms (i.e. prevent / reduce jumping).SimpleCameraCalibration scene now provides a Start and Stop button and directly logs the calibration results to the console when pressing Calibrate.deviceInfo anymore. Instead, the selected cameras name, deviceID and its available formats are logged.VLTrackingConfiguration on runtime while Auto Start Tracking is set.VLBackgroundImage in the wrong scene when loading a VisionLib scene additively.high on iOS using ARKit SLAM, the display image will no longer be scaled down.640x480 or high) inside the camera section of the tracking configuration on Windows. For details see Configuration File Reference.getModelData from arrays to objects. Before: {"s": [1, 1, 1], "t": [0, 0, 0], "r": [0, 0, 0, 1]} Now: {"s": {"x":1, "y":1, "z":1}, "t": {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, "r":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":0, "w": 1}} Note: This change allows to directly deserialize to Unity Vector and Quaternion objects.VLWorkerBehaviour can now contain schemes, e.g. local-storage-dir: or streaming-assets-dir:.VLWorkerBehaviour.baseDir parameter in the VLCamera and the VLHoloLensTracker.VLTrackingIssues. Please use VLIssues instead.OnTrackerInitializedWithIssues. Please use OnIssuesTriggered instead. This event will only be triggered, if an issue occurred.VLAbstractApplicationWrapper. Please use corresponding functions of VLWorker instead.Log to Mute. While using LogLevel Mute, VisionLib will not log any message at all.VLInitCameraBehaviour.overwriteOnLoad to VLInitCameraBehaviour.usePoseFromTrackingConfig.VLUnitySdk.GetVersionString, VLUnitySdk.GetVersionHashString, and VLUnitySdk.GetVersionTimestampString now directly return the requested string and throw an InvalidOperationException on failure.CameraCalibrationExampleBehaviour will now make use of a VLTrackingConfiguration in the scene. If you have used this behaviour in a custom scene, please add a VLTrackingConfiguration component in the hierarchy and reference your used tracking configuration file in its public field to upgrade your scene. Check the Use Input Selection and Auto Start Tracking option to achieve the previous behaviour.vlSDKUtil_registerScheme function to programmatically create schemes at runtime.VLTrackingIssues to VLIssues and onTrackerInitializedWithWarningIssues to onIssuesTriggered in the Objective-C interface.vlAbstractApplicationWrapper. Please create the vlWorker using a nullptr instead of an vlAbstractApplication pointer.vlAbstractApplicationWrapper related functions. Please use the corresponding commands or json commands of vlWorker instead.vlSDK::vlSDK target, the config also defines a VLSDK_FRAMEWORK_DIR variable, which contains the full path to the vlSDK.framework directory. This can be used to copy the framework into the application bundle structure.VL_LOG_LOG LogLevel enum value to VL_LOG_MUTE. While using LogLevel VL_LOG_MUTE, VisionLib will not log any message at all. If vlLog is called with LogLevel Mute, the message will not be logged.vlAbstractApplicationWrapper_GetLicenseInformation and vlWorker_GetLicenseInformation will now be indented.vlSDKiOS.h from the Objective-C interface. If you included it before, include vlSDK_Apple.h instead.vlSimilarityTransformWrapper_t to wrap similarity transforms. Such transforms have a scale factor in addition to rotation and translation in comparison to transforms represented by vlExtrinsicDataWrapper_t, that only rotate and translate.vlWorker_AddNodeDataSimilarityTransformListener and vlWorker_RemoveNodeDataSimilarityTransformListener to add and remove node listeners for SimilarityTransform events.vlWorker_AddWorldFromCameraTransformListener and vlWorker_RemoveWorldFromCameraTransformListener to register and unregister extrinsic data listeners for the transformation from world to camera coordinate system as provided by SLAM (like ARCore, ARKit or on HoloLens). If no SLAM approach is used, we assume that the camera is stationary and the models move in the world. We therefore set the WorldFromCameraTransform to identity in this case.vlWorker_GetNodeSimilarityTransformSync and vlWorker_SetNodeSimilarityTransformSync for synchronous access to node SimilarityTransforms.vlWorker_SetNodeImageSync, vlWorker_SetNodeExtrinsicDataSync, vlWorker_SetNodeIntrinsicDataSync and vlWorker_SetNodeSimilarityTransformSync now also return false, if the node does not exist or the key has the wrong type. They previously returned true in those cases.vlSDKUtil_getModelHash to create the model hash of the given model into a buffer. This function is useful for requesting a license for a specific model programmatically.vlWorker_AddAnchorToWorldTransformListener and vlWorker_RemoveAnchorToWorldTransformListener. Added vlWorker_AddWorldFromAnchorTransformListener and vlWorker_RemoveWorldFromAnchorTransformListener instead. Those transformations are also from anchor to world coordinate system, however they are represented as a vlSimilarityTransformWrapper_t.vlWorker_LoadPlugin to load a specified VisionLib plugin (e.g. VideoUEye)
