Release Notes & Version History
Machine Vision Toolbox version 3
- Changes:
- Massive changes throughout, many new functions, some changed call
syntax
- Camera calibration. The function camcalt for Tsai's
method has been removed. Bouguet's Camera Calibration Toolbox is
preferred.
- Various camera-related functions such as camcalp_t,
camparam are now performed by the
CentralCamera class.
- New features:
- Camera models. An abstract superclass Camera and its subclasses
CentralCamera, FisheyeCamera, CatadioptricCamera, SphericalCamera for
central projection perspective camera, fisheye lens camera,
catadioptric (panoramic) camera and spherical camera respectively.
- Feature classes. Classes for PointFeature with subclasses
ScalePointFeature, SiftPointFeature, SurfPointFeature; LineFeature; and
RegionFeature.
- New segmentation routines such as MSER and graph-based
segmentation
- Bugfixes:
- Improved error messages in many functions
- Removed trailing commas from if and for statements
- Known bugs and limitations:
- The Video class is not yet complete. Right now it
depends on the Matlab Image Acquisition Toolbox, but the goal is to
have MEX functions that work natively on Linux and Mac without
requiring this Toolbox.
- September, 2011
