AForge.NET Framework 2.0.0 BETA Release Notes
20.03.2009
Version updates and fixes:
- Fixed registered issues/requests:
- Issue 7: New population shuffling;
- Issue 34: Suport of 32 bpp imag;
- Issue 35: Apply filters to raw image in unmanaged memory;
- Issue 42: Support of 16 bpp grayscale images;
- Issue 43: Support of 48 and 64 bpp color images;
- Issue 71: Flood Fill Algorithms in C#;
- Issue 84: AccessViolitionException in ReplaceChannel.ProcessFilter.
- General
- Added new AForge.Fuzzy
namespace containing classes for building fuzzy systems
(many thanks to Fabio Caversan, who is the main contributor to it).
- Added new AForge.Imaging.Formats
namespace containing some classes to decode
different specialized image formats, like PNM, FITS.
- Added new AForge.Robotis.TeRK
namespace containing classes to manipulate
Qwerk - Linux board aimed for building robots.
- AForge
- Parallel
class is added providing Parallel.For()
method aimed for paralleling computations across all cores in the system.
- AForge.Math
- Complex
structure is extended with set of new methods providing wider range of
operations with complex numbers.
- AForge.Imaging
- Added new set of base classes for image processing filters. These classes are
more flexible in support of different image formats and also provide runtime
information about filters - which formats are supported by image processing
filter and which format will be generated for result image.
- Introduced support of unmanaged images
- images, which are don't have relation
with Bitmap and BitmapData classes from .NET. Unmanaged images are just pixel data
in unmanaged memory.
- Some image processing routines introduced support of 16 bpp grayscale image,
32 bpp color images, 48 and 64 bpp color image. See documentation for particular
routine to check supported image formats.
- DocumentSkewChecker
is added, which is aimed for checking rotation angle of scanned
documents.
- BlobCounterBase class now supports extracting of blobs' images, which size equals
to source image size (this is configurable, so user may specify size of blobs'
images).
- Added PointedColorFloodFill,
which fills image starting from the specified point
with solid color. The filter supports tolerance, which allows filling areas with
similar color.
- Added PointedMeanFloodFill,
which fills image starting from the specified point
with mean value of the filled area. Size of the area to fill depends on
specified tolerance.
- Added optimized versions of Erosion and Dilatation filters, which are aimed for
image processing with 3x3 structuring element and are optimized for certain
image formats:
BinaryDilatation3x3,
BinaryErosion3x3,
Dilatation3x3,
Erosion3x3.
- AForge.Controls
- Added PictureBox
control, which is derived from .NET's control, but supports
displaying of 16 bpp grayscale image and 48/64 color images, which are not
handled by .NET routines.
- Added VideoSourcePlayer
control, which allows playing video feeds provided by
classes implementing AForge.Video.IVideoSource
inerface.
- Added ColorSlider
control, which is aimed for selection of RGB color value
and ranges.
- AForge.Genetic
- Added support for migration between genetic populations. User may run several
population in deferent threads for example and perform members' migration
from time to time. See Population.Migrate() method.
- DoubleArrayChromosome
class is extended with more advanced crossover and mutation
operators (see docs for details).
- AForge.Neuro
- AForge.NET Framework's samples
- Added ParallelTest sample application, which demonstrates usage of
AForge.Parallel.For().
- Added Fuzze Set Sample and FuzzyAGV sample applications, which demonstrate
usage of new AForge.Fuzzy namespace.
- Added ImageViewer sample application, which demostrates usage of new
AForge.Imaging.Formats namespace.
- Added QwerkStart sample application, which demonstrates basics of using
new AForge.Robotics.TeRK namespace and performs basic manipulations
of Qwerk.
- Added Player sample, which demonstrates usage of AForge.Video.* namespaces
for playing different video source.
- Added Two Cameras Test sample application, which demonstrates how to open
two web cameras simultaneously. Also may serve as useful utility of testing
two cameras from the same manufacturer (some cameras do not support dual
setup, so it is nice to have something to test that quickly).
- and just many smaller updates in this version ...
