Version 2.4.1

v2.4.1

Added

• Added inclination sign map in SLIXParameterGenerator
• Added SLIX.parameters which contains all the parameters for the operations of the toolbox.
• Added SLIX._logging to replace the print statements in SLIX. This is a private variable and should not be used.
• Added SLIX._decorators for additional checks of the toolbox. This should ensure that the toolbox is not used in a wrong way.

Changed

• Added check for write operations before actually trying to generate any content reducing the computing time if the program would fail anyways.

• Changed the memory management between CPU and GPU in SLIXParameterGenerator which might reduce computing time.

• Changed print statements in SLIX to logging statements where possible. The tqdm progress bar is still used.

• SLIX.GPU now uses more than 1 thread for the GPU. The current value is 16x16 threads per block.

• Replaced uint8 with int8 in _centroid_correction_bases. This shouldn't affect the toolbox itself but ensures that the correct data type is used.

• Refactored some methods throughout the toolbox to improve maintainability. This will not affect the functionality of the toolbox.

• The inclination sign map will now be written by default.

Fixed

• Fixed out-of-bounds issues in SLIX.GPU when using more than 1x1 threads per block.
• Fixed issue in centroid calculation on the GPU where the normalized image wasn't stored in the GPU memory resulting in additional transfers through the CPU and GPU.
• Fixed an issue with SLIX.attributemanager where the method set_reference_modality_to was not working because it got overwritten.
• Fixed an issue where you could use any amount of arguments after the --smoothing flag in SLIXParameterGenerator resulting in weird behaviour for the users.
• Fixed an issue where the GPU would still be used to calculate the centroids even though the GPU execution was disabled.
