• Fix I/O retrieval for composite I/O like object detection I/O, instance segmentation I/O, ...
• Fix typo error in Workflow::set_parameters()
• ...

v0.9.1

This minor version only includes the Ikomia domain change: ikomia.com -> ikomia.ai

v0.9.0

This release introduces many break changes as we change the naming convention of the Python bindings from the C++ core. The complete API is now in Snake Case style for all functions, there is no more difference between pure Python and C++ API. These changes may occur during the consolidation period of the API marked by the 0.x.x versions.

New features:

• OpenCV 4.7.0
• Python 3.10 support
• MLFlow 1.30
• Remove authentication to install and load algorithms from Ikomia HUB
• Algorithms lazy loading to speed up API initialization
• New base classes for common computer vision tasks:
  • object detection
  • semantic segmentation
  • instance segmentation
  • keypoints detection
• Add workflow text I/O
• Add internal algorithms: OpenCV Blur and StackBlur
• Add automatic conversion from instance segmentation I/O to semantic I/O

Improvements:

• New auto-completion system (ik module)
• New documentation
• Algorithm parameters are set from dict structure (not C++ structure anymore)
• Filtering process for object detection, instance segmentation and semantic segmentation outputs
• Handle print() function for many API objects
• System to find best video writer back-end and codec for video export
• displayIO module (now part of ikomia.utils)
• Warn user when an algorithm is not connected to any other algorithm in a workflow

Bug fixes:

• Fix object detection graphics export
• Fix elapsed time computation for training workflows
• Fix JSON serialization of image I/O
• Fix wrong output filenames on batch processing
• Fix synchronous download method for workflow tasks
• ...

v0.8.1

Improvements:

• Timeout support while writing videos
• Add Python bindings for executeActions() for classes inheriting ikomia.core.CWorkflowTask
• Add download method in ikomia.core.CWorkflowTask
• Improve logging system
• Update and fix documentation
• Let training task starts if Tensorboard initialization failed

Bug fixes:

• Manage invalid ID passed to ikomia.dataprocess.CWorkflow.getTask()
• Fix legend image for semantic segmentation output
• Auto-completion process skip invalid plugins
• ...

v0.8.0

New features:

• New algorithms from the Ikomia HUB: YoloV7, Open MMlab object detection, SparseInst (training and inference)
• Add filtering tasks for object detection, instance segmentation and semantic segmentation
• Add display for text data (Python data dict output for example)
• Add feature to blacklist Python packages that confict with Ikomia built-in packages
• Manage new workflow I/O: object detection, instance segmentation, semantic segmentation
• Add automatic I/O conversion between different types (ex: object detection output -> graphics input)

Improvements:

• Manage compilation architecture for C++ algorithms from Ikomia HUB

Bug fixes:

• Disable Tensorboard auto-start to avoid algorithm installation failure
• ...
