Changed behavior

• SICAD constructs now always require the intrinsic camera parameters.
• SICAD object construction cannot be procrastinated to a later call of SICAD::initSICAD().
• SICAD objects now always perform off-screen rendering and the constructor's window_visible parameter has been removed.

CMake

• The CMake target now has namespace SI:: instead of SuperimposeMesh::.
• Devel branch will now have +100 on the patch number to differentiate from master branch.
• assimp library is now serched using YCM Findassimp.cmake.
• glew library is now serched using YCM FindGLEW.cmake.
• Use CONFIG mode for glfw3.
• AddInstallRPATHSupport.cmake is now used from YCM.
• InstallBasicPackageFiles.cmake is now used from YCM.
• Import AddDependenciesPrintUtils from robotology/YARP - robotology/visual-tracking-control to visualize the status of dependencies.
• Removed explicit dependency to OpenGL.
• Tests are now correctly generated for Visual Studio generator.

Feature

• SICAD class now provide default OpenGL shaders. The behaviour is the following:
  • By not providing a shader folder path to SICAD constructor, the default shaders will be used.
  • By providing a shader folder path to SICAD constructor, the default shaders will be bypassed.
    Please read the updated documentation of the SICAD class constructors to have a full understanding of this new capability.
• Add SICAD::superimpose() methods to render images to Pixel Buffer Objects (PBO).
• Add SICAD::getPBOs() and SICDAD::getPBO(size_t) to access the allow the user to read the PBOs and manipulate the memory on the GPU.
  As an example, the user may map the PBO on a CUDA/OpenCL-enabled GPU and do some processing on the images directly on the GPU, without wasting CPU time and copy on memory overheads.
• Add SICAD::setMipmapsOpt(SICAD::MIPMaps) public method to change the type of MIPMaps. Can be MIPMaps::nearest or MIPMaps::linear.
• Improved tests.
• SICAD will now automatically find mesh textures and select the proper shader program to render them.

Dependencies

• Added mandatory dependency from YCM release 0.10.2 and above.
• Minimum required version of Assimp is now 3.3.0.
• Minimum required version of OpenCV is now 2.4.9.

Test

• Fixed both AppVeyor and Travis tests.
• Added tests for mesh with textures.
• Added tests to use custom, user-provided, OpenGL shaders.

Updates

Bugfix

• Fix tests, some shader files were not copied in the binary test folder.
• Fix exported dependencies, GLFW3 and GLEW are now lower case.

Updates

Changed behavior

• The library now renders on a dedicated framebuffer and is no longer capable of showing the rendering status onscreen.
  • Future version may enable this behavior in some way or completely remove the creation of a rendering window at all.

Feature

• It is now possible to draw/render a reference frame instead of a mesh by passing "frame" as object name to ModelPoseContainer.

Bugfix

• Windows platform can now render any image size (limited to discrete card capabilities).
• Fixed an error in the camera projection matrix that was causing small position drift at increasing distances.

Updates

Bugfix

• Windows is now fully supported and tested.

Test

• Add Appveyor and Travis yml files. Tests still need to be improved.

Updates

CMake

• Update installation helper files, which are updated from YCM commit f162fcb.

This is the first public release of the SuperimposeMesh library.
