Release notes IDS peak 2.11
Introduction
These release notes describe the changes in IDS peak 2.11, which splits the Windows setup into 64-bit and 32-bit. The IDS peak Cockpit introduces the saving of parameters in the workspace and adds further functions for using the crosshairs and annotations. In the IDS peak AFL, the host-side auto controls were revised and a mean algorithm was added.
IDS peak 2.11
New and changed functions
From IDS peak 2.11 on, the standard setup under Windows is split into a 64-bit and a 32-bit version. This takes account of the fact that 32-bit systems under Windows are increasingly less in demand. The runtime and extended setup are still only available as 64-bit versions (see Release Notes IDS peak 2.10).
IDS peak Cockpit
- From IDS peak 2.11 on, you can define additional parameters when saving a workspace, such as host-based image processing, overlays or camera parameters. The workspace storage format has been revised for this purpose. Workspaces created in previous IDS peak versions can still be used.
- The following improvements are introduced for drawing and editing overlays:
- You can select individual elements, e.g. to edit the color or line type.
- You can correct the measurement unit of a measurement line at a later time.
- You can draw an ellipse/circle centered around the mouse pointer by pressing and holding the ALT key.
- You can select an element to move it or to delete it using the DEL key.
- In the IDS peak Cockpit, you can display crosshairs in the image. You can move the crosshairs using the mouse while holding down the CTRL key. A new feature has been added that allows you to reset the position of the crosshairs. To reset, use the drop-down menu of the crosshairs icon in the camera window.
IDS peak comfortSDK
- New functions for the automatic brightness control algorithm have been added.
- New functions for the gain component in the automatic brightness control have been added.
- Fixed a bug that
peak_CameraMemory_Area_Data_Writealways wrote the entire memory area.
IDS peak IPL (Image Processing Library)
- Fixed an issue that occurred when the binning factors were changed during a running binning process.
- An issue with debayering under ARM has been fixed.
IDS peak AFL (Auto Feature Library)
- An additional algorithm for calculating the average value in automatic brightness control was added.
- New functions were added for controlling the gain functions so that analog and digital gain can be used separately or combined in conjunction with host-based gain.
- Added support for the BGRa8 format in the white balance control.
DirectShow interface
- You can adjust the exposure and gain settings in the DirectShow interface or use automatic control (default). If the camera does not support automatic control, the host-based control is used.
- You can enable/disable the white balance control in the DirectShow interface.
- The DirectShow interface can be used with OBS Studio and OpenCV.
General improvements
- The support tool has been updated to provide information regarding the DirectShow interface.
