Change Log

v1.2.0 (not yet released)

  • Added new API's k4a_image_get_device_timestamp_usec(), k4a_image_get_system_timestamp_usec(), k4a_image_set_device_timestamp_usec(), k4a_image_set_system_timestamp_usec(), and k4a_image_set_exposure_usec().
  • Deprecated API's k4a_image_get_timestamp_usec(), k4a_image_set_timestamp_usec(), and k4a_image_set_exposure_time_usec().

v1.1.0

  • Clean up repo documentation for going public.
  • New API k4a_device_get_color_control_capabilities() to read color control capabilities was added. (#319)
  • C++ wrapper added.
  • Linux, Color camera support added.
  • K4A_COLOR_CONTROL_AUTO_EXPOSURE_PRIORITY deprecated. (#277)
  • New K4A_*_TRACK tags added to recordings for track identification. (#259)
  • Playback External Sync example added. (#274)
  • Playback API format conversion support added (MJPG -> BGRA32, etc...). (#237)
  • Playback IMU API added. (#213)
  • Various playback performance improvements, including read-ahead and cluster caching. (#203, #189, #142)
  • k4a_playback_seek_timestamp() functionality changed to fix edge cases. (#141)

v1.0.0

  • Breaking Change to pre-production devices, update container ID & serial number
  • Added support for multiple devices on a single PC.

v0.8.0

  • Output intrinsic calibrated IMU data
  • Changed units of IMU accelerometer reading from G to meters per second squared.
  • Changed units of IMU Gyroscope reading from degrees per second to radians per second.
  • Breaking change to k4a_calibration_get_from_raw API, size of source calibration string is now required along with the source calibration.
  • Added FW version minimum bar check
  • Integrated GPU transform engine into SDK to accelerate transformation between depth image and color image.
  • Depth Engine plugin versioning through binding with SDK during loading and more logging added.

v0.7.1

  • Added file based record and playback headers to SDK
  • Swapped tangential distortion parameters p1 and p2 in intrinsic calibration to align with OpenCV.

v0.7.0

  • Removed deprecated API's and structures
  • Drop depth captures if they arrive successfully over USB but are too small.
  • Drop IMU captures when the timestamp is reported is not valid.
  • On k4a_device_open, stop depth and IMU sensors from streaming in the event the previous session didn't clean up.
  • Renamed k4a_camera_calibration_t to k4a_calibration_camera_t for naming consistency in k4atypes.h.
  • Renamed k4a_intrinsic_parameters_t to k4a_calibration_intrinsic_parameters_t for naming consistency in k4atypes.h.
  • OpenCV compatibility
    • Added support for Brown-Conrady lens model.
    • Modified parameters of intrinsic calibration to be pixelized and 0-centered instead of unitized and 0-cornered.

v0.6.0

  • Added support for k4a_image_t and family of API's to support access.
  • Removed direction image access via k4a_capture_ API's
  • Deprecated most k4a_capture_get_* API's

v0.5.2

  • Switched firmware file to manufacturing version to address bugs

v0.5.1

  • Add firmware binary blob to SDK

v0.5.0

  • destub_depth_engine_process_frame error was converted to a warning and message softened.
  • Added synchronized_images_only to k4a_device_configuration_t
  • USB depth transfer request size more closely matches expected image size.
  • k4aviewer now can save default settings
  • Bug fixes

v0.3.0
