Changes

  • Removed the button to activate DHCP on eth1, since DHCP support for eth1 is deprecated.

  • iVA reloads the parameters dynamically after external changes, (for example if the ODS zones are modified using the ifm3d API).

New features

  • Enable dynamic changes of the i button to update the documentation of parameters depending on context.

  • Confidence value for each pixel is available.

  • 3D pixel information is available in replay mode.

  • Added an overlay to show the ODS zone or overhanging load actually used by the algorithm, in cases where it differs from the one visualized.

Bug Fixes

  • Switching colorization between amplitude and distance of a 3D camera was not applied in replay mode.

  • The distance slide bar was sometimes shown instead of the amplitude slide bar.

  • Correction of logging warnings about unexpected port 6.

  • In the manual port calibration wizard, it is not possible anymore to select two conflicting rotations at the same time.

  • The ODS occupancy grid was displayed mirrored in the Application view and in the side tab of the Monitor view. The two views are now consistent.

  • Setting ODS zones coordinates by clicking on the corner and entering values now works properly.

  • The ODS overhanging loads can be configured.

  • The X, Y and Z values displayed in the pixel information take into account the extrinsic calibration.

  • Chinese characters were displayed when hovering the mouse over a camera when running on Linux.
