Cheetah1 SDK v1.18 ReleaseNote

Version：V1.17

Release Date：Jan 26, 2018

1. New Function & Bug Fix

1.1 Due to the Windows version, the COM port of the serial device may be changed after the operating system is rebooted.

Therefore, the API "Roseek_System_GetSerialPortName" is added to obtain the device name (COM (n)) corresponding to a serial device with a specific serial number.

The serial number 0 means RS232 device, and the serial number 1 means RS485 device.

1.2 Solve the problem that immediately capture can not get the image and can only be delayed 300 milliseconds to capture the image after interface function "Roseek_Capture_Build" returns.

1.3 Fix the BUG that mode switch may be delayed or failed between continuous mode and trigger mode.

1.4 Add the function of capture image queue control.

Add the two options, to put the new capture image into a continuous mode image queue or to copy the snapshot image into a continuous mode image queue.

Add corresponding API functions Roseek_Capture_SetFetchFrameMode and Roseek_Capture_GetFetchFrameMode.

1.5 For the trigger capture function of the RSCT123 model, replace the GlobalReset way with extracting a frame from a continuous stream to achieve the function.

1.6 TImprove the upgrade protocol and provide richer upgrade process information tips.

1.7 Optimize the image ISP's strategies and algorithms. Improve image enhancement, Gamma and noise reduction effects.

Add new functions, such as the RAWLut configuration, image brightness, contrast and local contrast enhancement.

1.8 Interface Roseek_ImageAcquisition_SetResolutionEx add option full resolution mode CT_RESOLUTION_MODE_ALLPIXEL.

1.9 Improve the watchdog internal logic and solve the problem that the watchdog cannot work normally when the device cannot be opened.

1.10 Improve JPEG codec module "RSJpegUtil.dll". Use the SSE2 and other CPU optimization. The efficiency is improved about 4 times.

After Measure, 200W pixel image compression takes 32 milliseconds, 500W pixel image compression takes 63 milliseconds, 800W pixel image compression takes 99 milliseconds.

1.11 H264 encoding library adds the interface Roseek_MediaEncoder_SetScaleMode. When the source resolution and the target resolution are different,

The way to control the image scaling can be chosen to keep the image proportion or to stretch the image without a black border.

1.12 For the OSD module, modify the BUG that the font width of monospace font may be unequal width, and improve the auto-wrap logic.

1.13 Add a new document "Cheetah1 Series Smart Camera - Development Manual". Replace old documents "Cheetah1 Series Smart Camera - API Instructions" and "Cheetah1 Series Smart Camera - Development Guide".

The new document provides a richer and better explanation for development in Cheetah1.

2. Updating Steps
