  Core

  - Splitting ITransform into ITransform and ICovariantTransform (to support generic covariance);

  Video.FFMPEG

  • Standardizing the C++ projects to depend on VS2015 runtime instead of VS2017 to keep compatibility with VS2015;

  • Adding a IAudioFeatureExtractor interface (akin to the IImageFeatureExtractor for Accord.Imaging);
  • Adding a Mono filter to convert multi-channel audio signals into single channel (mono) signals;
  • Adding a Signal.FromFile() method to load audio signals from file similarly to Bitmap.FromFile();

  - Adding an AudioDecoder class akin to ImageDecoder to find audio format decoders based on file extension;

  Audition

  - Adding BagOfAudioWords class to compute bag-of-word representations from audio signals;

  Imaging

  • Adding support for decoding PNM files in format P2 and P3 (besides the already supported P5 and P6);

  • Updating the color classes (RGB, HSL, YCbCr) to be structs;
  • Adding conversion operators between different color classes;
  • Updating ImageDecoder to find decoders using reflection instead of manual registration;
  • Updating the feature extraction framelet to implement the ITransform interfaces and deprecating IFeatureDetector;
  • Updating all feature descriptors to be classes rather than structs so the generics covariance can work;
  • Integrating AForge.NET's texture generation classes: Adding a base class for texture
    ⚡️ generation methods, updating them to use the framework-wide random number generator,
    🗄 and deprecating their Reset method;

  DataSets:

  - Adding the Servo dataset as an example of a mixed discrete/continuous dataset for regression;

  Math

  • Adding a methods for the numerical calculation of the Hessian in the FiniteDifferences class;
  • Updating Vector.Interval and Vector.Range to behave similar to NumPy's linspance and arange functions;
  • Adding new overloads in element-wise operations that accept a VectorType enumeration instead
    of a integer for specifying to which dimension the element-wise operation should be performed;

  - Updating the Digamma and Trigamma functions to handle negative values;

  MachineLearning

  • Updating the AdaBoost classes to implement the more recent classification framelet;
  • Adding a Error property in ConfusionMatrix and GeneralConfusionMatrix (1.0 - Accuracy);
  • Adding named constructors to ConfusionMatrix to create matrices
    directly from classifiers, their inputs and expected outputs;
  • Adding a new IsColor8bpp extension method to detect whether an 8-bpp image is a color image (non-grayscale);
  • Adding a new ConvertColor8bppToGrayscale8bpp extension methods to convert these into grayscale 8-bpp images;
  • Fixing Codification filter transformation for DataTables when only some columns should be converted;
  • NumberOfOutputs and NumberOfSymbols should have different implementations depending on the variable type;
  • Enforcing alphabetical/default sorted order for symbols in Codification filter (this is a breaking change);

  - Codification filter should now transform columns in the same order as specified by the user;

  Statistics

  - Adding exponentially weighted moving average (ewma) methods in Statistics.Measures partial classes;

  Sample applications

  • Adding a new sample application demonstrating how to use the framework in Unity 3D.
