Unreleased
Upgrade Notes
All appearances of the term KeyPoint have been renamed to Keypoint. Therefore, after upgrading to this version, if you have code that relies on any renamed types or names, make sure to alter your code to reflect the new names.
Known Issues
Added
Added error message when missing Randomizer scripts are detected
Scenario serialization has been updated to include scalar values on randomizers and parameters.
Added new ScenarioBase virtual lifecycle hooks: OnAwake, OnStart, OnComplete, and OnIdle.
Keypoint occlusion has been added, no keypoint information will be recorded for a labeled asset completely out of the camera's frustum.
New keypoint tests have been added to test keypoint state.
The color of keypoints and connections are now reported in the annotation definition json file for keypoint templates.
The PerceptionScenario abstract class has been added to abstract perception data capture specific functionality from the vanilla scenario lifecycle.
Improved UI for KeypointTemplate and added useful default colors for keypoint and skeleton definitions.
Changed
Renamed all appearances of the term KeyPoint within types and names to Keypoint.
ScenarioBase's Awake, Start, and Update methods are now private. The newly added virtual lifecycle hooks are to be used as replacements.
Improved Run Unity Simulation window UI.
The Run Unity Simulation window now accepts option scenario JSON configurations to override existing scenario editor settings.
ScenarioBase's Get and Create randomizer methods have been augmented or replaced with more generic list index style accessors.
The scenario inspector buttons serialize and deserialize have been refactored to open a file explorer generate and import JSON configurations.
Randomizer tags now use OnEnable and OnDisable to manage lifecycle. This allows the user to toggle them on and off in the editor.
The randomizer methods OnCreate(), OnStartRunning(), and OnStopRunning() are now deprecated and have been replaced with OnAwake(), OnEnable() and OnDisable() respectively to better reflect the existing MonoBehaviour lifecycle methods.
Deprecated
Removed
Fixed
Fixed a null reference error that appeared when adding options to categorical parameters.
Fixed ground truth not properly produced when there are other disabled PerceptionCameras present. Note: this does not yet add support for multiple enabled PerceptionCameras.
Fixed exception when rendering inspector for randomizers with private serialized fields
Fixed an issue preventing a user from adding more options to a Categorical Parameter's list of options with the 'Add Folder' button. 'Add Folder' now correctly appends the contents of the new folder on the list.
Fixed a bug where uniform probabilities were not properly reset upon adding or removing options from a Categorical Parameter's list of options.
Fixed keypoints being reported in wrong locations on the first frame an object is visible.
[0.7.0-preview.2] - 2021-02-08
Upgrade Notes
Known Issues
Added
Added Register() and Unregister() methods to the RandomizerTag API so users can implement RandomizerTag compatible GameObject caching
Changed
Switched accessibility of scenario MonoBehaviour lifecycle functions (Awake, Start, Update) from private to protected to enable users to define their own overrides when deriving the Scenario class.
The GameObjectOneWayCache has been made public for users to cache GameObjects within their own custom Randomizers.
Deprecated
Removed
Fixed
Fixed the math offsetting the iteration index of each Unity Simulation instance directly after they deserialize their app-params.
The RandomizerTagManager now uses a LinkedHashSet data structure to register tags to preserve insertion order determinism in Unity Simulation.
GameObjectOneWayCache now correctly registers and unregisters RandomizerTags on cached GameObjects.
[0.7.0-preview.1] - 2021-02-01
Upgrade Notes
Randomization Namespace Change
The Randomization toolset has been moved out of the Experimental namespace. After upgrading to this version of the Perception package, please follow these steps:
- Replace all references to
UnityEngine.Experimental.Perception.RandomizationwithUnityEngine.Perception.Randomizationin your C# code. - Open your Unity Scene file in a text editor and replace all mentions of
UnityEngine.Experimental.Perception.RandomizationwithUnityEngine.Perception.Randomization, and save the file.
Random Seed Generation
Replace usages of ScenarioBase.GenerateRandomSeed() with SamplerState.NextRandomState() in your custom Randomizer code.
Sampler Ranges
Before upgrading a project to this version of the Perception package, make sure to keep a record of all sampler ranges in your added Randomizers. Due to a change in how sampler ranges are serialized, after upgrading to this version, ranges for all stock Perception samplers (Uniform and Normal Samplers) will be reset, and will need to be manually reverted by the user.
Tag Querying
The RandomizerTagManager.Query<T> function now returns the tag object itself instead of the GameObject it is attached to. You will need to slightly modify your custom Randomizers to accommodate this change. Please refer to the included sample Randomizers as examples.
Known Issues
The bounding box 3D labeler does not work with labeled assets that utilize a skinned mesh renderer. These are commonly used with animated models.
Added
Added keypoint ground truth labeling
Added animation randomization
Added ScenarioConstants base class for all scenario constants objects
Added ScenarioBase.SerializeToConfigFile()
Randomizer tags now support inheritance
Added AnimationCurveSampler, which returns random values according to a range and probability distribution denoted by a user provided AnimationCurve.
Added ParameterUIElementsEditor class to allow custom ScriptableObjects and MonoBehaviours to render Parameter and Sampler typed public fields correctly in their inspector windows.
Added new capture options to Perception Camera:
- Can now render intermediate frames between captures.
- Capture can now be triggered manually using a function call, instead of automatic capturing on a schedule.
Added 3D bounding box visualizer
Categorical Parameters will now validate that their specified options are unique at runtime.
Changed
Randomizers now access their parent scenario through the static activeScenario property.
Unique seeds per Sampler have been replaced with one global random seed configured via the ScenarioConstants of a Scenario
Samplers now derive their random state from the static SamplerState class instead of individual scenarios to allow parameters and samplers to be used outside of the context of a scenario
Replaced ScenarioBase.GenerateRandomSeed() with SamplerState.NextRandomState() and SamplerState.CreateGenerator()
ScenarioBase.Serialize() now directly returns the serialized scenario configuration JSON string instead of writing directly to a file (use SerializeToConfigFile() instead)
ScenarioBase.Serialize() now not only serializes scenario constants, but also all sampler member fields on randomizers attached to the scenario
RandomizerTagManager.Query() now returns RandomizerTags directly instead of the GameObjects attached to said tags
Semantic Segmentation Labeler now places data in folders with randomized filenames.
The uniform toggle on Categorical Parameters will now reset the Parameter's probability weights to be uniform.
Reorganized Perception MonoBehaviour paths within the AddComponentMenu.
Upgraded the Unity Simulation Capture package dependency to 0.0.10-preview.18 and Unity Simulation Core to 0.0.10-preview.22
Deprecated
Removed
Removed ScenarioBase.GenerateRandomSeedFromIndex()
Removed native sampling (through jobs) capability from all samplers and parameters as it introduced additional complexity to the code and was not a common usage pattern
Removed range as a required ISampler interface property.
Removed randomization tooling from the "Experimental" namespace
Fixed
Fixed an issue where the overlay panel would display a full screen semi-transparent image over the entire screen when the overlay panel is disabled in the UI
Fixed a bug in instance segmentation labeler that erroneously logged that object ID 255 was not supported
Fixed the simulation stopping while the editor/player is not focused
Fixed memory leak or crash occurring at the end of long simulations when using BackgroundObjectPlacementRandomizer or ForegroundObjectPlacementRandomizer
Randomizer.OnCreate() is no longer called in edit-mode when adding a randomizer to a scenario
Fixed a bug where removing all randomizers from a scenario caused the randomizer container UI element to overflow over the end of Scenario component UI
Semantic Segmentation Labeler now produces output in the proper form for distributed data generation on Unity Simulation by placing output in randomized directory names
Texture Randomizer is now compatible with HDRP.
Categorical Parameters no longer produce errors when deleting items from long options lists.
Parameter, ISampler, and non-generic Sampler class UIs now render properly in MonoBehaviours and ScriptableObjects.
Fixed an issue in the perception tutorial sample assets where upon the editor being first opened, and a user generates a dataset by clicking the play button, the first generated image has duplicated textures and hue offsets for all background objects. Enabling the "GPU instancing" boolean in the tutorial's sample material's inspector fixed this issue.
[0.6.0-preview.1] - 2020-12-03
Added
Added support for labeling Terrain objects. Trees and details are not labeled but will occlude other objects. Added analytics for Unity Simulation runs
Added instance segmentation labeler.

All-new editor interface for the Labeling component and Label Configuration assets. The new UI improves upon various parts of the label specification and configuration workflow, making it more efficient and less error-prone to setup a new Perception project.
Added Assets->Perception menu for current and future asset preparation and validation tools. Currently contains one function which lets the user create prefabs out of multiple selected models with one click, removing the need for going through all models individually.
Changed
Updated dependencies to com.unity.simulation.capture:0.0.10-preview.14, com.unity.simulation.core:0.0.10-preview.20, and com.unity.burst:1.3.9.

Expanded all Unity Simulation references from USim to Unity Simulation.
Uniform and Normal samplers now serialize their random seeds.
The ScenarioBase's GenerateIterativeRandomSeed() method has been renamed to GenerateRandomSeedFromIndex().
Deprecated
Removed
Fixed

Fixed Unity Simulation nodes generating one extra empty image before generating their share of the randomization scenario iterations.
Fixed enumeration in the CategoricalParameter.categories property.
The GenerateRandomSeedFromIndex method now correctly hashes the current scenario iteration into the random seed it generates.
Corrupted .meta files have been rebuilt and replaced.
The Randomizer list inspector UI now updates appropriately when a user clicks undo.

Removed
Fixed
Fixed 2d bounding boxes being reported for objects that do not match the label config.
Fixed a categorical parameter UI error in which deleting an individual option would successfully remove the option from the UI but only serialize the option to null during serialization instead of removing it
Fixed the "Application Frequency" parameter UI field not initializing to a default value
Fixed the IterateSeed() method where certain combinations of indices and random seeds would produce a random state value of zero, causing Unity.Mathematics.Random to throw an exception
Fixed labeler editor to allow for editing multiple labelers at a time
Fixed labeler editor to ensure that when duplicating prefabs all labeler entries are also duplicated
Fixed colors in semantic segmentation images being darker than those specified in the label config
