Unreleased
Upgrade Notes
Known Issues
Added
The user can now choose the base folder location to store their generated datasets.
Added the AssetSource class for loading assets from generic sources inside randomizers.
Users can now choose the base folder location to store their generated datasets.
Added a projection field in the capture.sensor metadata. Values are either "perspective" or "orthographic".
Users can now delay the current iteration for one frame from within randomizers by calling the DelayIteration function of the active scenario.
Changed
Changed the JSON serialization key of Normal Sampler's standard deviation property from "standardDeviation" to "stddev". Scneario JSON configurations that were generated using previous versions will need to be manually updated to reflect this change.
Deprecated
Removed
Fixed
Fixed an indexing issue with the IdLabelConfig editor. When a new label was added to an empty Id Label Config with Auto Assign IDs enabled, the starting id (0 or 1) was ignored and the new label would always have an id of 0.
[0.8.0-preview.4] - 2021-07-05
Upgrade Notes
Known Issues
When using URP in OSX, having MSAA enabled on the camera while the post-processing option is disabled may cause the output RGB images to be blank. As a workaround, you can disable MSAA and use FXAA instead, until the issue is fixed.
Added
Added support for 'step' button in editor.
Added random seed field to the Run in Unity Simulation Window.
Changed
Increased color variety in instance segmentation images.
The PoissonDiskSampling utility now samples a larger region of points to then crop to size of the intended region to prevent edge case bias.
Upgraded capture package dependency to 0.0.10-preview.23 to fix two issues: (1) Post processing effects were not included when capturing images in URP (2) RGB images were upside-down when post processing effects were enabled and FXAA disabled.
Deprecated
Removed
Fixed
Fixed keypoint labeling bug when visualizations are disabled.
Fixed an issue where Simulation Delta Time values larger than 100 seconds in Perception Camera would cause incorrect capture scheduling behavior.
Fixed an issue where Categorical Parameters sometimes tried to fetch items at i = categories.Count, which caused an exception.
[0.8.0-preview.3] - 2021-03-24
Changed
Expanded documentation on the Keypoint Labeler Updated Keypoint Labeler logic to only report keypoints for visible objects by default Increased color variety in instance segmentation images
Fixed
Fixed compiler warnings in projects with HDRP on 2020.1 and later
Fixed a bug in the Normal Sampler where it would return values less than the passed in minimum value, or greater than the passed in maximum value, for random values very close to 0 or 1 respectively.
[0.8.0-preview.2] - 2021-03-15
Upgrade Notes
All appearances of the term KeyPoint have been renamed to Keypoint. If you have code that relies on any renamed types or names, make sure to alter your code to reflect the new names.
ScenarioBase's Awake(), Start(), and Update() functions are now private. If you previously used these, replace the usages with OnAwake(), OnStart(), and OnUpdate().
The interface IGroundTruthGenerator now contains a new method named ClearMaterialProperties for disabling ground truth generation on a Labeling component or its associated MaterialPropertyBlock. Update your implementing classes to including this method.
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(), OnUpdate(), 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 states.
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.
The newly added LabelManager class now enables custom Labelers to access the list of registered Labeling Components present in the Scene.
Improved UI for KeypointTemplate and added useful default colors for keypoint and skeleton definitions.
Added the ability to switch ground truth generation on or off for an object at runtime by enabling or disabling its Labeling component. A new method named ClearMaterialProperties() in IGroundTruthGenerator handles this functionality.
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 in Unity Simulation window UI.
The Run in Unity Simulation window now accepts an optional Scenario JSON configuration to override existing Scenario editor UI settings.
The GetRandomizer() and CreateRandomizer() methods of ScenarioBase have been augmented or replaced with more generic list index style accessors.
The Scenario inspector buttons for serialization and deserialization have been refactored to open a file explorer so that the user can choose where to save the generated JSON configuration or which file to import a configuration from.
RandomizerTags now use OnEnable() and OnDisable() to manage their lifecycle. This allows the user to toggle them on and off in the editor.
Upgraded com.unity.simulation.capture package dependency to integrate new changes that prevent the API updater from looping infinitely when opening the project settings window on new URP projects.
CameraLabeler methods OnBeginRendering() and OnEndRendering() now have an added ScriptableRenderContext parameter.
Deprecated
The Randomizer methods OnCreate(), OnStartRunning(), and OnStopRunning() are now deprecated and have been replaced with OnAwake(), OnEnable() and OnDisable() respectively, so as to better reflect the existing MonoBehaviour lifecycle methods.
Removed
Removed the Entities package dependency.
Fixed
Fixed a null reference error that appeared when adding options to Categorical Parameters.
Fixed ground truth not properly being produced when there are other disabled PerceptionCameras present. Note: this does not yet add support for multiple enabled PerceptionCameras.
Fixed an exception when rendering inspector for Randomizers with private serialized fields.
Fixed an issue preventing the 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 to the existing 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 in which an object is visible.
Fixed an out of range error that occurred when a keypoint template skeleton relied on a joint that was not available.
Fixed wrong labels on 2d bounding boxes when all labeled objects are deleted in a frame.
[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.
