What's New
Version 1.02 Released
February, 2017Significant changes in version 1.02 include:
-
Added a new profile
PosedCollection
and elements forMesh
andNavigationalConnectivity
to support a Streetview-style use case (collections of posed panorama images and scene geometry).
Version 1.01 Released
May 27, 2016Significant changes in version 1.01 include:
-
Added a new
Profile
element for describing the intended use case of the container image with the XDM metadata. For example, the XDM metadata for a depth photo is structurally different from that for a virtual reality photo. This element allows an image reader to quickly identify the media type without having to parse all the metadata, and identify the intended usage of each camera listed in theCameraIndices
list. -
Added an
EquirectModel
to support rendering for equirectangular panoramas. -
Added a
FisheyeModel
to support rendering for equirectangular panoramas. -
Added
Audio
fields (data and media type) toCamera
that represent an audio track. An example use case is recording audio with an image, such as with virtual reality photography. -
Deprecated the
ContainerSignature
field inDevice
, originally intended as a required field for detecting whether or not a container image was edited by a non-XDM-aware app. Computation of the signature is non-trivial, and therefore not likely to be universally implemented. -
Added a
LensDistortionType
field toPerspectiveModel
, to support other distortion models such as that for a fisheye lens. -
Added a
Timestamp
field toDevicePose
. This simplifies the access to global capture time information without having to search for a particularCamera
.
