API changes

  • Type of mask paths in the mask map parameters of mesh.gen_mesh_geometry() and dense.densification() changed from str to os.PathLike. This change is backwards compatible.

  • Type of mask paths in the mask map returned by skyseg.gen_segment_masks() changed from str to pathlib.Path.

  • Type of output directory parameter of skyseg.gen_segment_masks() changed from str to os.PathLike. This change is backwards compatible.

  • pix4dvortex.io function parameters representing paths changed from str to os.PathLike. This change is backwards compatible.

  • pix4dvortex.proc.Resources.work_dir property is now represented as os.PathLike instead of str on set, which is backward compatible, and as pathlib.Path instead of str on get.

  • pix4dvortex.dmodel.io function parameters representing paths changed from str to os.PathLike. This change is backwards compatible.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug in site calibration by which calibrations with big coordinates could end up with the site system up-side down.
