<h1>Migration from older versions</h1>
<p>Visage Technologies strives to minimize changes in API and configuration files when releasing new versions of the SDK. The inevitable changes are listed here together with specific instructions for developers who have existing applications built with older versions.</p>
<h2>Changes in this release</h2>
<p>This section covers all changes introduced in all releases since 9.0.</p>
<h3>Landmark detection changes:</h3>
<i>Additional lips landmarks</i>
<ul><li>16 additional lips landmarks contained in the <b>group 17</b> (17.5-17.20) are <b>added as part of the extended lips landmarks improvements</b>.
</li></ul>For more details please see <a href="FDP.html" target="_blank">FDP</a> documentation.</ul>
<h3>Changes in configuration file:</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>enable_smoothing</b> configuration parameter added. Controls whether the tracker output is smoothed with the
smoothing_factors parameter or not.
<ul>
<li>Value 0 - Tracker outputs are not smoothed.</li>
<li>Value 1 - Tracker outputs are smoothed.</li>
</ul></li>
<br />
<li>
<b>temporally_denoise_input</b> configuration parameter added. Controls whether the input frames are denoised in the time domain.
This parameter is used to minimize noise (such as small variations in the light or electrical noise coming from the camera) in the input images to increase feature point stability and precision.
<ul>
<li>Value 0 - The input frame stream is not denoised.</li>
<li>Value 1 - The input frame stream is denoised.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Sample changes:</h3>
Due to native <i>FaceData API</i> and <i>VisageFaceAnalyser API</i> changes, <a href="module-VisageTrackerUnityPlugin.html" target="_blank"> VisageTrackerUnityPlugin API</a> and <a href="module-VisageAnalyserUnityPlugin.html" target="_blank"> VisageAnalyserUnityPlugin API</a> were updated accordingly.
<p><i>ShowcaseDemo</i> and <i>VisageTrackerUnityDemo</i>:</p>
Newly introduced face analysis functions, <i>analyseStream()</i> and <i>resetStreamAnalysis()</i>, are used to perform face analysis, thus replacing previously used estimation functions and in-app filtering.
<br><br>
<h2>visage|SDK 8.8</h2>
<h3>General:</h3>
<p><i>Face tracking and detection algorithms</i></p>
<p>The default legacy algorithm that could be allowed via the <i>use_vnn</i> configuration parameter (value 0) has been removed.
The VNN algorithm is now the default and only tracking and detection algorithm.<br><br>
The algorithm can be configured to improve feature points precision and robustness,
over tracking speed (performance) by setting the <i>refine_landmarks</i> parameter to 1 in the configuration file.
Otherwise, when performance is preferred over feature points precision, the recommendation is to disable <i>refine_landmarks</i> parameter by setting it to 0 in the configuration file.</p>
<p><i>Face tracking and detection with protection masks</i></p>
<p>Face tracking and detection algorithms are enhanced so that they can track and detect faces wearing protective masks of various colors and patterns.</p>
<h3>Landmark detection changes:</h3>
<i>Contour landmarks</i>
<ul><li>Visible contour landmarks from <b>group 13</b> (13.1-13.17) are <b>no longer available</b> (not detected or estimated).
Instead, contour landmarks are now provided only in the form of a physical contour within <b>group 15</b> (15.1-15.17).
For more details please see <a href="FDP.html" target="_blank">FDP</a> documentation.</ul>
Changing the detection of contour points from visible to physical results in improved stability and accuracy of the 3D head-pose estimation.
<h3>Library changes:</h3>
<p><i>VisageTrackerUnityPlugin and VisageAnalyserUnityPlugin</i></p>
<p>Renaming <b>unityInstance</b> to <b>unityGame</b>:
<ul>
<li>Since <i>unityInstance</i> is no longer globally available as it became Promise, the resolved instance of Promise is expected to be assigned
to the global variable called <i>unityGame</i> in the generated main application <i>index.html</i> file and as such used within the plugin libraries.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h3>API changes:</h3>
Introducing new FaceData class member for getting the rotation of the face from the camera viewpoint:

</p>
<h3>API changes:</h3>
<i>Copyless data</i>
</br></br>
All function that have returned copies of their values in form of Array, VectorInt or VectorFloat are now returning TypedArray. This change refers to
<a href="VisageTracker.html#track">track()</a> function, <a href="FDP.html#getFPPos">getFPPos()</a> function and most of <a href="FaceData.html">FaceData</a> members.
</br></br>

<li><a href="FaceData.html#serializeAnalysis">serializeAnalysis()</a>/<a href="FaceData.html#deserializeAnalysis">deserializeAnalysis()</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>visage|SDK 8.4</h2>
<h3>API changes:</h3>
<i>Webassembly format</i>
</br></br>
Default visage|SDK library is in WebAssembly format, thus it comes in two file format: visageSDK.js and visageSDK.wasm. Main file is visageSDK.js and can be located independently of
the main .html file, while the visageSDK.wasm file depends on visageSDK.js file and is expected to be located at the same folder as the main .html file. </br>
The location of visageSDK.wasm file can be changed, which entails changing the location of the .data files
(visageSDK.data, visageAnalysisData.data, visageRecognitionData.data) to the same folder.
An example can be found at the link: <a href="VisageTracker.html#changeLocation">Changing the location of the .data file</a>.</br>
To use WebAssembly, MIME type for .wasm file has to be added in .htaccess file on web server as follows (see <a href="index_api.html#webassembly">MIME type</a>):
<ul>
<pre class="prettyprint source"><code>
AddType application/wasm .wasm
</code>
</ul>
</br>
<i>Asynchronous data load</i>
</br>
<p>visage|SDK library has been modified to be completely asynchronous. As a result certain .data files need to be preloaded by calling <a href="showcase.html#preloadFile">FS_createPreloadedFile()</a> function.
The change refers to license and configuration files. Note, that the FS_createPreloadedFile() function must be called after visageSDK.js script is loaded, but before the .data is
completely downloaded (see <a href="VisageTracker.html#changeLocation">Changing the location of the .data file</a> example).</p>
</br></br>
<i>Change the name of the Module</i>
</br></br>
Main visage|SDK module renamed from Module to VisageModule in <i>visageAnalysisData.js</i> and <i>visageRecognitionData.js</i> scripts to improve compatilibity with other libararies and software (for example Unity).</br>
In case of using FaceAnalysis or FaceRecognition it is necessary to call Module <b>VisageModule</b> and as such use it in the code.
<ul>
<pre class="prettyprint source"><code>
&lt;script src="../../lib/visageSDK.js">&lt;/script>
&lt;script>
<b>VisageModule </b>= VisageModule({onRuntimeInitialized: onModuleInitialized});
var preloadFiles = function() {
<b>VisageModule</b>.FS_createPreloadedFile('/', 'Head Tracker.cfg', "../../lib/Head Tracker.cfg", true, false);
<b>VisageModule</b>.FS_createPreloadedFile('/', licenseName, licenseURL, true, false);
};
<b>VisageModule</b>.preRun.push(preloadFiles);
&lt;/script>
</code></pre>
</ul>
</br>
<i>visageAR</i>
</br>
<p>The order of applying rotations on the glasses 3D objects has been fixed to be equal to the tracker's (see <a href="FaceData.html#getFaceRotation">getFaceRotation</a>) which is 'YXZ'.</p>
<h3>Sample changes:</h3>
<p>FaceDetector and FaceTracker samples have been removed from visage|SDK HTML5 package.</p>
<i>VisageTrackerUnityPlugin</i></br>
<p>VisageTrackerUnityPlugin was updated so it includes all FaceTrack (including multiple face tracking) and FaceAnalysis functions.</br>
The plugin is devided into two files: VisageTrackerUnityPlugin.jslib and VisageAnalyserUnityPlugin.jslib, both file can be found in www/lib folder. </br>

<h2>visage|SDK 8.3.5959</h2>
<h3>General changes:</h3>
<p>Module object renamed to <b>VisageModule</b>. Automatic initialization and data download has been deprecated. In order to properly
initialize VisageModule object and start visageSDK data download, VisageModule object needs to be initialized manually. </p>
Following code demonstrates:
<ul>
<li>how to initialize VisageModule object</li>
<li>where to place the initialization code (after the script tag that loads visageSDK.js)</li>
<li>how to pass the callback function (onModuleInitialized) to the VisageModule object that will be triggered when data has been downloaded and VisageModule initialized</li>
<li>wrapping VisageModule in <i>Module</i> variable so the sample is compatible with previous releases
</ul>
<pre>
&lt;script src="../../lib/visageSDK.js"></script>
<b/>&lt;script>
var Module = VisageModule({onRuntimeInitialized: onModuleInitialized})
&lt;/script>
</b>
</pre>
See additional examples within sample application code and in the API documentation (API->VisageTracker->Changing the location of the .data file section).
<h3>Landmark detection changes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Eyebrows (group 4) detection locations have been changed to the <b>upper contour of the eyebrow</b> to conform more closely to MPEG-4 standard</li>
<li>Nose (group 9) facial landmarks <b>9.1</b> and <b>9.2</b> are no longer detected. Instead, facial landmarks <b>9.5</b> and <b>9.4</b> are detected and <b>9.1</b> and <b>9.2</b> are estimated from the fitted 3D model.</li>
<li>Nose contour has been added (<b>group 14, points 21 - 25</b>)</li>
</ul>
For detailed illustration see <a href="images/mpeg-4_fba.png" target="_blank">MPEG-4 FBA</a>.
<h3>Changes in configuration file:</h3>

<h3>Sample changes:</h3>
<p>Due to compiler update to emscripten v1.35, HTML5 samples using visage|SDK must have additional code added to your application main
.html file. The additional code must be
located inside of the script tag and included before the script tag loading visageSDK.js library. Example:
<pre>
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
var Module =
{
onRuntimeInitialized: function()
{
onModuleInitialized();
}
};
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="../../lib/visageSDK.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
Emscripten functions that use Module object such as
<pre>Module._malloc</pre>
