Updates 2018/04/20

Spent a lot of time trying to get things working with Java 9. The usual backwards compatibility mantra got a serious beating with Java 9. ADAMS now compiles with Java 9, but I still recommend to stick with Java 8 for a while.

Futhermore, there is now a separate module for ffmpeg called adams-ffmpeg, rather than being tucked away in the adams-video module. In addition to that, I added an experimental module for audio processing called adams-audio.

Fixes

  • Now compiles with Java 9.

  • Auto-registering of flows now registers after the flow ID has been initialized rather than with 0.

  • adams-imaging:

    • The draw operations ObjectCentersFromReport and ObjectLocationsFromReport now use the user-specified font.

    • The image overlays ObjectCentersOverlayFromReport and ObjectLocationsOverlayFromReport now use the user-specified font.

Changes

  • Upgraded sizeofag to 1.0.2.

  • Upgraded jclasslocator to 0.0.10.

  • Removed archetype module.

  • Added keyboard shortcuts to the Flow editor for bringing up the actor tree to search for an actor to insert, skips the GOE dialog: Ctrl+J (here), Ctrl+Alt+J (after), Ctrl+Shift+J (beneath)

  • adams-spectral-2dim-core: The Evaluator transformer now allows to turn off

    cloning of container storing the evaluation results.

  • adams-webservices: updated Apache CXF to 3.2.4 to make it compile with Java 9 (10 doesn't work yet, but the upcoming 3.2.5 release has a fix for that).

  • adams-meka: Upgraded to MEKA 1.9.2.

  • adams-imaging:

    • The draw operations ObjectCentersFromReport and ObjectLocationsFromReport now offer x/y offsets for the label.

    • The image overlays ObjectCentersOverlayFromReport and ObjectLocationsOverlayFromReport now offer x/y offsets for the label.

    • ImageObjectInfo now allows to output the INDEX_STRING and INDEX_INT as well.

Additions

  • Added support for publish/subscribe: InitPublishSubscribe standalone for initializing pub/sub data structure in storage and the Publish sink for broadcasting the data to all the subscribers of the specified pub/sub data structure.

  • Added platform specific file-in-use checks: Windows and NonWindows (Default combines both).

  • Added the JsonObjectToMap conversion to turn a JSON object into a simple map.

  • Added the ExtractSimpleContainerContent conversion to retrieve the content of simple containers.

  • Added the Go to menu item to the Flow editor popup menu, which allows you to jump to the reference actor (eg a callable actor).

  • adams-rats:

    • added support for using sockets for sending and receiving data, aptly named Socket for input and output (adams-rats-sockets.flow).

    • added support for publish/subscribe with Subscribe rat input and Publish rat output. Simpler and more efficient than queues for notifying multiple Rat actors at once.

    • added Django web application for remote control of Rat actors that are available through the RatControl actor, using a REST webservice for communication.

  • adams-weka: The SocketFacade meta-classifier communicates via sockets with a prediction scheme, can be used to interface with any programming language as long as communication occurs via sockets.

  • adams-imaging:

    • added BasicStatistics feature generator (for buffered images).

  • adams-audio: new module for some basic audio processing of WAV files, generating spectrograms (as image or tabular data).

  • added separate adams-ffmpeg module, to make ffmpeg functionality available in adams-audio and adams-video.

  • adams-ml: added basic framework for calculating summary statistics with the SummaryStatistics transformer.

  • adams-spectral-2dim-core: added the SimpleSpectralInstanceGenerator instances generator, which does not output a class attribute in the generated Weka Instances object.
