Release Notes 5.9

This section lists the new functionality, improvements and some of the major changes related to DEEPCRAFT™ Studio.

New Features and Enhancements

Improving timeline performance when recording many features or using high sample rate

When streaming data from sensors or development kits into DEEPCRAFT™ Studio, the timeline may become slow or laggy if one or more tracks contain many features and/or use a high sample rate. To improve timeline performance during recording, hide the affected track by clicking the eye icon next to the track name. Hiding a track disables timeline plotting for that track but continues streaming and recording data in the background. Click the eye icon again to unhide the track and view the plotted data after you stop recording. This workaround is especially useful when streaming high-rate data, such as radar data.

Search and add nodes onto the canvas from Node Explorer

You can now search the nodes directly in the Node Explorer. In addition to searching nodes on the canvas, use the Node Explorer search box to find a node, then drag and drop the node from the search results onto the canvas.

Train your object detection models using YOLOv8n architecture

Train object detection models on custom data in the DEEPCRAFT™ Studio using the lightweight and efficient Ultralytics YOLOv8n architecture. YOLOv8n uses architectural improvements such as an anchor-free detection head and provides a strong balance between speed and accuracy, making it suitable for a wide range of deployment scenarios. For step-by-step instructions on training an object detection model with YOLOv8, refer to Training Object Detection Model.
