- Implementation of H.265 video encoding and initial compatibility with MIPI cameras.
- Enhanced tracking functionalities across all hardware platforms, which improve performance during extended occlusions, allow for sub-pixel track location, and enable adjustments to track box sizes for various use cases.
- refinements in classification for both the 3000-OEM and 4000-OEM processors, including the separation of classifier sensitivity from detection sensitivity, the ability to operate the classifier without filtering tracks, and improved tracking stability for drones that momentarily halt.
