New Vizy release (0.2.130)

[edge]

Hi everyone!
Hope all’s well out there. We’ve been busy little software elves lately, adding several improvements to Vizy’s software:

• Bird Feeder impovements: we added more contextual pictures to the CNN model to reduce the false positive detections. We also added the ability to share your pictures with us so we can improve the accuracy of future versions.
• MotionScope improvements: We added the ability to selectively hide objects, and we added project import and export so you can share your MotionScope projects with others and vice-versa. You can give it a quick try by following the import docs here.
• Teach Vizy to detect anything: Object Detector can now guide you through the process of creating your own CNN detection networks. Creating your own CNN is typically a lengthy process, but you can create a custom detection network in a few minutes with the help of Google Colab’s servers, which perform the training of the CNNs. The Object Detector app makes the entire process seamless!
  
  
  You can also import and export projects so you can share your CNN efforts with others and vice-versa. You can give it a quick try by following the import docs here.

Updating your Vizy’s software is easy!

As always, let us know your thoughts and suggestions

The update removed the app that I’d been working on from the /home/pi/vizy/examples/ directory. I was a bit terrified because I didn’t have backups. I then found that you’d made a copy of the /home/pi/vizy/ directory in ~/vizy.bak and recovered from there, but it’d be nice to have known that in advance or better yet not to have modified directories that aren’t part of the distribution.

Hello,
Thank you for the feedback. You’re saying that you would have preferred that the code you were working on in the vizy directory stayed in place and the new code was installed around it?

Yes, I think so. I had created a new directory for my app under ~/vizy/examples and that directory would not have interfered with the installation or operation of any of the default apps or examples so there was no reason IMO to remove my app’s directory.

I understand. Thanks!
