Rust version 0.14.0

• Significantly improved performance of high performance GPUs (M1, Geforce RTX)
• Added a low-power GPU mode to prevent device lost errors in integrated Intel GPUs
• Fixed fundamental matric in perspective projection - resulting in a significant improvement in quality
• For OBJ and PLY files, it's possible to assign point colors from the source image
• For OBJ files, it's now possible to use texture from the source image

Rust version 0.13.2

Improved GPU performance.

Rust version 0.13.1

Fixed a few performance issues:

• Unnecessary calls to GPU
• Writing *.ply and *.obj files is significantly faster

Rust version 0.13.0

Rewrote code from C to Rust. This rewrite helped discovering and fixing several bugs, and also improved maintainability:

• Replaced CLAPACK/OpenBLAS (Windows and Linux) and Accelerate (macOS) with nalgebra.
  • This removes tricky C/ASM/Fortran code that's impossible to troubleshoot.
  • Most loops are now unrolled, and there are almost no conversions when multiplying matrices.
  • Inlining functions also improves performance.
• Rewrote FAST into Rust, in a parallelized way (slower than the C version, but runs faster on multi-core CPUs).
• Replaced Vulkan/Metal with wgpu; the same codebase can target Vulkan, Metal or DirectX 12 - whatever is available.
• Almost all Rust libraries are provided in source form, so the compiler/linker can exclude unused code.

C version 0.12.0

Fixed a few bugs that were discovered during the rewrite into Rust.

C version 0.11.0

• Significantly improved accuracy of perspective reconstruction by using the "Gold standard" algorithm.
• Remove noisy data from images with perspective projection.

C version 0.10.0

A few tweaks and precision improvements:

• Histogram filter to remove peaks - greatly improves results for SEM images
• A few (failed) attempts to reconstruct photos with perspective projection
  • Perspective projection is a lot more sensitive to noise and requires additional steps to recover fundamental matrix

C version 0.9.0

Changed the way correlation works - now using a fundamental matrix, which significantly improves accuracy and also allows reconstruction of normal photos (using perspective projection instead of parallel projection).

• Fixed a bug where number of point matches is incorrectly counted
• Fixed colormap rendering in PNG images
• Changed colormap to Viridis

With this release, images 2 and 3 fail to be reconstructed - because the point matching and accuracy standards have been raised.
However now most photos produce more realistic results, and image 05 can now be reconstructed.

C version 0.8.1

• Removed IDW interpolation (slow, unsatisfactory results)
• Switched to PThreads4W in Windows (it's used by other libraries and is already included anyway)

C version 0.8.0

• Significantly improved CPU-only performance
• Added option to use Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation
• Allow to output results without interpolation
