VisionDepth3Dv3.7 - Release

VisionDepth3D v3.7 –Release Changelog

---

1) Live 3D Capture Overhaul

Live 3D Capture received a full stability and quality pass.

What is new:

• Optional live audio passthrough for external capture devices, with device selection and audio delay control.
• Audio routed through DirectShow and WASAPI, with an FFplay based monitor for low latency listening.
• Color channel controls to fix purple and red tint issues on some capture cards.
• Tuning for real time depth inference so Live Capture can run at practical frame rates on 1080p HDMI sources.
• A headless mode (--no-preview) so you can run capture without a local preview window.
• Early groundwork for browser based SBS VR streaming with synchronized audio and video.

What is fixed:

• GUI settings (resolution, backend, FPS and more) are now correctly applied when starting Live Capture from the UI.
• Capture failures like “no frames arriving” are resolved by enforcing the correct fourcc and backend.
• Audio is now present in Live Capture sessions instead of silent output.
• Frame pacing is smoother and depth plus stereo warp no longer hit the same FPS bottlenecks as before.

---

2) Floating Window, Depth Stability and Black Bar Handling

The stereo presentation pipeline has been tightened up for more comfortable 3D.

Dynamic Floating Window (DFW):

• Rebuilt the floating window logic so it masks only one edge at a time, based on the dominant parallax direction.
• Adds a minimum parallax threshold so the window stays off when depth is near the screen plane.
• Uses temporal smoothing and easing so the window glides in and out instead of popping or flickering.
• Supports both soft faded edges and solid black cinema bars through a single toggle.

Result: fewer edge violations, a cleaner frame in VR and on monitors, and a more cinema friendly presentation.

Frame jitter and temporal stability:

• Fixed depth “breathing” where scenes would appear to move in and out over time.
• Introduced several smoothing passes over subject depth, depth percentiles and convergence.
• Added a global parallax smoother for foreground, midground and background layers.

Result: more stable parallax over time, less shimmer and a more comfortable stereo experience.

Auto crop for black bars:

• Improved black bar detection during fades and dark transitions.
• Added guards so detection does not update on very dark frames.
• Handles changes in letterbox height without vertical drift.

Result: 2.35:1 and similar letterboxed content now auto crops in a reliable and repeatable way.

---

3) Unified Depth Pipeline and Platform Support

The Depth tab has been upgraded into a unified, cross platform pipeline.

Multi backend support (CUDA, ROCm, MPS, CPU):

• Device detection has been rewritten so CUDA is no longer assumed by default.
• The app now picks the best available backend automatically.

Supported depth backends:

• CUDA on NVIDIA GPUs
• ROCm on AMD GPUs
• MPS on Apple Silicon
• CPU fallback when no GPU is present

This prevents crashes on AMD and macOS, avoids accidental CPU only runs on capable GPUs, and lays the foundations for Linux builds.

Codec selection for depth exports:

• The Depth tab now has a Video Codec dropdown.
• You can select from hardware encoders (NVENC, AMF, QSV) as well as CPU encoders (libx264, libx265, AV1, and legacy MPEG-4 variants).
• XVID and other problematic codecs now have safer defaults and better behavior on non NVIDIA systems.
• AV1 has guard rails where OpenCV decoding is limited, with warnings where needed.
• Codec support is now aligned with the 3D Converter and FrameTools.

Depth pipeline control:

• Depth renders now support Pause, Resume and Cancel.
• Pauses release resources more safely and cancels avoid corrupt output files.
• Clear status states show when a job is running, paused, canceling or completed.

---

4) 3D Pipeline and UX Polish

The main 3D converter pipeline has been cleaned up and extended.

• New Keep Original Audio option to pass through source audio into the final 3D export without re encoding.
• New image based 3D pipeline that runs through the same renderer, ideal for single frame 3D stills.
• Mode selector is now wired to switch cleanly between Single, Batch and Image workflows inside the same UI.
• A 3D filename suffix system automatically labels exports by format and eye mode
  (examples: _LRF_Full_SBS, _LRF_Half_SBS, _VR, _Anaglyph, _Interlaced, _LRF_Left, _LRF_Right).
• Multi language labels and tooltips across the app have been reviewed and cleaned up.

---

5) Depth Blender Preview

The Depth Blender tab has been upgraded into a more visual tool.

• Live preview now shows the base V2 depth map and the blended result side by side.
• All blend parameters (white strength, feather blur, CLAHE, bilateral filters) update the preview in real time.
• A frame scrubber lets you move through frames in a sequence and see how the blend behaves across time, before running a full batch on folders or videos.

---

Summary

VisionDepth3D v3.7 focuses on stability, cross platform support and workflow quality.

• Live 3D Capture is more stable, more accurate and closer to being stream ready.
• The stereo pipeline has better temporal behavior and cleaner edges.
• The Depth tab now runs on NVIDIA, AMD ROCm, Apple Silicon and CPU only setups with flexible codecs and playback options.
• The 3D converter and Depth Blender both gained quality of life improvements that make it easier to preview, tune and export 3D content.

These changes set the stage for future Linux builds, more advanced streaming paths and additional 3D presets in upcoming releases.
