We are happy to announce the release of version 1.3 of ARToolKitPlus.
Major changes:
o Dynamic Thresholding
This will automatically update the threshold value due to changing
lighting conditions.
We implemented a very simple method (inspired by Thomas Pintatic's work)
that costs more or less no processing power.
There's a video at
http://studierstube.org/handheld_ar/download/ARToolKitPlus_Autothresholding.avi
showing how it works.
More information on how it works internally can be found on the webpage.
o Installable custom memory manager
Users of ARToolKitPlus can now plugin their own memory handlers.
Note: because of this change, ARToolKitPlus is no longer a pure template
library. Instead it must be compiled to a .lib again (or link
src/MemoryManager.cpp with your project).
o several small bug fixes
