Performance and user experience improvements

This release upgrades our GUI from Qt4 to Qt5 and adds in many helpful features and bug fixes. Chief among those is natively playing videos rather than stitching frames, moving all homography calculation to the server (a local copy was being generated for viewing), and adding more robust error checking. This release also significantly changes our install instructions and scripts. Using miniconda to manage dependencies should result in a much easier to install and run platform.

Independent Cloud Computation

SantosGUI works in full, but performs the full analysis of the video by connecting to a remote server running SantosCloud. SantosGUI currently locally produces only the relevant homography files for viewing of images. The GUI displays test configurations generated by the server locally but does not show any results. Instead it will download them and save them locally in the project directory

This release is the first release which uses SantosCloud to perform the analysis. Our future work will revolve around improving user friendliness and displaying of results/progress.

Local computation

TrafficGUIs works in full, performing the full analysis of the video locally. TrafficGUIs currently produces a database that contains all of the x and y positions, and x and y velocities for all tracked objects. The GUI displays a few simplistic safety metrics, such as counts by type of road user and velocities for types of road users. In addition, the software creates a video which displays the trajectories of tracked objects in real time.

This release is the last release which will use a local installation of TrafficIntelligence to perform the analysis. All future work and releases will interface with our cloud API to perform the analysis.
