Feb 1, 2026February 2026 delivered a major architectural shift to numpy-based data flows in the momentum geometry stack, enabling faster forward computation and eliminating a PyTorch dependency in geometry. The release introduces advanced camera modeling (OpenCV fisheye) with FOV validation, a robust camera intrinsics parameter transform infrastructure, and expanded Python bindings for solver components, enabling more flexible experimentation and rapid iteration. SDF-based collision and constraint tooling was extended with VertexSDFErrorFunction, CameraProjectionErrorFunction, and Python bindings, broadening safety checks and optimization capabilities. Performance, reliability, and maintainability were enhanced via aligned memory for ResizeableMatrix, GIL release around heavy pybind operations, and targeted fixes for stability and consistency across geometry tests. Overall, these changes deliver faster, more accurate camera/geometry modeling, richer solver constraints, and streamlined Python integration to accelerate product and research outcomes.
