Release notes:

v19.1.0 - 2026-05-07

Highlights

• Add new first class citizen V4 CameraLabelsComponent for native camera labels and CameraLabelsProtocol for unified access.

The new component is based on a generic tagged-union label type system, supports array and image-encoded labels, as well as optional quantization and compression for efficient storage.

Migrate Waymo panoptic segmentation to CameraLabelsComponent and add support for visualization in ncore_vis.

Waymo Panoptic Segmentation Label Scannet Depth Map Label

• Enable GPU-based unit tests in the CI using NVIDIA self-hosted runners with Blackwell GPU support, and upgrade PyTorch to 2.7+cu128 for Python 3.11 to ensure compatibility.

• Fix an .itar regression to serialize PointCloudsComponent metadata, and preload it in the reader to avoid redundant I/O and improve performance.

• Update waymo conversion to support partial sequence conversions and refine visualizations in ncore_vis.
