changing caption name

Question

I work with both pictures and schematics, and instead of "figure", I want "Picture" or "Schematics" to show up. Thus I use \renewcommand as shown below:

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Picture}
\begin{figure}[htp]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1.0]{my_picture.png}
\caption{This is my picture}
\end{figure}

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Schematics}
\begin{figure}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    code
\end{tikzpicture}
\caption{This is my schematics}
\end{figure}

The result of the caption would be:

Picture 1.1 : This is my picture
Schematics 1.2 : This is my schematics

meaning that they are enumerated commonly, starting from 1. Is there a way both of them to have individual enumeration, such as

Picture 1.1 : This is my picture
Schematics 1.1 : This is my schematics
Picture 1.2 : This is my picture
Schematics 1.2 : This is my schematics
etc ......

Welcome to TeX.SX! I believe you want to look at the newfloat package. — egreg, Jul 01 '16 at 10:49
changing \figurename should not change the counting, it should do exactly as you wish. — David Carlisle, Jul 01 '16 at 11:01
You want a new floating environment. Aside from newfloat, you can also use package tocbasic. This will also give you two separate lists. — Johannes_B, Jul 01 '16 at 11:04
Using KOMA-Script packages with other classes Exactly what you want, but you might want to change Remark to Shematic. — Johannes_B, Jul 01 '16 at 11:05
All remarks were quite useful. Finally I used some code from the question "Image caption withing \neofolat" http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/115499/image-caption-within-newfloat and works fine. — user3060854, Jul 01 '16 at 11:44
