Block 6B - Bigmap Tiling V2

Description

This block is used to tile the surface with high-resolution, bigmap-referenced landmarks.

Procedure

Set Up

Define the following:

Create a bigmap that is the reference you want for the positions of the new landmarks.
Get the existing coverage of the bigmap for the resolution for which you are working.
Use make_tilefile to generate the make_scriptT.in
Check the make_scriptT.in. This contains the script path and the bigmap x/y positions that make_scriptT will use to make the INN files. We use a symbolic link to ensure we can have trackable versions.
script file - This file, defined in the top line of make_scriptT.in has the list of commands for make_scriptT will fold into the INN files for lithos to use to build the landmarks.

Create a Bigmap

  BIGMAP < lsupport/mapname.in
  cd MAPFILES
  relink MAPNAM.MAP XXXXXX.MAP
  echo XXXXXX.MAP | SHOWMAP
  convert XXXXXX lowMap.jpg

Run Map Coverage

  map_coverage
  XXXXXX
  0 .001
  convert coverage_m.pgm preCoverage.jpg

Build Tilefile

  echo N | make_tilefile > tmp
  echo XXXXXX > lsupport/bigmap_tile.in
  echo scripts/XXX001.seed >> lsupport/bigmap_tile.in
  sed 1d tmp >> lsupport/bigmap_tile.in
  relink lsupport/bigmap_tile.in make_scriptT.in

  ln -s scripts/make_scriptT_120.in make_scriptT.in
  tmp=`head -2 make_scriptT.in | tail -1`
  echo $tmp
  wc -l $tmp

Build the Script

This will create a INN file for every lat/lon set in make_scriptT.in. Warning, do not use for more than 999 new landmarks. If you do, FORTRAN will make a script of rm ****.OOT and mess things up.

  make_scriptT

Run the Batch Tiling

  nohup sh run_script.b

# When complete, save the results find_nofitT | tee output mkdir block6A mv *INN *OOT output block6A

# Once evaluation of new landmarks is complete and they are deemed “good” remove temporary files rm TESTFILES/* rm TESTFILES1/* }}}

Monitor progress

It takes about 5 minutes per landmark to generate. SPC builds landmarks in the working directory, so you can use SPC tools (the web services) to see how things are progressing. If you have to kill and restart the tiling, you need to comment out the lines in run_script.b or delete the landmarks from LMRKLIST.TXT and LMKFILES.

  ls *.INN | wc
  ls *.OOT | wc
  find_nofitT       # This displays if there were any problems

Evaluate Progress

Once you are done, take a state of how things were left. Fix the problem landmarks and keep track of the progress using notes.

  find_nofitT | tee fit   
  tileEval.sh
  grep "*" fit >> notes

Finish the Block

Once errors have been removed, then you can finish the block. You may choose to use iterations or residuals to identify other errors. blockFinish will note which INN files resulted in un-generated landmarks (deleted).
