Description

• LatLon_tiling is a way to increase the resolution of a shape model similar to Basic_tiling. The major difference between the two is that Basic_tiling increases the resolution of the shape model one bigmap at a time while LatLon_tiling increases the resolution of the shape model all at once by placing maplets at selected latitude and longitude locations.

• The key advantage of LatLon_tiling is that it is faster than Basic_tiling because bigmaps don't have to be created. However, when the resolution needs to be high (below 75 centimeters) a much larger amount of maplets/landmarks need to be created at various coordinates than when the resolution is higher. Thus, LatLon_tiling is difficult to manage at higher resolutions because of the large amount of maplets. Thus, it is best to use Basic_tiling at higher resolutions because then the various maplets used to create topography are done by region (bigmaps), which leads to better organization.

Step1

Set up the files for the rn

Step2

Run and monitor

Step1

Overview

The will use XXXXXX and XXX020.SEED to generate a suite of files to tile a bigmap.

Output will be exact (diff)

Prep

Copy the reference map to XXXXXX (because Bob likes it that way)

cp MAPFILES/REFMAP.MAP MAPFILES/XXXXXX.MAP

Add map name and seed to the top of the output from make_tilefile, which should be named make_scriptT.in

It should look like this:

XXXXXX
XXX020.SEED
      50   50
     100   50
     150   50
     200   50
     250   50
     300   50
     350   50
     400   50
     450   50
     500   50
     550   50
     600   50
...
     900  950
     950  950
END

Run

~/bin/make_scriptT

Output

• INN files (1 to 361)
• rem_script.b
• run_script.b
• dsp_list.txt

Step 2

Run

Run, just run the script to make the whole thing go (in the background)

nohup sh run_script.b &

Monitor

Track the progress with find_nofitT

~/bin/find_nofitT

If there are problems with the processing, you'll get a list of landmarks with issues

  just listed - no significant issue
  * very bad - must fix
  ! not too bad - should fix
