find_nofit

Description

This program searches batch processing output files to identify landmarks or images which may need further work.

find_nofit is a useful utility for identifying landmarks which may require further work following batch processing tasks such as those that use make_scriptF or make_scriptR.

Required Files

• make_script.in - input file for batch processes such as make_scriptF, make_scriptR, make_scriptA or make_scriptAP.

• Either:

  • <LMRKNM>.OOT files - output by a batch process such as make_scriptF.

• Or:

  • <PICNM>.OOT files - output by a batch process such as make_scriptR, make_scriptA or make_scriptAP.

Output Files

Either:

• redo.txt - list of landmarks that

  • terminated in error
  • do not correlate with at least one image, OR
  • correlate weakly with at least one image

Or:

• REMOVED.TXT - list of landmarks that have been eliminated from at least one image due to low or no correlation.

Using find_nofit

The batch processes initiated by make_scriptF, make_scriptR, make_scriptA and make_scriptAP produce output files <LMKNM>.OOT or <PICNM>.OOT. These are basically listings of the outputs of procedures lithos, register, autoregister and autoregisterP respectively for each input landmark or image. find_nofit looks through these output files for each landmark or picture listed in the make_script.in file to identify landmarks or images that may need further work.

For lithos

If the entries in the make_script.in file are landmarks (make_script.in for lithos runs), the find_nofit procedure identifies:

!  cat <LMKNM>.OOT - process still running or terminated in error.
*  cat <LMKNM>.OOT - maplets not correlating with at least one image.
+  cat <LMKNM>.OOT - maplets correlating weakly with at least one image.
.  cat <LMKNM>.OOT - no correlation for at least one overlap.
   cat <LMKNM>.OOT - low correlation for at least one overlap.

The cat <LMKNM>.OOT produces a listing of the output file for more complete diagnostics. The program also produces a redo.txt file listing those landmarks that failed one of the first three tests. The limit for weak correlation is set by the 'NOFIT=' keyword in INIT_LITHOS.TXT.

For register

If the entries in the make_script.in file are images (make_script.in for register, autoregister and autoregisterP runs), the find_nofit procedure identifies:

.  cat <PICNM>.OOT  image not correlating with at least one maplet.

The cat <PICNM>.OOT will produce a listing of the output file for more complete diagnostics. The program also produces a REMOVED.TXT file listing those landmarks that were eliminated from one of the images for low or no correlation.

Here is an annotated sample output from find_nofit:

*  cat EE0017.OOT              <- maplets not correlating with at least one image
   cat EE0019.OOT              <- low correlation for at least one overlap
   cat EE0022.OOT
.  cat EE0027.OOT              <- no correlation for at least one overlap
+  cat EE0034.OOT              <- maplets correlating weakly with at least one image
*  cat EE0042.OOT
*  cat EE0044.OOT
+  cat EE0045.OOT
!  cat EE0051.OOT              <- process still running or terminated in error
!  cat EE0053.OOT
+  cat EE0054.OOT
   cat EE0055.OOT
!  cat EE0063.OOT
   cat EE0067.OOT
   cat EE0069.OOT
   cat EE0081.OOT

Here is an annotated sample redo.txt file from find_nofit:

* EE0017              <- maplets not correlating with at least one image
+ EE0034              <- maplets correlating weakly with at least one image
* EE0042
* EE0044
+ EE0045
EE0051                <- process still running or terminated in error
EE0053
+ EE0054
EE0063
END

Here is an annotated sample REMOVED.TXT file from find_nofit:

AA0001                <- maplet eliminated from an image for low or no correlation
AF0023
