find_nofitT

Category B	Version 3.0

Description

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

find_nofitT is a useful utility for identifying landmarks which may require further work following the batch tiling task set up using make_scriptT.

Required Files

<NNN>.OOT files - lithos standard output listings

Output Files

NEW_LIST.TXT - List of new landmarks generated during the tiling process.

Using find_nofitT

The batch process initiated by make_scriptT produces output file <NNN>.OOT that contains listings of the outputs of procedure lithos for each created landmark during a tiling run. find_nofitT looks through these output files to find places where the landmarks or images may need further work. During tiling, each new landmark is given a 6-character name <LMKNM>. The original landmark designation is a three-digit number <NNN>.

The find_nofitT procedure identifies:

<NNN> ! cat <NNN>.OOT: process still running or terminated in error. <NNN> deleted: insufficient data to create a maplet at that point. <LMKNM> * cat <NNN>.OOT: maplet correlating weakly or not at all with at least one image. <LMKNM> cat <NNN>.OOT: low or no correlation for at least one overlap.

The command 'cat <NNN>.OOT' provides a listing of the output file for more complete diagnostics. The surviving landmark names are included at the beginning of the output to make re-processing easier.

The limit for weak correlation is set by the 'NOFIT=' keyword in INIT_LITHOS.TXT.

Here is an annotated sample output from find_nofitT :

EQ0004: cat 004.OOT <- low or no correlation for at least one overlapEP0002: cat 005.OOT EP0003: cat 006.OOT EO0003: cat 007.OOT EN0003: * cat 008.OOT <- maplet correlating weakly or not at all with at least one imageEN0004: * cat 009.OOT 010 deleted ! cat 010.OOT <- insufficient data to create a maplet at that pointEM0003: cat 011.OOT EM0004: * cat 012.OOT

Here is a sample NEW_LIST.TXT from find_nofitT :
