find_nofitT

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 overlap
EP0002:   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 image
EN0004: * cat 009.OOT 
010 deleted
   !  cat 010.OOT                  <- insufficient data to create a maplet at that point
EM0003:   cat 011.OOT 
EM0004: * cat 012.OOT 

Here is a sample NEW_LIST.TXT from find_nofitT:

EP0001
EP0002
EP0003
EP0004
EQ0001
EQ0002
EQ0003
EQ0004
