make_scriptR

(Compiled by DL)

Purpose: Generates the run script and .INN files required to batch register new images.

Requires

• make_script.in - text file containing the names of the images to batch register.

• make_scriptR.seed - text file containing the register option commands for batch registering images.

• TESTFILES/ - Directory in which to store copies of LMRK_DISPLAY.pgm (output by register) for each image.

NB: register requires a number of directories and files - refer to relevant guide.

Output

make_scriptR outputs:

• run_script.b - run script for batch image registration.
• .INN files - register seed file for each image.

run_script.b output:

• .OOT files - standard output from register for each image.

• TESTFILES/ - a copy of LMRK_DISPLAY.pgm (output by register) is saved for each image;

• NOMINALS/ - if the seed file includes the option to update the NOMINAL file, starting S/C and camera information will be updated (an option not typically selected);

• SUMFILES/ - S/C and camera information are updated as image shifts are made.

Using make_scriptR

Create Input Files

Example make_script.in file:

 P3T11S2H0409
 P3T11S2H0410
 P3T11S2H0411
END

NB: A space must precede each image filename.

Example make_scriptR.seed file (see make_scriptR.seed for further details):

s
20
3
y
XSTOP

Run make_scriptR

make_scriptR generates a .INN file for each image (the image filename appended with the register options contained in the make_scriptR.seed file. Example P3T11S2H0409.INN file:

P3T11S2H0409
s                   
20                  
3                   
y                   
XSTOP               
1                   
10                  
3                   
y                   
XSTOP               
0                   
y                   
n                   
n                   
q                   

make_scriptR also generates the run script - run_script.b:

rm -f P3T11S2H0409.OOT
/usr/local/bin/REGISTER < P3T11S2H0409.INN > P3T11S2H0409.OOT
cp TEMPFILE.pgm ./TESTFILES/P3T11S2H0409.pgm
rm -f P3T11S2H0410.OOT
/usr/local/bin/REGISTER < P3T11S2H0410.INN > P3T11S2H0410.OOT
cp TEMPFILE.pgm ./TESTFILES/P3T11S2H0410.pgm
rm -f P3T11S2H0411.OOT
/usr/local/bin/REGISTER < P3T11S2H0411.INN > P3T11S2H0411.OOT
cp TEMPFILE.pgm ./TESTFILES/P3T11S2H0411.pgm

Batch Register Images

sh run_script.b

The register standard output for each image is captured in the .OOT files, and the LMRKDISPLAY.pgm file output by register is copied and stored in TESTFILES/ once an image has been processed. The user must review the .OOT files to ascertain the success of the batch image registration process. (A find-nofit program does not currently exist for batch image registration.)
