Stage 2 - Adding Images

Most of the steps in Stage 2 are similar to those Stage 1, and the exact commands will be the same. The major difference is in the use of autoregister instead of register.

The following diagram shows the general process for Stage 2.

Autoregister loads existing landmarks into a new image. When you give it an image, it locates all landmarks that fall within its boundaries. Then you can use auto-align (just as in LITHOS). You can also do auto-eliminate and set the star flag for building a template. This generates LMRK_DISPLAY1.pgm which shows pairs of landmarks for the image.

In the following table shows the steps, procedures and programs used to complete Stage 2:

Step	Procedure Name	Executable
Step 2-1	Import	process_img
Step 2-2	Sumfiles	make_sumfiles
Step 2-3	Register	register
Step 2-4	Autoregister\|autoregister
Step 2-5	Align landmarks	lithos
Step 2-6	Build Topo	lithos
Step 2-7	Batch Topo	make_scriptP, lithosP
Step 2-8	Evaluate	residuals
Step 2-9	Build Shape	dumber, densify

Not sure where following belongs but it didn't seem like it was up front. Is this a general statement about Stage 2 or did I misread?

Once you have built the initial shape in Stage 1, it will replace the Nolan radar shape model stored in the SHAPEMODELS directory. This allows a more effective image projection and registration when ingesting new images.
