Processing a Photo Set
The following instructions assume you have opened the program, if you have not, follow the instructions here and return to this page once complete.
Having a well-formed photo set improves the chances of getting useful results from the processing. You can find best practices for taking and managing photos here.
Click on Extraction to move to the dedicated page.
Click the Photo Folder button and select the photo-set folder.
Click the Process Photos button to start the extraction, this can take a significant amount of time depending on the system and the number of photos being processed.
Did the program crash? If so, you may need to install the Machine learning Models, instructions can be found here.
Wait for the Text Extraction in Progress to change to Text Extraction Complete. Once the extraction is complete the program will automatically select the extracted data to be queried.
Once the photo extraction has been completed, the user may edit the extracted data in the "OCR Extraction Processing" tab. Select the most recently completed extract file, edit the needed entries and click the save button at the bottom of the page.
Note: In order to load or save an extract the file needs to have been produced or match the columns of a sheet produced by the "Process Mode" setting found in the "Settings" tab. In other words, if you are editing a "Pair-Photo" extract the sheet will only save if the setting is in "Pair-Photo".
Once the photo extraction has been completed, press the Process Queries button to start the queries.
Once the process finishes a popup will appear, click Yes to open the results in the file explorer. The resulting file will be selected in the file explorer.
The default location of extraction results is in a folder within the PMET program folder called extracted_data.
