This sets the parameters that limber uses.
'SHAPEFILES/SHAPE.TXT' Initial (Nolan q=64) ICQ model (need to update this each time, or make sure SHAPE.TXT is the current model)
1 appears in LIMVECS.TXT if d > 90 pixels
1 PICNM.LIM created if d > 90 pixels
20 Max search range in image pixels
2 Search expansion factor (higher values search further away, Bob says to use a value of 3 with impunity)
10 Max height wrt SHAPE (scale units, in shape units. So a higher Q will result in a smaller scale unit. Scale unit in physical distance is something like "diameter of body"/Q)
12 Max phase for terminators (degrees) [a higher (lower?) max phase can result in the terminator being flagged as a limb. If the phase of the object is <50deg, can accept the terminator as a limb because the terminator will be close to the limb anyway.]
- max search range in pixels down to 10 (from 100) because Calypso is so tiny.
- max phase for terminators to 10, then 20, then 30 because he wasn’t liking the results.
- max height wrt shape down to 10, then up to 15
- scaling factor up to 4, then down to 3.
