make_scriptP

Category B Version 3.0

Description

The program generates the run script and .INN files required to iterate maplets using lithosP.

Required Files

input file:

  • make_script.in - Text file containing a list of the landmarks to be processed, appended with the end-of-file identifier, 'END'. seed file:
  • make_scriptP.seed - Test file containing the lithosP option commands for iterating each maplet. processed files:
  • INIT_LITHOS - make_scriptP reads the USRMX (maximum number of core processors) value.
  • TESTFILES1/ - Directory in which to store copies of LMRK_DISPLAY.pgm (output by lithosP) for each landmark.

/!\ lithosP requires a number of directories and files. Refer to lithosP for more information.

Output Files

make_scriptP outputs:

  • run.sh - Controlling run script for batch maplet iteration using parallel processing.
  • run script for each core processor:
  • run_script01.b
  • run_script02.b
  • etc ...
  • .INN files - lithosP command seed file for each maplet.
  • rem_script.b - Script for removal of temporary files (working directory clean-up). run_scriptnn.b outputs:
  • .OOT files - standard output from lithosP for each landmark.] processed files outputs:
  • TESTFILES1/ - a copy of LMRK_DISPLAY.pgm (output by lithosP) is saved for each landmark;
  • SUMFILES/ - S/C and camera information are updated by lithosP as image shifts are accepted. New landmarks and limb fits are added to the SUMFILEs;
  • LMKFILES/ - LMKFILES are updated by lithosP.
  • MAPFILES/ - MAPFILES are updated by lithosP.

/!\ lithosP requires a number of directories and files. Refer to lithos for more information.

User Warnings

{X} You must set the correct number of core processors for USRMX, a variable contained in INIT_LITHOS. Refer to that entry for further information.

Using make_scriptP

For more information on iteration procedures, refer to the 'How-To': Standard_iteration.

  1. Create Input Files

The make_script.in file lists the names for the landmarks that should be processed.

Here is a sample make_script.in file:

EE0001
EE0002
EE0003
  etc...
END

Be sure that the list is ordered by:

  • highest-to-lowest maplet ground sample distance
  • name (region identifier (e.g., FF) + unique numeric identifier (e.g., 0001)) Also, be sure that there are no duplicate entries. You can use duplicates to generate the make_script.in file.

Here is a sample make_scriptP.seed file (see that entry for for further information):

1.#2 Run make_scriptP

make_scriptP generates a .INN file for each maplet.

Here is a sample .INN file for maplet EE0001.INN:

01
i
EE0001
H*                  
x                   
.025                
0                   
40                                                                            
etc ...

The first three lines of the .INN file supply a processor identifier (e.g., 01), and load the landmark in lithosP. The remainder of the .INN file lists a copy of the lithosP commands contained in make_scriptP.seed.

make_scriptP also generates the controller run script run.sh, which looks like this:

 chmod +x run_script01.b
 chmod +x run_script02.b
   etc ...

 cd SHAPEFILES
 chmod +w SHAPE.TXT
 cp SHAPE.TXT TSHP01.TXT
 cp SHAPE.TXT TSHP02.TXT
   etc ...
 chmod -w SHAPE.TXT
 cd ..

 ./run_script01.b &
 ./run_script02.b &
   etc ...

make_scriptP also generates the run_script01.b, run_script02.b etc. files, which look like this:

rm -f EE0001.OOT
/usr/local/bin/LITHOSP < EE0001.INN > EE0001.OOT
cp LMRK_DISPLAY01.pgm TESTFILES1/EE0001.pgm
rm -f EE0007.OOT
/usr/local/bin/LITHOSP < EE0007.INN > EE0007.OOT
cp LMRK_DISPLAY01.pgm TESTFILES1/EE0007.pgm
rm -f EE0013.OOT
  etc ...

1.#3 Conduct Standard Iteration

Here is a sample command line for running run.sh:

sh run.sh

You can also run this in the background using this command line:

nohup sh run.sh &

The lithosP standard output for each image is captured in the .OOT files. The LMRKDISPLAY.pgm file output by lithosP is copied and saved in TESTFILES1/ once a landmark has been processed.

1.#4 Quality Check Iterated Maplets

You must review the .OOT files to ascertain the success of the iteration process. You can detect problem landmarks using find_nofitP. Refer to that entry for more information.

1.#5 Clean Working Directory

You can use rem_script.b to clean out the directory of make_scriptP working files once iteration is complete and you have quality checked the iterated maplets.

Here is a sample rem_script.b file:

rm -f *.INN
rm -f *.OOT
rm -f run_script*
