explore: Experimental Plot data Reconstructor

[ bsd3, graphics, program ] [ Propose Tags ]

Very first prototype of a command line tool to extract pixel positions matching a given colour to help reconstruct plot data. See example.ods or example.xls, README and Main.hs on the project homepage to figure out its usage.

SYNOPSIS

  explore image legend tolerance scan-area interval [translation]


DESCRIPTION


   image         the image file to scan, it should be a 32-bit PNG with an alpha
                 channel



   legend        the legend file that contains a list of names and base line
                 colors in this format

                  [("Frame", RGBA 255 0 0 255),("Line",  RGBA 0 0 255 255)]



   tolerance     how much color components can deviate from base colors
               
                  S            strict: allow no deviation         (= TC 0 0 0 0)

                  TA m         maximum delta for all components   (= TC m m m m)

                  TC r g b a   individiual maximum delta values
                               for corresponding components



   scan-area     which part of the image is to be scanned

                                            (w = image width, h = image height)

                  F            all image area                  (= B 0 0 w h)

                  O l t        offset from left and top        (= B l t w h)

                  M l t r b    margins from left, top,         (= B l t w-r h-b)
                               right and bottom

                  B l t r b    a plot box; with left, top, right and bottom
                               positions in pixels



   interval      horizontal scan interval in pixels, this value is read as
                 a floating point number so you can give 4,5 for a scan

 
  
   translation   2d translation to be applied to the output pixels

                  Identity     output pixels exactly as they are located
                               in the input image; old default with full
                               scan area

                  Box Bottom   output pixel positions relevant to the left
                               and bottom lines of the plot box; new default

                  Box Top      output pixel positions relevant to the left
                               and top lines of the plot box


HISTORY

  0.0.6.2
  - Fixed help output

  0.0.6
  - Added basic 2D translation support
  - Changed default 2D translation from Identity to "Box Bottom"
    To get old behaviour from previous versions: use Identity

  0.0.5
  - First version created in collaboration with An Le Thi Thanh


KNOWN ISSUES

  - It is only a very early hack ^__^"!!
  - Line occlusion causes matches to fail.
  - Supports only 32-bit PNGs (with an alpha/transparency channel).
  - No automatic recognition whatsoever of figures/plots given
    a full page. Lots of happy moments with Gimp and Inkscape!!


EXAMPLES

  - The example plots provided with this package are from:

      Incorporating Environmental factors in
      Modelling Malaria Transmission in under five
      children in Rural Burkina Faso

      Inaugural Dissertation to attain the degree of
      Doctor Scientiarum humanarum (Dr. Sc. Hum.)

      At the Medical Faculty of Ruprecht-Karls-University
      Heidelberg

      submitted by Yazoumé Yé

      from Sayoro, Burkina Faso
      September 2005


  - To create the example outputs:

      explore 39-cisse-x.png 39-legend "TC 100 150 150 150" F 20.83 Identity
      explore 39-goni-x.png  39-legend "TC 100 150 150 150" F 20.83 Identity
      explore 39-nouna-x.png 39-legend "TC 100 150 150 150" F 20.83 Identity
