A Gooey version of Pix Plot (https://github.com/YaleDHLab/pix-plot) Pix_plot_gooey is a tool that provides users with the ability to visualize and analyze thousands of images in a two-dimensional projection by comparing and clustering the images. The image analysis uses Tensorflow's Inception bindings, and the visualization layer uses a custom WebGL viewer.
Launch code from terminal using command ''' pythonw pix_plot_gooey_env.py ''' A window will open up with several spaces to fill in. The fields are described below.
| Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
| image_dir | The folder containing all of your images. Click the browse button and use the finder screen to select and open the folder that contains your images. |
| model_use | The file containing the model you plan to use. Click the browse button and use the finder screen to select and open the model file. |
| Clusters | Provide a number that the program will use to find hotspots in your data. The number provided will be the umber of hotspots the program will find. Pick a number that is close the the estimated nmber of categories you think are in the image set. The number provided must be less than the number of images in the data set. This is purely a browsing feature, it does not change the projection. |
| output | This is the folder where all the information generated form the program will be stored. It is important that this folder is found within the pix-plot folder that the program generated upon launching. Click on the brose button, fing the pix-plot folder, double click on the folder and then make a new folder called output by clicking the new folder button. Open that folder for the program. |
| method | This is a more technical feature. Select UMAP. |
