View source for $G/src/jspBin/trail contact areas.txt

<pre>
We migrated the contact area code to Linux, under $G.

Here's how it works. All the executables are under  
/map/gfx0/tools/linux/bin/jspBin 
(aka $G/bin/jspBin)
and /map/gfx0/tools/linux/src/jointViewer

(The source code for /map/gfx0/tools/linux/bin/jspBin/ executables is
located in
/map/gfx0/users/gem/closest/)



Steps to visualize and gather statistics on joint contact areas
---------------------------------------------------------------

A.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
** make a data directory (wherever, really) where you'll put the patient specific data. For example, see:

/u/gem/wrists/joint_space/joint_space_orig/

The directory should contain:
a. the bone Geomagic meshes in OIv format, labeled <bone_tag>.iv
b. one animation file for each bone, labeled <bone_tag>_anim.RT
c. an anatomical coordinate system for each bone, labeled  <bone_tag>_coord.dat



B.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
** edit the batch files "joints_one_linux" and "joints_linux" (located in this directory) 
as follows:

   1. replace the "set data_directory =" line with

             set data_directory = <path to the data directory you made>

   2. replace ra2 and ul2 with your bone tags

   3. ("joints_one" only) replace x_cube, x_coef and the like, if need be
    (x_cube controls the resolution of the distance cube; x_coef extends the 
    cube on each side by x_coef*100% times the diameter of the object)

   4. ("joints"  only) replace the "-distMapHorizon 5.0" line with
  -distMapHorizon <up to how many mm. you want the contact area to be computed>


   5. ("joints"  only) replace the "-lineSpacing 1.0" line with
        -lineSpacing <how many mm. between contour lines>



C.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Linux
-----
** run joints_one


** run joints; the stats will be printed in your data directory in files labeled
  <bone_tag>.out

and 

  <bone_tag>.out.anwar_style_stats


If you want Leor's stats instead, wherer in joints_linux it says
echo "Script for running jointViewer"
/map/gfx0/tools/linux/src/jointViewer/obj/jspJointStats  \
        -frequency 0.05 \
        -distMapHorizon 5.0 \
        -lineSpacing 1.0 \
        -correctNormals 1 \
        -showDistMap 1 \
        -showContours 1 \
        -showAnimation 1 \
        -lineColour 0.3 0.3 0.3 \
        -distMapColour 1.0 0.0 0.0 \
        2 \
        $bone_tag_1 \
        $bone_tag_2 \
        $data_directory


say instead

/map/gfx0/tools/linux/bin/jspJointStats -frequency 0.05 -distMapHorizon 3.0 -lineSpacing 0.5 -showDistMap 1 -showContours 1 -showAnimation 1 -lineRaisedHt 0.1 -lineColour 0.0 0.5 0.5 -distMapColour 1.0 0.0 0.0 -silent 1 -correctNormals 1 -showCurvature 4 2 \
        $bone_tag_1 \
        $bone_tag_2 \
        $data_directory

Voila. That's all.

If you must run Leor's script for lots of subjects and poses, see
leor_hand_off.txt file in this directory.

Old Linux/Solaris
------------------
Old stuff for Trey is in
/map/gfx1/common/hand/Nurbs_pipeline/for_trey/readme_pipeline
However Solaris libraries are weakened so the Solaris code won't run anymore
