Obj.MPP for Users¶
Usage: OS-independent¶
General Instructions¶
The steps to use the Obj.MPP tools are:
download the project available in the source code repository, for example as a ZIP archive
decompress the archive
open a console (a terminal application on Linux or MacOS, or the command prompt on Windows [1])
move to the folder containing
mpp_detector_cli.py
[2]run one of the following commands (see Detailed usage):
python3 mpp_detector_cli.py path_to_an_INI_configuration_file
python3 mpp_detector_gi.py
python3 mpp_quality_chooser.py
Note
The use of python3
as the Python interpreter command is a way to emphasize that the Obj.MPP tools must be interpreted using version 3 of the Python language. Actual interpreter command name might be different depending on OS configuration.
The script mpp_detector_cli.py
is the command-line version of Obj.MPP. It allows “more advanced” users to write their own INI configuration file [3], and then launch the detection algorithm with this INI file as input.
The script mpp_detector_gi.py
is the graphical version of Obj.MPP and exposes only a subset of the configuration parameters that mpp_detector_cli.py
accepts. It is more targeted toward regular users.
The script mpp_quality_chooser.py
is a graphical tool allowing to infer good configuration parameters regarding object parameters and object quality. It is potentially useful in either case.
