Running the Source Extraction Pipeline
Execute the Measure >
Extract Sources command to open the toolbar. Then
click to open the Source Extraction
Properties shown below.
Now configure the Properties to control your
extraction procedure. You can select an existing Profile or set the
Properties as you need. Then choose one of the following
actions:
-
To run the extraction pipeline, click
[Process] at the bottom of the
dialog.
-
To save changes to a new profile, use the
profile control.
-
To update the currently selected profile, click
[Apply].
During the extraction processing, status messages
can be archived to a text window. If the Verbose box is checked on
the
Procedure page, then messages are listed in the
Source Extraction Messages window shown below. The messages listed
depends on which Operations and settings are selected on the pages
of the
Source
Extraction Properties.
After the source extraction procedure finishes, the
detected and filtered sources are marked as labels on the image as
shown below. Note that can change the source markers and labels
using the
Marker Properties command from the Source Extraction
Toolbar.
The image window can, of course, be magnified or
otherwise adjusted to get a better view of the sources.
The Procedure lists several Reporting options that
control what happens to the extracted properties. If you want only
to show markers for detected objects, you can choose the No Report
option. Otherwise, you can save the properties to a Report window
or to a text file. If the List to Report Window option is bulleted,
the data will be listed to a window like this:
When a large number of objects is detected in an
image (for example, when there are truly many sources, the image is
large, the detection threshold is low, or by neglecting to use
strong
filtering criteria), then labeling the sources and
listing them to the
Report window can take a long time. If you do not
need the results displayed immediately, consider de-selecting the
Label step or choosing No Report in the procedure. If needed at a
later time, you can list the results or save them to a text file
using buttons on the Procedure page.
Using the Grid "Go to Object" Command
The grid has a Go to
Object command which allows you to jump from an interesting
object in the report to a close-up view of the object in the image
window (note: this is different from the
Go to Object command in the Coordinates menu). Right-click on the row of the
target object and select Go to Object
from the pop-up menu; the image window will re-center on the target
object, provided the object is not too near the image edge for
cenetering in the window. The magnification of the centered view is
controlled by the Zoom for Go To
parameter on the
Procedure page.
