astro-pink 2.5

Parallelized rotation and flipping INvariant Kohonen maps

Parallelized rotation and flipping INvariant Kohonen maps (PINK)

Requirements

• C++ with ISO 17 standard
• CMake >= 3.18
• CUDA >= 9.1 (highly recommended)
• conan.io (optional for C++ dependencies) or
  • PyBind11 (optional for Python interface)
  • google-test 1.8.1 (optional for unit tests)
• doxygen 1.8.13 (optional for developer documentation)

Conan.io will install automatically the C++ dependencies (PyBind11 and google-test). Otherwise you can also install these libraries yourself.

Installation

We provide deb- and rpm-packages at https://github.com/HITS-AIN/PINK/releases

or you can install PINK from the sources:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<INSTALL_PATH> .
make install

PyPI installation

PINK is also available as PyPi package which can be installed by

pip install astro-pink

HPC deployment with EasyBuild

The EasyBuild recipe is available at https://github.com/BerndDoser/easybuild-easyconfigs/tree/hits/easybuild/easyconfigs/p/PINK.

Usage

To train a the self-organizing map (SOM) please execute

Pink --train <image-file> <result-file>

where image-file is the input file of images for the training and result-file is the output file for the trained SOM. All files are in binary mode described here.

To map an image to the trained SOM please execute

Pink --map <image-file> <result-file> <SOM-file>

where image-file is the input file of images for the mapping, SOM-file is the input file for the trained SOM, and result-file is the output file for the resulting heatmap.

Please use also the command Pink -h to get more informations about the usage and the options.

Python scripts

For conversion and visualization of images and SOM some python scripts are available.

• convert_data_binary_file.py Convert binary data file from PINK version 1 to 2
• show_heatmap.py: Visualize the mapping result
• show_images.py: Visualize binary images file format
• show_som.py: Visualize binary SOM file format
• train.py: SOM training using the PINK Python interface
