BERA Tools
BERA Tools is successor of Forest Line Mapper. It is a toolset for enhanced delineation and attribution of linear disturbances in forests.
Quick Start
Here are the ways to install BERA Tools:
- Windows installer
- Install with Anaconda.
Windows Installer
Windows installer is provided with releases. Check the latest release. Signing is currently off by default; unsigned assets are named beratools-installer-x.y.z-unsigned.exe and identified as unsigned in the release notes. Windows may display an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning. Maintainers can enable SignPath per run according to the BERA Tools Code signing policy.
Install with Anaconda
Install with Anaconda works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
-
Install Miniconda. Download Miniconda from Miniconda and install on your machine.
-
Download and save the file environment.yml.
-
Launch Anaconda Prompt and Change directory to where environment.yml is saved.
-
Run the command to install BERA Tools.
$ conda env create -n bera -f environment.yml
After the installation is done, a new environment named bera is created and BERA Tools is installed within it.
-
Activate the bera environment and launch BERA Tools main GUI:
$ conda activate bera $ beratools gui
- Download latest example data to try with BERA Tools.
For more information about installation, check the BERA Tools Installation.
Pipelines
The Pipeline tab, next to Tool history in the GUI, chains tools into steps that run one after
another. Drag tools in from the tool tree, set each step's parameters in the tool form, and link a
step's inputs to an earlier step's output. Each input links to the latest earlier step that makes what
it needs, for example the checked lines from Check Seed Lines into Centerline, and the
links are reset whenever a step is added, moved or removed. Pipelines save as .json files and also
run without the GUI:
$ python -m beratools.core.pipeline my_pipeline.json --processes 4
