Installation

pip install chimpflow

chimpflow --version

Model file for xchem-chimp

The model file is saved in:

https://gitlab.diamond.ac.uk/xchem/xchem-chimp-models

This file is too large for github.

For GitHub pytest to find the file in its CI/CD Actions, this file has been uploaded to zenodo:

https://zenodo.org/record/7810708/2022-12-07_CHiMP_Mask_R_CNN_XChem_50eph_VMXi_finetune_DICT_NZ.pytorch

The tests/conftest.py fetches this file automatically.

Running

rm -rf detector_output
python -m detect_folder_chimp \
    --echo --preview \
    --num_classes=3 \
    --MODEL_PATH=src/xchem_chimp/detector/model/2022-12-07_CHiMP_Mask_R_CNN_XChem_50eph_VMXi_finetune_DICT_NZ.pytorch \
    --IMAGE_PATH=tests/SubwellImages/97wo_2021-09-14_RI1000-0276-3drop

Development questions

• Is the folder src/xchem_chimp/detector/background_images needed in the distribution?

• Where best to put model_file for unit testing?

• Is torchvision a necessary dependency for runtime?

• How are the model files built?

• Why are there so many mypy problems in coord_generator.py and detector_utils.py?

• How significant is this: DeprecationWarning: Please use gaussian_filter from the scipy.ndimage namespace, the scipy.ndimage.filters namespace is deprecated.

• Do we need to keep anything in the zocalo directory?

• Is there some example image where target_position is properly calculated?
