Folder Layout

The application is installed inside of the Appdata folder in Windows. The installer will install it inside \Appdata\Roaming\Computer Vision Emergency Response Toolkit

You can navigate to this folder by typing %appdata% in the Windows search bar. This will open up the AppData\Roaming folder. Finally, open the Computer Vision Emergency Response Toolkit folder.

  • Setup

    • checkPythonVersion.bat
      • Checks that the python version is 3.6.4. (should be updated to any version above 3.6)
    • checkPythonPackages.bat
      • checks for the python dependencies required
    • installPythonPackages.bat
      • runs the installation script for all of the python dependencies

  • analyze.py

    • Main entry point to the python back-end
    • Processes command-line arguments and fetches parameters from the file
    • creates copies of images and the directory structure required
    • passes the images into the two algorithms and combines the results
    • saves the heat-map Image

  • parameters.ini

    • Details here.
    • Contains the parameters that are read by the two algorithms.
    • Any new Algorithms should have their user-set Parameters here.
