Train Network

This manual will explain the process of how to use train a network. This essentially takes a batch of images and their corresponding traces and helps train Autotrace to better predict contours of the tongue.

there are two versions of Train Network. For this we will be using Train Network 2

• In the Autotrace/matlab-version directory, Launch Train Network 2 with the following command python TrainNetwork2.py

  

• In the Data dropdown menu, specify the training data that is compiled in the folder by clicking on the subject's folder then clicking open
  • Be sure to select both the Subject1 and traces folders.
  • Check that ROI_config.txt is in the Subject1/ folder

• Select send email notification

  This will send an email once the program is done running. It may take hours or even days depending on the system, number of images, an other variables. You should adjust your settings so that your computer does not fall asleep.

  For further information on this program and the other programs mentioned above, you should refer to the dissertation by Jeff Berry.

• When the program finishes running, it will not close automatically. After you see "Saving trained network...done" or the gsmtp code used to send you an email, use ctrl-c to close the script and go back to the command line.
