Shell¶

The library also includes a command line interface and shell for converting files from a given extension to hdf5, as well as gif making capabilities for easy visualisation of the files.

Opening the Shell¶

If the install with pip worked perfectly, you can now type aertb in a terminal window and the Shell will open.

If you are installing it from Github: download you should download the project from github and follow the following

instructions:

git clone ...

Create a virual environment, if venv is not installed run pip install virtualenv,

then python3 -m venv aertb_env

Run source aertb_env/bin/activate

Run the following command: pip install -r requirements.txt

Open the shell with python3 . or with the __main__.py file

Using the Shell¶

Once the Shell is open you get a a similar output on your terminal:

type help to see supported commands and help <topic> to get more info of the command

Examples¶

Creating an HDF5 out of a directory:

tohdf5 -f 'example_data/' -e 'dat' -o 'mytest.h5'

The recommended directory shape is

|--Parent
    |-- LabelClass1
        |-- SampleName1
        |-- SampleName2
        |-- ....
    |-- LabelClass2
        |-- SampleName1
        |-- SampleName2
        |-- ....
    |-- ...

And we suggest that train and test are kept as separate folders so they translate to two different files

Creating an HDF5 out of a single file:

tohdf5 -f 'example_data/bin/one/03263.bin' -o 'mytest2.h5'

Creating a gif out of a given file:

makegif -f 'example_data/prophesee_dat/test_23l_td.dat' -o 'myGif.gif' -nfr 240 -g 'std'

Exiting the Shell

type quit
Exit virtual environment: $ deactivate
