Image splitting

Image splitting is implemented as a regular psana module ImgAlgos::ImgVsTimeSplitInFiles.

...

  • The <int16_t> image data array is split for ordered (in psana *.cfg file) number of equal parts and each part is saved in the output img-xcs-r0015-b####.bin file sequentially for all selected events.
  • The appropriate time record for selected event is saved in the file img-xcs-r0015-time.txt.
  • At the end of the splitting procedure:
    • the average time difference and its rms between sequential events is evaluated for all recorded time records.
    • The file img-xcs-r0015-time.txt is re-processed and for each record the time index is evaluated as unsigned value of
      Code Block
      <time-index> = (<event-time> + 0.5 <average-time-between-events>) /  <average-time-between-events> 
      
    • Event record with time index is saved in the file img-xcs-r0015-time-ind.txt
  • All metadata parameters which are required for further processing, such as input parameters, image size, <average-time-between-events, maximal value of the time index etc., are saved in file img-xcs-r0015-med.txt.

Time correlation processing

ImgAlgos/app/corana application

Command to run interactively on psana#### or submit in batch from pslogin## node:

Note

This approach allows to apply the modest event selection algorithms in psana pre-processing stage.
But, it still based on sequential time indexing...
Q: Is it qood assumption for this kind of experiments?

Time correlation processing

ImgAlgos/app/corana application

Command to run interactively on psana#### or submit in batch from pslogin## node:

Code Block
corana -f <fname-data> [-t <fname-tau>] [-l <logfile>] [-h] 
bsub -q psfehq -o log-file 'corana -f <fname-data> [-t <fname-tau>] [-l <logfile>] [-h]'

...

ImgAlgos/app/corana_submit - is a wrapping script which allows to run all of above procedures by a single command from pslogin## node and it keeps eye on processing of jobs in batch and doing the file managmentmanagement. Command to start:

Code Block
corana_submit [-c <config-file>] [-t <fname-tau>] [-x] <xtc-file-list>

...

Code Block
corana_submit -c ImgAlgos/data/psana-xcsi0112-r0015-img-auto-correlation.cfg -t my-tau.txt /reg/d/psdm/XCS/xcsi0112/xtc/e167-r0015-s00-c00.xtc 

Manual sequential processing

In case of manual processing of all scripts, commands need to be issued in a right order. Commands corana, corana_merge, and corana_procres should have the same list of parameters. This is important, because all file names for these procedures are generated by the same base class ImgAlgos/src/CorAna.cpp

Right sequence of commands to run interactively on psana####

This script sequentially performs operations for single run as follows:

  1. Initialize all parameters
  2. Run psana to split image for files
  3. Check that all split files are produced
  4. Submit job for time-correlation processing
  5. Check that all processed files are produced
  6. Submit job for merging
  7. Check that merged file is produced
  8. Submit job for test processing of the file with results
  9. List all created files
  10. Clean-up files in the work directory
  11. List of preserved files
    Note

    The next to last procedure deletes all intermediate split- and log- files.
    In debugging mode this procedure may be turned off.

Quick start guide

We assume that everything is set up to work on LCLS analysis farm, otherwise see Computing and Account Setup.

How to run this procedure

If the version of the package ImgAlgos is already current software release, then you may run the script command(s) directly, for example:

Code Block

cd <your-favorite-directory>
mkdir work_corana
sit_setup
corana_submit [-c <config-file>] [-t <fname-tau>] [-x] <xtc-file-list>
Note

If the code in package ImgAlgos has been recently changed and the updated release is not yet available, then one need to create the local release directory, get the latest/HEAD version of the package and compile the code as shown below:

Code Block
cd <your-favorite-directory>
mkdir work_coranadirectory>
newrel ana-current myReleaseDirectory
cd myReleaseDirectory
sit_setup
corana_submit [-c <config-file>] [-t <fname-tau>] [-x] <xtc-file-list>
Note

If the code in package ImgAlgos has been recently changed and the updated release is not yet available, then one need to create the local release directory, get the latest/HEAD version of the package and compile the code as shown below:

Code Block

cd <your-favorite-directory>
newrel ana-current myReleaseDirectory
cd myReleaseDirectory
sit_setup
addpkg ImgAlgos HEAD
scons

Where to find results

The procedure will produce a bunch of files in the work_corana directory. The most important files are

File name tail

Format

Content

*-image-result.bin

binary for <float>

correlators for all image pixels for all tau values

*-time-ind.txt

text

time records for all selected events/images

*-tau.txt

text

the list of tau intervals

*-med.txt

text

meta data parameters

*-hist.txt

text

Histogram array with correlators averaged for ring regions of the image for all tau values, shown in the first column

How to look at results

It is assumed that all files listed in previous section may be used for further analysis, depending on particular goals.

Where to find results

The procedure will produce a bunch of files in the work_corana directory. If everything is OK, then all spit - and log- files will be removed at the end of automatic corana_submit procedure. The most important files are preserved for further analysis:

File name tail

Format

Content

*-image-result.bin

binary for <float>

correlators for all image pixels for all tau values

*-time-ind.txt

text

time records for all selected events/images

*-tau.txt

text

the list of tau intervals

*-med.txt

text

meta data parameters

*-hist.txt

text

Histogram array with correlators averaged for ring regions of the image for all tau values, shown in the first column

How to look at results

It is assumed that all files listed in previous section may be used for further analysis, depending on particular goals. The optional script corana_procres is designed as an example of how to access data from C++ code. Class CorAnaProcResults produces the file *-hist.txt
A simple python script shows how to plot this file:

Code Block

./ImgAlgos/data/PlotCorAnaResults.py work_corana/img-xcs-r0015-hist.txt

Note

Another option is to use python script for direct processing of the resulting files.
This is not elaborated yet.
Q: What kind of further processing is desired and what tools are going to be used?
