MATLAB scripts and functions
Installation of reconstruction routine for micro-tomography data acquired at the P05 imaging beamline (IBL) or P07 high energy material science beamline (HEMS) at PETRA III at DESY, both operated by Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon.
-
Log in to a GPU node on the MAXWELL cluster at DESY, e.g. max-hzgg001 to max-hzgg006, max-fsg, etc. The nodes max-nova, max-display and max-display3 are meant for remote access and visualization, but not for computationally expensive tasks. However, very small scans or single slice can be reconstructed on these nodes.
-
Download the latest MATLAB files from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/moosmann/matlab.git
OR
Update to latest version: Fetch latest version of the 'master' branch from the remote repository 'origin' and reset/overwrite all local changes. New files that were created locally and which do not exist in the latest branch are not deleted.
git fetch origin master & git reset --hard origin/master
Before updating you can back-up local files by branching if necessary:
git add --all git commit -m "COMMIT MESSAGE" git branch NAME_OF_BRANCH
To check which files were modified and which new (untracked files):
git status
How to start the tomographic reconstruction routine:
-
Change directory to the 'matlab' folder:
cd matlab
-
Start MATLAB using the following script:
./startmatlab.sh
The script automatically sets environment variables in order to use a local installation of the ASTRA toolbox, starts MATLAB, and sets the MATLAB search paths. (Note that this will overwrite local MATLAB user settings, for details see 'startup.m'.)
(If 'startmatlab.sh' is not executable: chmod +x startmatlab.sh)
-
If not already open, open 'p05_reco' (also for P07 scans) in MATLAB located at './matlab/experiments/p05/' e.g. enter 'edit p05_reco' in MATLAB's command line.
-
Edit/check the reconstruction parameters, at least you have to modify 'par.scan_path'.
-
Start the reconstruction by one of the following:
- Type 'p05_reco' in MATLAB's command line
- Click 'RUN' button in editor tab
- Type 'F5' key when focus is in the 'p05_reco.m' file -
The reconstruction can be automatically looped over all data sets acquired during a beamtime and/or over different reconstruction parameters. How to set up a loop script to reconstruct several data sets: help p05_create_reco_loop
