Purpose

The module PythonToCppTileProcessorBridge allows to connect python-based TileProcessors and TileProcessorProperties to ProcessTiles or ApplyTileProcessorPageWise.

Usage

Connect a TileProcessor and a (proposed) TileProcessorProperties object to its inputs, combine its outputs using a AddTileProcessorProperties module, and connect its output to ProcessTiles, ApplyTileProcessorPageWise or ApplyTileProcessor

Details

The module is responsible for converting c++ calls made by modules such as ProcessTiles or ApplyTileProcessorPageWise on the wrapper object provided at outCppTileProcessor into python calls on the python processor at inPyTileProcessor, and converting data back and forth. It also converts python TileProcessorProperties from inPyTileProcessorProperties to their C++ equivalent.

NOTES

• Usually the module is not used on “top level” as it can easily be added to the actual python processor’s wrapper module, if existing (e.g. see module ExamplePythonTileProcessor, which therefore also has an outCppTileProcessor field)
• The py/c++ conversion is quite slow, so it actually only makes sense if the tile processing itself is computationally expensive.

Input Fields

inPyTileProcessor

name: inPyTileProcessor, type: MLBase, deprecated name: inPyTileClassifier

Python tile processor as defined in mlab_projects.TileProcessing.PythonTileProcessing.TileProcessor. See ExamplePythonTileProcessor for an example.

inPyTileProcessorProperties

name: inPyTileProcessorProperties, type: MLBase, deprecated name: inPyTileProperties,inPyTilePropertiesSource

Python TileProcessorProperties object to be converted to a C++ TileProcessorPropertiesSource (which does not copy the properties, but references the python ones).

Output Fields

outCppTileProcessor

name: outCppTileProcessor, type: MLBase, deprecated name: outCppTileClassifier

C++ wrapper for the python tile processor connected at the input.

outCppTileProcessorProperties

name: outCppTileProcessorProperties, type: MLBase, deprecated name: outCppTileProperties

C++ TileProcessorPropertiesSource (which does not copy the python properties, but references them).

Parameter Fields

Visible Fields

Print Traceback for these Python Exceptions in processTile()

name: inPrintTraceBackForPythonExceptions, type: Enum, default: OnlyUnspecific

Selects for which exceptions in processTile() the error traceback is printed. Note that the consumer module will always print at least one error with the exception’s message.

Values:

Title	Name	Description
All	All	For all exceptions
Only Unspecific	OnlyUnspecific	Only for ‘unspecific’ exceptions (e.g. TileProcessor.ProcessTileError is exempt)
None	None	Never print a traceback.

Hidden Fields

inPyTileProcessorTouched

name: inPyTileProcessorTouched, type: Trigger

Only internally used

inPyTileProcessorPropertiesTouched

name: inPyTileProcessorPropertiesTouched, type: Trigger, deprecated name: inPyTilePropertiesTouched

Only internally used
