Cataloging Script
Document Updated: 2019-12-16
Once data is downloaded and unpacked, the data can be cataloged (pstorm catalog <args>) in order to more quickly
access key information such as GPS data for each image, file size, and date taken to help with statistical and
spacial analysis.
Command-Line Quick Reference
| Parameter | Argument(s) | Function | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
--extension, -e |
<extension> | Only add files with this extension to the catalog | jpg |
--fields, -e |
<Set> | Only include these fields from the .geom and system values | (See Note) |
--debug, -d |
Include parameter to output debug information to console | False | |
--verbosity, -v |
<level> | The amount of information to log to console (0 = only errors, 1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high) | 1 |
Modifying Catalog Contents
Any field within the `.geom` file of all images can be added to the catalog by simply changing the `--fields` flag.
The default fields are `{'file', 'storm_id', 'archive', 'image', 'date', 'size', 'geom_checksum', 'll_lat',
'll_lon', 'lr_lat', 'lr_lon', 'ul_lat', 'ul_lon', 'ur_lat', 'ur_lon'}`.
Warning
If the command doesn't understand one of your parameters, try again, but with quotes around any argument. Command-line treats anything separated by a space as two separate arguments, so something like
-e {'file', 'storm_id', 'archive', 'image', 'date', 'size', 'geom_checksum', 'll_lat',
'll_lon', 'lr_lat', 'lr_lon', 'ul_lat', 'ul_lon', 'ur_lat', 'ur_lon'}
should instead be
-e "{'file', 'storm_id', 'archive', 'image', 'date', 'size', 'geom_checksum', 'll_lat', 'll_lon', 'lr_lat',
'lr_lon', 'ul_lat', 'ul_lon', 'ur_lat', 'ur_lon'}"
