Objective

We will investigate the use of BatchMake for automating and packaging our particle-based shape analysis pipeline. Major tasks include learning to use BatchMake, and designing compatible command-line interfaces for our existing software.

Approach, Plan

Our goal during project week is to spec out a design and API for a shape analysis pipeline that strings together a number of our existing software tools. If time allows, we will also construct a prototype system. Existing code that we hope to convert for use by BatchMake includes preprocessing routines, correspondence optimization routines, and visualization tools.
