VIE (Filter) File Specification

Overview

The filter file is a .vie file and contains all of the information to load a set of filters for one camera into Autoscoper. The same file can be used for multiple cameras. The file is organized similar to HTML with opening and closing tags. The values for each filter are still key value pairs.

Warning

The VIE is automatically generated by the Autoscoper GUI. It is not recommended to edit the file manually. This page exists for documentation purposes.

For more information on how to use the GUI to add and adjust filters, see the Rendering and Filters tutorial.

Tags and Attributes

Tags are opened with the _begin suffix and closed with the _end suffix. Attributes are key value pairs that are contained within the tags. The value of the attribute should be a number.

Tag	Attributes	Description
RadFilters	SobelFilter tag, ContrastFilter tag, GaussianFilter tag, and SharpenFilter tag	Specifies the beginning and end of the filters that are applied to the radiograph renderer.
DrrRenderer	SampleDistance, RayIntensity, and Cutoff	Specifies the Ray casting settings for the DRR renderer.
DrrFilters	SobelFilter tag, ContrastFilter tag, GaussianFilter tag, and SharpenFilter tag	Specifies the beginning and end of the filters that are applied to the DRR renderer.
SobelFilter	Scale and Blend	Specifies the Sobel filter.
