Getting Started

Loading Data

1. Load the calibration file (.txt). These are in the form of the original JointTrack calibration files.
2. Load fluoroscopic images (.tif). Select every image for which you are trying to perform kinematic analysis.
3. Load 3D implant models (.stl). These should correspond to each of the models in the image you are analyzing.

Neural Networks

1. Along the top bar, select "SEGMENT"->"SEGMENT FEMORAL IMPLANT" (name will change in the future). This opens up a dialogue box that asks for a path to a trained neural network (.pt). These files are loaded in during installation and are located in JointTrackMachineLearning/bin/networks.
2. The program will appear frozen until the network has run each of the images through the forward pass. It shouldn't be frozen, just give it some time to run through all the images.

Optimizer

1. To open the optimizer settings, click "SETTINGS"->"OPTIMIZER SETTINGS". This gives you the choice to select the cost function that will be used and the parameter values for evaluating that cost. See Best Practices for specific implementation details.
2. To run the optimizer, use any of the buttons along the left hand side of the screen (Optimize, Optimizer All, Optimize Each, Optimize From). See Optimizer Details for how each of these buttons operates.
