eeDAP: Evaluation Environment for Digital and Analog Pathology, V. Output File
V. Output File
An “Output_Files” folder will be created in the folder where the input file is located. eeDAP writes to this folder the for experiment output files (file extension .dapso). The naming convention is “Mode.ReaderName.Date .InputFileRootName.dapso”. eeDAP also writes to a subfolder (name similar to output file) images captured by the microscope’s camera and WSI depending on the setting of "saveimages" in input file . The images captured are taken when the task is completed, and the Administrator selects the “Next” button, advancing to the next task. The captured images provide further opportunities for verification of registration and other considerations.
eeDAP Output files are very similar in appearance to input files. They are comma delimited and have a Header (mostly free-text) and Body (comma-separated variables). Refer to the Input File section for basics on the content of the Output file and instructions for opening and editing the Output file. Once this file is open the header will be displayed. Much of this information should be repetitive from the input file’s header.
The main differences between the Input file and the Output file are as follows:
- TheHeaderbegins with the Output file filename, which specifies the reading mode, reader name, date, time and the input file name
study tasks: keep input contains in input file and additional column for the task duration (amount of time the reader spent on each task in recorded in seconds) and some other columns related to the reader’s answers (different for different kinds of task).
