Job Builder¶
The job builder step in PlantCV Workflow Parallelization builds a list of image processing jobs.
plantcv.parallel.job_builder(meta, valid_meta, workflow, job_dir, out_dir, coprocess=None, other_args="", writeimg=False)
returns none
- Parameters:
- meta - Dictionary of processed image metadata
- valid_meta - Dictionary of valid metadata keys
- workflow - PlantCV image processing workflow script file
- job_dir - Intermediate file output directory
- out_dir - Output images directory
- coprocess - Coprocess the specified imgtype with the imgtype specified in meta_filters (default: None)
- other_args - String of additional arguments to be passed to the workflow script (default: "")
- writeimg - Boolean that specifies whether output images should be created or not (default: False)
- Context:
- This step is built into the PlantCV Workflow Parallelization feature. It builds a list of image processing jobs which is the input for the multiprocess step in workflow parallelization.
