Detect Schools dialog box

The Detect Schools dialog box is used to detect 2D schools on the current single beam Sv echogram.

To display the Detect Schools dialog box:

  1. On the Echogram menu, click Detect Schools... (to detect schools in the entire echogram).

- OR -

  1. Make a selection (to detect schools in a selection).
  2. On the Shortcut menu (right-click), click Detect Schools...

Description

Assign Class

Specify the region class to be assigned to detected schools.

Edit Region Classes...

Click to open the Classes page of the EV File Properties dialog box where you can create a new region class or edit an existing class.

Delete existing 2D regions with this class first

When selected, all 2D regions with the assigned region class are deleted from the selection or echogram before school detection begins.

Run classification after detection

When selected, detected regions are classified according to the rules specified on the Region Classification page of the EV File Properties dialog box.

When no classification rules are specified, this setting is unavailable. The setting is also supported by the Command interface and EvApplication.Exec().

Detection configuration

Select the school detection configuration to use.

Edit Region Detection Configurations...

Opens the Region Detection page of the EV File Properties dialog box, where you can create and manage single beam school detection configurations.

Set as preferred detection configuration for this variable

Select to set the selected Detection configuration as the preferred school detection configuration for this variable. This updates the preferred configuration on the Regions page of the Variable Properties dialog box. A variable-level preference overrides the EV-file-level preferred configuration.

Detect

Click to start the school detection process. The detection of schools in large EV files may take some time.

Notes:

  • Exclusion settings on the Analysis page of the Variable Properties dialog box also affect school detection.
  • Set appropriate data thresholds on the Data page of the Variable Properties dialog box before detecting schools. If no data thresholds are set, Echoview warns that school detection will likely identify schools that are larger than intended. You can continue with detection or cancel and set the thresholds.
