=========================

[](#biigle-laserpoints-module)

[![Test status](https://github.com/biigle/laserpoints/workflows/Tests/badge.svg)](https://github.com/biigle/laserpoints/actions?query=workflow%3ATests)

This is the BIIGLE module to perform a heuristic laser point detection on images.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This module is already included in [`biigle/biigle`](https://github.com/biigle/biigle).

1. Run `composer require biigle/laserpoints`.
2. Add `Biigle\Modules\Laserpoints\LaserpointsServiceProvider::class` to the `providers` array in `config/app.php`.
3. Run `php artisan vendor:publish --tag=public` to publish the public assets of this module.
4. Run `pip install -r vendor/biigle/laserpoints/requirements.txt` to install the Python requirements.
5. Configure a storage disk for the temporary laserpoints files `LASERPOINTS_DISK` variable to the name of this storage disk in the `.env` file. Example for a local disk: ```
    'laserpoints' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('framework/cache/laserpoints'),
    ],
    ```
