Template Editor
1) Start a new project from the AAMToolbox control panel
Tutorial on starting a new project
Notice that one of the images copied into the project has been co-opted as an icon representing the project.
Once the template has been added, a second icon will be automatically created that represents the template itself.
2) Select an image on which to base the template
Select the Template Editor from the AAMToolbox control panel. Then, from the Template Editor menu select New Template. This will open the directory of Cropped images and allow you to select one on which to base the template. 
Idea: From the Templates menu, Templates (and associated images) can be copied from other, existing, projects. |
 The new template will be based on this image. |
3) Create a new Template using the Template Editor
When the template is correct 'Quit (and Save)' using the button, bottom right. |
|
4) Choose a template using the AAMToolbox control panel
Having created a template it should be selected using the AAMToolbox main interface, 'Choose Template'.
Once the template has been added, a second icon will be automatically created that represents the template itself. Here it is the red smiling face.
Notice:
- The name of the current working project, top left
- The template name together with the number of points
- The current set of points (that will be selected automatically)
- The current list of images (that will be selected automatically)
- Most importantly, these details are summarised in the Listbox. Each model that is created will be associated with an entry in this listbox.
- The next step is to move the point model into position over each of the images using the Point Model Editor.
