This page gives a introduction on how to get started with ImageDataExtractor. This assumes you already have ImageDataExtractor and ChemDataExtractor-IDE installed.
It's simplest to run ImageDataExtractor on an image file.
Open a python terminal and import the library with:
>>> import imagedataextractor as ide
Then run:
>>> ide.extract_image('<path/to/image/file>')
to perform the extraction.
This runs ImageDataExtractor on the image and outputs all extracted results to a single directory.
By default, the output from each image is stored in current working directory in the format <doc#>_<doi>_<figid>_<splitfig#>
To automatically extract microscopy images from a HTML or XML article, use the extract_document method instead:
>>> ide.extract_document('<path/to/document/file>')
And that's it!
ImageDataExtractor currently supports HTML documents from the Royal Society of Chemistry and XML files obtained using the Elsevier Developers Portal .
