Okay, something has gone wrong, and you’re not quite sure what to do.

Here are some good steps.

• Go back and run the demos
  • Analyze-a-small-image
  • Analyze-a-bigger-image

If those don’t work, it’s unlikely that anything else will work, so you need to fix this first. Good things to try here are:

• Check if there are updates to Python and the packages
  • See the last update step on the install Python page
  • try the demos
• Check if the Python_MyoVision program has been updated
  • open the Python_MyoVision repository in GitHub Desktop and check for updates
  • pull them to your desktop if there are
  • retry your demos
• If that doesn’t help, consider
  • deleting the entire Python_MyoVision folder
  • starting again with a clean install
    • this should fix the problem if your files got disorganized

If the demos work, but you are running into other problems

• Try a simpler version of your task
  • If you are trying to analyze 30 image files
    • analyze just 1 instead
    • once that’s working, adjust your configuration file by adding more tasks
  • If you are trying to analyze a very big image
    • crop the image so that you just have 30 or 40 fibers
    • make sure you can analyze the small image first
  • Remember that Python_MyoVision dumps image files as it goes
    • use these to track the source of your problem
    • for example, if you can’t see robust edges in the Frangi filter image, the program won’t be able to perform a robust initial segmentation.
      • in this case, reading the documentation, will help you to see that changing the percent_saturation parameter in your configuration file might help.

If you’re still stuck, check whether somebody has alerted us to the same problem

• Go to the Python_MyoVision respository
  • Click on the Issues tab

If so, we know about it, and are probably working on it.
