These instructions are specific to XSEDE Bridges 2 but other resources can be used if cuda, python3, and a NVIDIA V100 GPU are present, in which case 'module load' instructions can be skipped, which are specific to Bridges 2.
Login to Bridges 2 via ssh using a Unix or Mac command line terminal. Login is available to Bridges 2 directly or through the XSEDE portal. Please see the Bridges 2 User's Guide.
Many tools are available for ssh access to Bridges 2. Please see Ubuntu, MobaXterm or PuTTY
Once you have logged into Bridges 2, you can follow one of two methods for installing iceberg-seals.
The lines below following a '$' are commands to enter (or cut and paste) into your terminal (note that all commands are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters are differentiated.) Everything following '#' are comments to explain the reason for the command and should not be included in what you enter. Lines that do not start with '$' or '[seals_env] $' are output you should expect to see.

You can download to your local machine and use scp, ftp, rsync, or Globus to transfer to Bridges 2.
Seals predicting is executed in two steps: First, follow the environment setup commands under 'To test' above. Then create tiles from an input GeoTiff image and write to the output_folder. The scale_bands parameter (in pixels) depends on the trained model being used. The default scale_bands is 224 for the pre-trained model downloaded above. If you use your own model the scale_bands may be different.
[iceberg_seals] $ iceberg_seals.tiling --input_image=<image_abspath> --output_folder=./test --bands='0' --stride=1.0 --patch_size=224 --geotiff=0
Then, detect seals on each tile and output counts and confidence for each tile.
