Export Images

Exporting classified seed images organized by class

The Export Images screen extracts individual seed images from your analysis file and saves them as standalone image files organized into folders by classification class. This is useful for building training datasets, documenting defects, or sharing results.

Prerequisites

• An analysis file with completed AI classification and captured images.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Select Export Mode

Choose which seeds to export:

Mode	Description
All Classes	Exports every classified seed image
Only OK	Exports only seeds classified as acceptable
Only Defective	Exports only seeds classified as defective

2. Configure Organization

• Group by Class: When enabled, images are organized into subfolders named after each classification category (e.g., OK/, Black/, Sour/). When disabled, all images are placed in a single folder.

• Apply Duplicate Removal: When enabled, similarity-based deduplication is applied before export, excluding near-duplicate images.

3. Choose Single or Batch Processing

Mode	Description
Single File	Exports images from the currently open analysis file
Batch (Folder)	Exports images from all .hdf5 files in a selected folder

4. Run the Export

Click Export Images to begin. A progress bar tracks the number of images being written.

For large analysis files with thousands of seeds, the export can take several minutes. The progress bar shows the file count as images are written to disk.

5. View the Output

When complete, the application can automatically open the output folder. Exported images are saved in a subfolder next to the source analysis file.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Possible Cause	Solution
Export button is disabled	No analysis file with images is open	Record images and run AI Classification first
No images exported	All seeds were filtered out by the selected mode	Change the export mode to "All Classes"
Duplicate removal removes too many	Strict mode is too aggressive for your dataset	Disable duplicate removal or use a lighter setting
Export is very slow	Thousands of high-resolution images	This is expected; wait for the process to complete
