Store to cache

The store image to cache command stores an actual image at any time to the cache. Image cache allows using a preprocessed image as base for further preprocessing steps in an other pipeline or in the same pipeline in a future step. Possible applications might be to preprocess a background for subtraction and use this preprocessed background together with the image math subtract command in other pipelines to remove it.
Storage scope
The storage scope defines either if the cached image is only available in the pipeline the command is used Iteration
or if the stored image can also be used across different pipelines Pipeline
.
The memory slots M0
to M10
can be used twice once for Iteration
and once for Pipeline
cache.
Note
Once an image is stored to the cache it is not edited any more. Loading from the cache creates a new local copy of the image and the pipeline is working on this local copy but not on the cached image.
