Image restoration in sets of noisy electron micrographs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The imaging process in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) produces a number of artifacts including the contrast transfer function (CTF) and envelope functions. In addition, when electron cryomicroscopy is performed for purposes of single particle reconstruction, signal to noise ratios are very low, generally peaking between 0.1 and 1.0, and averaging 0.01 to 0.1. We apply a semi-empirical model of the microscope artifacts to optimally correct data used for 3D single particle reconstructions.

Binary image restoration at subpixel resolution
Recovery of object boundaries to subpixel accuracy is possible from digital images if su cient assumptions can be made. Subpixel restoration is of most relevance if an object is at the limit of resolution of a sensor, either being only a few pixels in size or having ne structure. A method is proposed for recovering a binary image from multilevel pixel values, which are modelled by a convolution...
متن کاملA Mixture-site Model for Edge-preserving Image Restoration
This paper summarizes a new Bayesian method for edge-preserving image restoration from noisy measurements. The line-site method of Geman and Geman forces region boundaries to lie along pixel boundaries, which is unnatural, particularly for 3D data. Here, we augment the intensity process with a binary “mixture site” process, which has one parameter for each pixel indicating the presence of a bou...
متن کاملA stochastic kinematic model of class averaging in single-particle electron microscopy
Single-particle electron microscopy is an experimental technique that is used to determine the 3D structure of biological macromolecules and the complexes that they form. In general, image processing techniques and reconstruction algorithms are applied to micrographs, which are two-dimensional (2D) images taken by electron microscopes. Each of these planar images can be thought of as a projecti...
متن کاملNoisy images edge detection: Ant colony optimization algorithm
The edges of an image define the image boundary. When the image is noisy, it does not become easy to identify the edges. Therefore, a method requests to be developed that can identify edges clearly in a noisy image. Many methods have been proposed earlier using filters, transforms and wavelets with Ant colony optimization (ACO) that detect edges. We here used ACO for edge detection of noisy ima...
متن کاملImage processing experiments for computer-based three-dimensional reconstruction of neurones from electron micrographs from serial ultrathin sections.
This study examined an image processing technique that uses a computer to reconstruct a three-dimensional image of neurones from electron micrographs of serial ultrathin sections. The major problems involved were: (a) a distortion of features in electron micrographs; (b) a significant change of cross-section features of neurones in electron micrographs of neighbouring sections; and (c) disagree...
