Hello,
I am processing EMPIAR10495 with cryosparc v3.1.0. According to the diagnostic image below, the thresholded cross correlation is able to recognize all filaments in the image. However, the pruned skeleton only contain a few filament. What parameters should I change to get more filaments picked?
Here are my parameters:
Hey @Chen,
By a coincidence, I had actually processed this dataset a few months ago – I found that the cc map looks like it’s finding filaments but there are “bumps” in the filaments that make it disjointed after thresholding. I actually got better results using the template-free tracing option, with minimum/maximum filament diameters of 140 Å and 180 Å respectively (without inputting any templates into the job). The template-free option just looks for line-like features in the micrograph, so its “unbiased” and also tends to do better when the filaments vary in their contrast.
I used the following parameters and it seemed to help:
The job does require some tuning per-dataset; hopefully this helps!
Best,
Michael
It worked with your parameters. Thank you so much.
