Hi all,
@olibclarke thanks for reporting this and figuring it out. Indeed in inspect picks we do have a step where the range of the power scores is computed to set the slider limits, and it’s set to exclude “outliers” - in cases where there are artefacts or strong contaminants in the dataset, a few very bright/dark spots across all the micrographs can cause very large values in the power score, and the histogram display and slider would become unusable if we were to set the range to simply the min and max values.
Clearly our outlier step is excluding some good particles in cases where there really are no outliers (like in the case of the Topaz wrapper, where the power score is not actually the cryoSPARC local power score but that column is filled in with the Topaz pick probability value).
We have changed this behaviour so that the slider range is now 2x the range from the 1st to 99th percentile of the values. This should ensure we keep all particles while still excluding (very) extreme outliers. The change is for both inspect picks and Live.
This will be out in the next patch, planned for release tomorrow.
Thanks,
Ali
