@wtempel The discrepency is because the RBMC job was done on exported “Live exposures” which had some micrograph thrown out during the live process while the import job was done separately with header check to check if it throws out movies with inconsistent frames as mentioned earlier in this post.
Small update: Ultimately, I processed the “imported movies with header check” which resulted in 0 movies being failed. Moreover, it didn’t throw any inconsistent frames error when I used those movies in the subsequent RBMC job, which means that the live exposures should also have consistent frames.
While it didn’t complain about the frames, RBMC still threw out 9.86k movies with fewer than 2 particles.
If I turn off the recenter particles option off, then the number of movies thrown out reduces to 9.78k.
As a sanity check, I reextracted the particles (from the new processing) from the 30.6k imported movies to see if the number of micrographs being rejected is the same as the ones rejected by RBMC and found that it is different (4.57k vs 9.78k). So RBMC is rejecting approx 5.21 k movies with my particles for some reason (it says fewer than 2 particles).
