What does 'Particle threshold' mean in TOPAZ Extract job

I am extracting particles from micrograph using "Topaz Extract’ job. As shown in the figure below, there is a parameter called ‘particle threshold’. Increasing the value of it decreases the number of particles picked. What does that parameter stand for? Is there a better documentation to understand it?

Hi @Ashwin-Dhakal ,

I think the parameter is nicely documented here: https://guide.cryosparc.com/processing-data/all-job-types-in-cryosparc/deep-picking/topaz/job-topaz-extract-beta
