TF DNS - Transfer Function - determine and Delete NoiSe background

(10/23/96)

PURPOSE

Calculate the noise background from 1D profile of power spectrum and correct it. The background is assumed to be a Gaussian profile a1*exp[-(k/a2)**2]+a3. The output file is used by 'TF DEV' for envelope function fitting.

USAGE

.OPERATION: TF DNS

.IMAGE FILE: ro008
[Enter name of file containing 1D profile of power spectrum.]

.MAXIMUM SP. FREQ [A-1]: 0.104
[Enter the spatial frequency limit in units of 1/Angstroems. The maximum spatial frequency is 1/(2*pixel).]

.SEARCH NEIGHBOUR AREA [POINT]: 5
[Enter the local distance for defining minima.]

.CHANGE SEARCHING NEIGHBOUR (Y/N): n
[Normally the number of minima can be judged by eye. So, the SEARCH NEIGHBOUR AREA can be changed to get the number of minima that you expect.]

.HOW MANY POINTS DO YOU WANT?: 3
[Enter the number of minima that you wish to include.]

.INPUT THE POINT YOU WANT:

.POINT # 1: R [point]=?: 72.90221
[Enter the radius of the minimum, which is found in the second column of the list of all the minima found by the program.]

.POINT # 2: R [point]=?: 100.4
[Enter the radius of the second minimum.]

.POINT # 3: R [point]=?: 120.9
[Enter the radius of the third minimum.]

If only one minimum is included in the calculation, the following question is asked:

.SUPPLY A2 VALUE [A-1]: : .05
[Enter the halfwidth of the Gaussian noise profile. This value is similar for all the micrographs recorded under the same conditions. Thus, it can be guessed from other calculations with more than minima. Or, it can be guestimated by checking the output file.]

.OUTPUT FILE: rod008
[Enter name of file to store 1D profile with noise background correction.]

NOTES

  1. The noise background is assumed to be a Gaussian profile. The background-corrected 1D profile has all the minima brought down to zero without changing the positions of the minima.
