Usage

Estimate the CTF from a micrograph. The PSD of the micrograph is first estimated using periodogram averaging or ARMA models ( See article). Then, the PSD is enhanced ( See article). And finally, the CTF is fitted to the PSD, being guided by the enhanced PSD ( See article).

Parameters

$``: File with the micrograph $--oroot <rootname>

PSD estimation $--psd_estimator &lt;methodperiodogram> where <method> can be:

    • $--pieceDim &lt;d512> $--overlap &lt;o0.5> $--Nsubpiece &lt;N1> =: Each piece is further subdivided intoNxN subpieces. This option is useful for small micrographs in which not many pieces of size pieceDim x pieceDim can be defined. Note that this is not the same as defining a smaller pieceDim. Defining a smaller pieceDim, would result in a small PSD, while subdividing the piece results in a large PSD, although smoother. $--mode &lt;modemicrograph> where <mode> can be:

CTF fit $``: Do not fit a CTF to PSDs

ARMA models $--N_AR &lt;N24> $--M_AR &lt;N24> $--N_MA &lt;N20> $--M_MA &lt;N20>

CTF fit: Optimization constraints $--min_freq &lt;fmin0.03> $--max_freq &lt;fmax0.35> $--defocus_range &lt;D8000> $: Show optimization process $: By default, noise is astigmatic $--enhance_weight &lt;w1> $--model_simplification &lt;s0> $--bootstrapFit &lt;N-1>

CTF fit: Output CTF models $--ctfmodelSize &lt;size256>

PSD enhancement $: Bandpass cutoff. Normalized to 0.5 If fmax>0.35, f1 default=0.01 If fmax<0.35, f1 default=0.02 $: Bandpass cutoff. Normalized to 0.5. If fmax>0.35, f2 default=0.08 If fmax<0.35, f2 default=0.15
