spoke_pattern.py

This script can be used to create a "spoke pattern" image in the style of the ones featured in the following paper:

Downing K.H., Glaeser R.M., Restoration of weak phase-contrast images recorded with a high degree of defocus: The "twin image" problem associated with CTF correction, Ultramicroscopy 108 (2008), 921-928

All tweakable parameters are defined in the first lines of the script, which can be edited before the script is executed. The script generates the image, opens a viewer to show it and saves it in the current folder with the name specified by the user.

Usage:

 dng spoke_pattern.py <output image> 



import math
import sys
import ost.img.alg

# Tweakable parameters
wedge_start = 20 # Width of wedge at the narrower point
wedge_end = 500 # Width of wedge at the broader point
number_of_bands = 11 # Number of alternating bands (must be odd)
size_of_image_x = 500 # Size of the image (X)
size_of_image_y = 500 # Size of the image (Y)
pixel_sampling = 1.0 * Units.A # Pixel width
threshold = 2.0 * Units.A # Threshold for low pass filtering
amplitude = 255 # amplitude of the obscillations

# Image is created
image=img.CreateImage(img.Size(size_of_image_x,size_of_image_y))

image.SetSpatialSampling(pixel_sampling)

# For a cleaner code, 4 shorthands are defined

# Wedge is written in the image
for y in range (start_y,end_y+1):

  for x in range (start_x,end_x+1):
    half_wedge=wedge_width/2.0
    outer_bands=(number_of_bands-1)/2
    factor=(0.5+outer_bands)*math.pi/half_wedge
    if float(x)>-half_wedge and float(x)<half_wedge:
      value=255*math.cos(float(x)*factor)
      image.SetReal(img.Point(x,y),value)

# Image is low-pass filtered

image.ApplyIP(filter)

# Viewer is launched to show the result
