Lines Detection: Use of the Radon Transform



 The classical approach to detect lines in an image is the Hough Transform. Here I'll present another alternative based on the Radon Transform (seen in my Learning Tomography series [see TOC]).

Model bias in cryo-EM - Einstein from noise

 
 
 
In the article of Maxim Shatsky et al.  entitled "A Method for the Alignment of Heterogeneous Macromolecules from Electron Microscopy" (J Struct Biol. 2009, 166(1): 67–78. doi:10.1016/j.jsb.2008.12.008.), the authors show that pure noise images aligned to a reference image give an average image resembling the reference. This is a perfect example of the model bias occurring during the 2D classification step. Let's do it!!!
