Command Line Interface#

If you installed pycudadecon using conda, the original binaries for OTF generation (radialft) and deconvolution (cudaDeconv) will also be installed in your conda environment.

cudaDeconv#

The cudaDeconv command runs deconvolution (with deskewing and rotation if desired) on all of the files in the --input-dir whose names match the pattern --filename-pattern, using the OTF specified by --otf-arg.

Examples#

# deconvolve a folder of images
cudaDeconv /folder/of/images 488nm /path/to/488nm_otf.tif -z 0.3

# a typical lattice experiment might also add the deskew flag and maybe MIPs
cudaDeconv /folder/of/images 488nm /path/to/488nm_otf.tif -z 0.3 -D 31.5 -M 0 0 1

Run cudaDeconv --help at the command prompt for the full menu of options

radialft#

The radialft command turns a 3D PSF volume into a radially-averaged 2D complex OTF file that can be used by cudaDeconv.

Examples#

radialft /path/to/psf_file.tif /path/to/new_otf_file.tif --fixorigin 10 --nocleanup
