Thanks Gotz - showing me a new set of criteria to judge by. With the same 55-pic set I’m running numerous comparisons on:
Run 1: Default Align: 5 components of 25,11,4,2,3 imgs. The 25 one:
Total projections 36K, Av track length 2.8, Max error 2.0, Med error .54, Mean error .67
Run 2: Default Draft Align: 3 components of 40,5,3 imgs. The 40 one:
Total projections 40K, Av track length 3.4, Max error 85.0!, Med error .89, Mean error 1.3
Run 2 continued, re-run with Default Align: 3 components of 4,3,39 imgs. The 39 one:
Total projections 67K, Av track length 2.8, Max error 2.0, Med error .50, Mean error .63
Run 3: Align but with Wishgranter’s generally preferred settings i.e. Max features per image 80K, Background thread priority Normal, Preselector features 40K: 3 components of 4,41,2 imgs:
Total projections 49K, Av track length 2.8, Max error 2.0, Med error .61, Mean error .72
I can compare mean and median errors - all 3 runs look close - but have no idea whether those are good or poor in the scale of things - as well as the other figures reported (total projections, track length, max error).
Any guidance/interpretation would be much appreciated.
Next thing to puzzle over - Inspect!
