Nearest Neighbor Deconvolution Options

Use the Nearest Neighbor Deconvolution program to remove blur from optical sections. This program uses an approximate deconvolution approach. In most cases, Deconvolve is the preferred program for deconvolution.

Open Nearest Neighbor Deconvolution by choosing Process | Nearest Neighbor from the softWoRx menu.

Specify input data and output parameters as shown in Image Input and Output.

Deblurring

Set the deblurring factor. This scaling factor is applied to adjacent images before subtracting them from the image of interest. The default value is 0.9, on a scale of 0 to 1.

Enhancement

Set the enhancement value that determines how much high frequency enhancement is applied to the image being deconvolved. The default value is 0.0, on a scale of 0 to 1.

Smoothing

Set the smoothing value that controls how much low-pass filtration occurs during the blurring process. Decrease the smoothing value when working with noise-free data. The default value is 1.0, on a scale of 0 to 1.

Run Options

Specify options for running the Nearest Neighbor process. The following options are available:

 

  • Log File specifies the name of a file that holds an informational record of the Nearest Neighbor process.

  • Command File specifies the name of the command shell script to be used to run the process.

  • Run Options allows you to choose from three options that specify when the job will run. Run Now runs the job immediately after choosing the Do It button. Run Later creates a command shell script that is manually executed at a later time. Add To Queue puts the job at the end of a list of commands that are to be executed in order by the Queue Manager.

  • Show Output Log opens a window that shows the progress of the process.
