Unblur & Summovie

item removed. solved.

Hello,

I'm running 32 unblur movie alignments on a single machine (128 vCPUs on AWS instance x1.32xlarge) and I keep running into errors that pop up randomly related to the temporary files written out by unblur.

An example of the error message:

2017-10-10 15:28:51: Fatal error (UsefulFunctions::FileCopy): File exists but cannot be opened: .UnBlur_S6XFugQHyDU7jmnv ; file not found, unit 20, file /data/.UnBlur_S6XFugQHyDU7jmnv

I use FoilHole_18051246_Data_18043800_18043801_20170519_0130_Fractions.mrc as a input file. which have 39 frames. The result show there is a very big shift between each frame. I am not sure if I did wrong or the data is too poor?

Hi all:

I am now trying unblur_openmp_7_17_15.exe and sum_movie_openmp_7_17_15.exe for motion correction. After process my image movie stack (test_movie.mrc as input),I can get four sum images:

#1:sum image without dose-filter from unblur: test_movie_ubl_sum.mrc

#2:sum image with dose-filter from unblur: test_movie_ubl_DF.mrc

#3:dose-filter image from sum_movie: test_movie_ubl_sum_DF.mrc

#4:restore-noise-power image from sum_movie after dose-filter: test_movie_ubl_sum_RNP.mrc

Hi, we are trying to re-compile unblur from source in order to get the drift_filter option mentioned by Alexis some time ago in the ccpem forum. However, we run into error message (attached the full log file). We tried to use both F77=ifort F77=gfortran compilers but without success. Could you please let me know if a specific compiler is required or there something else that is not working properly?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi,

I've used unblur for whole frame alignment, and I'd like to try polishing in relion (but I only generated the aligned sums initially, not aligned stacks).

I still have the shifts files, so I'd like to use them with sum_movie to generate aligned stacks, to speed up the process and ensure that the overall alignment is identical (which I am not 100% sure is guaranteed if I run unblur again to do so).

Thoughts/suggestions?

Cheers

We are collecting some test data on new samples at home on our TF20 with
a CMOS 4K camera, and I wondered if there is software available that will
do dose correction on single micrographs, as opposed to movie frames in a
stack file? For smaller particles, it is useful to collect images with
about 30-35 e/A2, for better contrast and alignment, but can I dose correct
the images?

Dear all,

We recently ran into trouble with long input/output path names, so I made a quick test to reproduce the problem.
I used Unblur 1.0.2 on CentOS releaser 6.5 (Final)

When I use an input file name of >= 178 characters and an output file name of >= 201 characters it fails,
but with an input file name of <= 177 characters and an output file name of <= 200 characters it works quite nice.

I attached the last working and the first failing log file of the test.

I wonder if there is a length limitiation for the filenames in unblur and

Hi

I was wondering if there is any further reading for the expert options that are used during full-frame motion correction . I would like to understand the definitions
of these options as I am new to using Unblur

Hi,

I'm using unblur (by itself, not with summovie) to output aligned averages. I have encountered a dataset that seems particularly problematic where a lot of the stacks seem like they get a couple of misaligned frames (example attached), but when I check the shifts file, all the shifts seem reasonable... Is this artifact not due to frame misalignment?
