Thus, it is mainly used as a post-processing step after particle picking in which coordinates selected in high contrast artefacts, such as carbon, will be ruled out. Additionally, it can be employed to generate binary masks so that particle pickers can be prevented from considering problematic regions.
Thus, micrograph_cleaner employs as a mandatory argument a(some) micrograph(s) fileneame(s) and the particle size in pixels (with respect input mics). Additionally it can recive as input:A directory where picked coordinates are located and another directory where scored/cleaned coordiantes will be saved. Coordinates will be saved in pos format or plain text (columns whith header colnames x and y) are located.
There must be one different coordinates file for each micrograph named as the micrograph and the output coordiantes will preserve the naming.E.g. -c path/to/inputCoordsDirectory/ -o /path/to/outputCoordsDirectory/Allowed formats are xmipp pos, relion star and raw text tab separated with at least two columns named as xcoor, ycoor in the header.
Raw text file example:micFname1.tab:
###########################################

431  4341  0  0.2
323  321  1  0.213
###########################################A directory where predicted masks will be saved (mrc format).
E.g. --predictedMaskDir path/where/predictedMasksWillBeSaved/A downsampling factor (can be less than 1 if actually upsampling was performed) in case the coordinates where picked from
micrographs at different scale.
E.g. -s 2 will downsample coordinates by a factor 2 and then it will apply the predicted mask that is as big as the input micrographs. This
case corresponds to an example in which we use for particle picking raw micrographs but we are using MicrographCleaner with downsampled micsAny combination of previous options.Trained MicrographCleaner model is available athttp://campins.cnb.csic.es/micrograph_cleaner/and can be automatically download executingcleanMics --downloadBeware that if you installed micrograph_cleaner using pip/source, then CUDA and cudnn libraries should be

mask given a micrograph.class micrograph_cleaner_em.MaskPredictorUsage: predicts masks of shape HxW given one numpy array of shape HxW that represents a micrograph.
Mask values range from 0. to 1., being 0. associated to clean regions  and 1. to contamination.buildermicrograph_cleaner_em.MaskPredictor(boxSize, deepLearningModelFname=DEFAULT_PATH , gpus=[0], strideFactor=2)
    
    :param boxSize (int): estimated particle boxSize in pixels
    :param deepLearningModelFname (str): a path where the deep learning model will be loaded. DEFAULT_PATH="~/.local/share/micrograph_cleaner_em/models/defaultModel.keras"
    :param gpus (list of gpu ids (ints) or None): If None, CPU only mode will be employed.
    :param strideFactor (int): Overlapping between windows. Micrographs are divided into patches and each processed individually.
                         The overlapping factor indicates how many times a given row/column is processed by the network. The 
                         bigger the better the predictions, but higher computational cost.methodspredictMask(self, inputMic, preproDownsampleMic=1, outputPrecision=np.float32):
    Obtains a contamination mask for a given inputMic

    :param inputMic (np.array shape HxW): the micrograph to clean
    :param preproDownsampleMic: the downsampling factor applied to the micrograph before processing. Make it bigger if
                   large carbon areas are not identified
    :param outputPrecision: the type of the floating point number desired as input. Default float32
    :return: mask (np.array shape HxW): a mask that ranges from 0. to 1. ->
                   0. meaning clean area and 1. contaminated area.getDownFactor(self):
    MaskPredictor preprocess micrographs before Nnet computation. First step is donwsampling using a donwsampling factor
    that depends on particle boxSize. This function computes the downsampling factor
    
    :return (float): the donwsampling factor that MaskPredictor uses internally when preprocessing the micrographs
