Figure 1
Normal probability plots for 5000 images. A 5000-image subset of the data was merged using protocol 3. During each step of the parameter refinement, a normal probability plot was generated (a). The rankits (equation 12) are plotted versus the sorted normalized deviations from the mean (equation 11). Each line represents one step during refinement and is colored using a rainbow color map from red (early steps) to blue (late steps). This is a non-gain-corrected data set. (b) Enlargement of the central area of (a) used to compute the slope and offset for initialization of the parameters. (c) As (a) but with a gain-corrected data set, in which each pixel was divided by 25. (d) As (b) for the central area of (c). |
