Figure 6
Visual particle picking comparison on a representative micrograph from the low-signal EMPIAR 10532 dataset. Green plus signs denote ground-truth particle positions; red plus signs represent picking outputs of the template baseline; yellow circles indicate particles detected by CryoQSeg. Numerous faint, low-contrast true particles are successfully identified by CryoQSeg yet missed by template picking. Moreover, the template method frequently misclassifies contamination and ice-artifact regions as valid particles, while CryoQSeg largely avoids such false-positive predictions.
