Figure 6
Comparison of a homography model and non-rigid registration to correct for beam-induced movements. Two different series are shown. Panels (a) and (b) show in red the motion vectors of gold particles tracked between the first and the tenth image for the series that was also used in Figs. 4, 5 and 7. All vectors are magnified five times. Panel (a) shows in blue the displacement landscape employing a rigid homography model. This model cannot accurately describe all the observed motions (e.g. upper left corner); the resulting RMSE between the observed and modeled gold particle positions is 5.4 pixels. Panel (b) shows, in blue, the displacement landscape for the non-rigid registration. The empty white areas in the corners represent those pixels for which no correction could be made (see also Fig. 5). Panels (c) and (d) show the displacement landscape for another series. Panel (c) displays the homography model (RMSE is 4.4 pixels); the non-rigid registration is shown in panel (d). |
