cryoCOFI

Overview

cryoCOFI (CarbOn FIlm detector for cryo-EM images) is a script designed for cryo-EM images & cryo-ET tomograms to detect carbon films and get rid of particles inside them.

Features

• Carbon film detection and particle screening in cryo-EM images
• Improved algorithm for edge detection (Bilateral filter + Canny detector, aka Bicanny)
• Integration with Dynamo (.doc and .tbl files) & cryoSPARC
• GPU-accelerated image processing using CuPy and CUDA

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• CUDA-compatible GPU
  • CUDA Toolkit 11.1 or later
  • NVIDIA GPU Driver supporting CUDA 12.2 or later
• CuPy, >=13.3.0
• NumPy, >=2.0.2
• pandas, >=2.2.3
