Python Template Matching Engine (PyTME)
Documentation | Installation | API
PyTME is a Python library for data-intensive n-dimensional template matching using CPUs and GPUs.
With its backend-agnostic design, the same code can be run on diverse hardware platforms using a best-of-breed approach. The underyling abstract backend specification allows for adding new backends to benefit from gains in performance and capabilities without modifying the library's core routines. The implementation of template matching scores is modular and provides developers with a flexible framework for rapid prototyping. Furthermore, pyTME supports a unique callback capability through analyzers, which allows for injection of custom code, enabling real-time processing and manipulation of results.
PyTME includes a graphical user interface that provides simplified mask creation, interactive filter exploration, result visualization, and manual refinement capabilities. This GUI serves as an accessible entry point to the library's core functionalities, allowing users to efficiently interact with and analyze their data.
Finally, pyTME offers specialized tools for cryogenic electron microscopy data, such as wedge masks, CTF correction, as well as means for handling structural data.
