torch-ctf-estimation

Contrast transfer function estimation for cryo-EM images in PyTorch.

Overview

torch-ctf-estimation fits defocus, astigmatism, and (optionally) sample thickness from a micrograph power spectrum.

  • 1D defocus on the mean spectrum, then 2D defocus / astigmatism on patches
  • Spatial defocus as a spline grid or a linear tilt model
  • 1D thickness grid search against a thickness-modulated CTF, with optional joint defocus+thickness refinement (1D scalar or 2D field)
  • Laser phase plate (LPP) CTF support via torch-ctf

This package is the algorithm: estimate_ctf (defocus only) and estimate_ctf_and_thickness (defocus + thickness) are self-contained compositions of the lower-level primitives, usable directly from notebooks, tests, or another program. Downstream tools can chain these primitives differently and add optics / metrics file I/O.

Installation

This package is part of the TeamTomo monorepo. See the main repository README for development setup instructions.

Usage

import torch
from torch_ctf_estimation import estimate_ctf
from torch_ctf_estimation.models import CTFFittingParams, OpticalParams

image = torch.randn(1024, 1024)
optical = OpticalParams(
    pixel_spacing_angstroms=1.0,
    voltage_kev=300.0,
    spherical_aberration_mm=2.7,
    amplitude_contrast_fraction=0.07,
)
fitting = CTFFittingParams(
    defocus_grid_resolution=(1, 3, 3),
    frequency_fit_range_angstroms=(30.0, 5.0),
    defocus_range_microns=(0.5, 5.0),
    patch_sidelength=128,
)
mean_ps, result1d, result2d = estimate_ctf(image, optical, fitting)

To also estimate sample thickness, use estimate_ctf_and_thickness with a ThicknessParams:

from torch_ctf_estimation import estimate_ctf_and_thickness
from torch_ctf_estimation.models import ThicknessParams

thickness = ThicknessParams(refine_dim="2d")
result = estimate_ctf_and_thickness(image, optical, fitting, thickness)
result.result2d, result.thickness1d, result.thickness_joint
