%'sub_background': substract a sliding background to an image series %------------------------------------------------------------------------ % Method: %calculate the background image by sorting the luminosity of each point % over a sliding sub-sequence of 'nbaver_ima' images. % The luminosity value of rank 'rank' is selected as the % 'background'. rank=nbimages/2 gives the median value. Smaller values are appropriate % for a dense set of particles. The extrem value rank=1 gives the true minimum % luminosity, but it can be polluted by noise. % Organization of image indices: % The program is working on a series of images, % The processing can be done over groups of nbfield2 consecutive files in slices (parameter NbSlice) % In the mode 'volume', nbfield2=1 (1 image at each level)and NbSlice (=nbfield_j) % Else nbfield2=nbfield_j =nbre of images in a burst (j index) % function GUI_config=sub_background(Param) % %%%%%%%%%%% GENERAL TO ALL SERIES ACTION FCTS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % This function is used in four modes by the GUI series: % 1) config GUI: with no input argument, the function determine the suitable GUI configuration % 2) interactive input: the function is used to interactively introduce input parameters, and then stops % 3) RUN: the function itself runs, when an appropriate input structure Param has been introduced. % 4) BATCH: the function itself proceeds in BATCH mode, using an xml file 'Param' as input. % %OUTPUT % GUI_series_config=list of options in the GUI series.fig needed for the function % %INPUT: % In run mode, the input parameters are given as a Matlab structure Param copied from the GUI series. % In batch mode, Param is the name of the corresponding xml file containing the same information % In the absence of input (as activated when the current Action is selected % in series), the function ouput GUI_series_config set the activation of the needed GUI elements % % Param contains the elements:(use the menu bar command 'export/GUI config' in series to see the current structure Param) % .InputTable: cell of input file names, (several lines for multiple input) % each line decomposed as {RootPath,SubDir,Rootfile,NomType,Extension} % .OutputSubDir: name of the subdirectory for data outputs % .OutputDirExt: extension for the directory for data outputs % .Action: .ActionName: name of the current activated function % .ActionPath: path of the current activated function % .IndexRange: set the file or frame indices on which the action must be performed % .FieldTransform: .TransformName: name of the selected transform function % .TransformPath: path of the selected transform function % .TransformHandle: corresponding function handle % .InputFields: sub structure describing the input fields withfields % .FieldName: name of the field % .VelType: velocity type % .FieldName_1: name of the second field in case of two input series % .VelType_1: velocity type of the second field in case of two input series % .ProjObject: %sub structure describing a projection object (read from ancillary GUI set_object) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% function ParamOut=sub_background (Param) %% input preparation mode (no RUN) if isstruct(Param) && isequal(Param.Action.RUN,0) ParamOut.AllowInputSort='off';...% allow alphabetic sorting of the list of input file SubDir (options 'off'/'on', 'off' by default) ParamOut.WholeIndexRange='on';...% prescribes the file index ranges from min to max (options 'off'/'on', 'off' by default) ParamOut.NbSlice='on';
