Dear Carlos Oscar and Dimitry,
Unfortunately, you seem to have missed the point of our Afanasyev 2015
paper. Our paper does not try to duplicate the "experimentally
determined Gain image" but tries to normalize the signal from each pixel
to the same average and the same standard deviation at the exposure and
contrast level that the data set was recorded. Our approach typically
improves significantly on standard "/a priori/" flat field/gain
corrections.
We are not directly interested in generic "gain images" as such and we
certainly do not generate "gain images" that have an inverted contrast
when compared to the other ones you have in Figure #1 of your paper.
Your comments on our methods are thus not appropriate: "/T//o the best
of our knowledge, the only article that addresses a similar problem is
that of Afanasyev //et al.//(2015). In their work, they assimilate the
gain of the camera to the standard deviation of each pixel over a large
number of movies, and they prove this is a successful way of identifying
dead pixels. However, our results show that this approach does not
provide a consistent gain estimation (Fig. 1)/."
What you call our "gain image" is - apart from an erroneous contrast
reversal - actually more similar to the "official" gain image in your
Fig 1 than does the one generated with your proposed algorithm. I would
be interested in knowing what the R2 turns out to be after you correct
the contrast reversal since it visually is better than yours. It would
be nice if you could respond to this mailing including that
information!? By the way how exactly is this R2 metric defined (I could
not find it anywhere in the paper)?
I would want to suggest you and your colleagues to use the FRC metric to
prove that your approach does indeed remove the influence of the various
patterns of your detectors exhibits.
My two cents
