Calibrate and deskew an acquisition, optionally deconvolving it. Saves uint16 output beside the acquisition by default.
With --deconvolve, 3D scan refinement is inferred from recorded spacing toward
0.4 micrometers. For example, a 1.2 micrometer acquisition uses factor 3. Already
finer acquisitions retain their spacing; coarser steps must be integer multiples
of 0.4 micrometers.
Measured PSFs must be sampled at the inferred reconstruction spacing.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--deconvolve |
Apply RLGC deconvolution before deskewing. |
--flatfield-correction |
Include illumination in the deconvolution measurement model, or divide calibrated data by it when deconvolution is disabled. |
--save-float32 |
Preserve fractional intensities in float32 output. |
--skip-empty-below VALUE |
Zero channel tiles with insufficient signal above this intensity. |
--skip-empty-min-signal-fraction VALUE |
Required fraction above the cutoff; default 0.01. |
--resume |
Continue compatible completed tiles. If omitted, partial outputs offer Resume / Overwrite / Cancel (default: Cancel); completed outputs are overwritten. |
--output PATH |
Set the output directory. |
--live PATH |
Process during acquisition using a supplied CYX illumination TIFF; pass the acquisition directory. |
--live-wait |
Wait for successful live completion and all raw tiles, then process offline. Combine with --flatfield-correction to estimate missing illumination. Mutually exclusive with --live; pass the acquisition directory. |
--time-range START STOP |
Select timepoints. |
--pos-range START STOP |
Select positions. |
--z-downsample-level VALUE |
Deskewed Z reduction factor; default 2. |
--crop-after-deskew |
Crop Y to the region supported across all Z planes. |
--no-max-projection |
Disable per-tile and stage-placed maximum-Z images. |
--no-create-fused-max-projection |
Disable the stage-placed maximum-Z mosaic. |
--write-fused-max-projection-tiff |
Also save that mosaic as OME-TIFF. |
--decon-crop-scan VALUE |
Set scan planes per deconvolution chunk; default automatic. |
--decon-gpu-id VALUE |
Select the CUDA device; default 0. |
--decon-verbose VALUE |
Opt-in solver diagnostics: default 0 (off); 1 reports chunk geometry and iterations. |
--decon-fallback-step-scan VALUE |
Set chunk reduction after GPU allocation failure. |
--decon-psf-paths PATH |
Supply channel-ordered PSFs; repeat for each channel. |
--eager-mode |
Legacy planar KL-stopping option; has no effect with MATLAB-default GC stopping. |
uv run process "/path/to/acquisition" --deconvolve --flatfield-correctionStart before acquisition finishes, without a precomputed illumination file:
uv run process "/path/to/acquisition-directory" --live-wait --flatfield-correction --deconvolveSee the live acquisition guide for required controller sidecars and completion behavior.
Append --help to list all options and defaults.
The photon-GC solver revision is recorded with the processing configuration. Resume rejects incompatible solver configurations; start a fresh output or intentionally overwrite instead. Processing without deconvolution retains its existing calibration and flatfield behavior.
