The present-day interactive manual selection of biological molecules from digitized micrographs for single particle averaging and reconstruction requires substantial effort and time. Thus a computer algorithm capable of recognition of structural content and selection of particles would be desirable. A few approaches have been proposed in the past. The method by Frank and Wagenknecht is based on the principle of correlation search. Van Heel's method is based on the computation of the local variance over a small area around each point of the image field. The method by Harauz and Fong- Lochovsky is based on edge-detection.
