A zoomed-in selected particle image before and after binary image cleaning and non-connected object removal on the image masks generated by the three base clustering methods. (a) Original zoomed-in particle image; (b) particle clustering image before binary image cleaning by k-means for the ribosome [28]; (c) particle clustering image after binary image cleaning by k-means for the ribosome [28]; (d) original zoomed-in particle image; (e) particle clustering image before binary image cleaning by FCM clustering for the ribosome [28]; (f) particle clustering image after binary image cleaning by FCM clustering for the ribosome [28]; (g) original zoomed-in particle image; (h) particle clustering image before binary image cleaning by IBC clustering for the ribosome [28]; (i) particle clustering image after binary image cleaning by IBC clustering for the ribosome [28].
