→How does INTEGRATE treat overlaps?

XDS does not adjust the integration boxes such as to center them individually on the observed reflections: it only tries to minimize the deviations between observed and calculated spot coordinates by adjusting about a dozen diffraction parameters (those given by REFINE(INTEGRATE)) for the reflections in a certain range of frames (DELPHI). | XDS does not adjust the integration boxes such as to center them individually on the observed reflections: it only tries to minimize the deviations between observed and calculated spot coordinates by adjusting about a dozen diffraction parameters (those given by REFINE(INTEGRATE)) for the reflections in a certain range of frames (DELPHI). | ||

The integration algorithm (see [http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0021889888007903]) proceeds along the following lines: | The integration algorithm (see [http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0021889888007903]) proceeds along the following lines: | ||
# pixel-labelling: the x,y,z, center of each pixel of the detector (z corresponds to phi, and the z pixelsize is delta-phi) is assigned to its closest (predicted) reflection in reciprocal space. As a consequence, ''each pixel of the detector is used for at most one reflection''. | # '''pixel-labelling''': the x,y,z, center of each pixel of the detector (z corresponds to phi, and the z pixelsize is delta-phi) is assigned to its closest (predicted) reflection in reciprocal space.

# handling overlap: not all pixels of a reflection, which would be required to assemble its full profile (whose shape is given by the average profile), may have been observed due to step 1. Therefore, in another pass, for each reflection, the observed fraction of its theoretical profile is calculated. If this fraction is less than a threshold (called "MINPK" in XDS.INP), this reflection will be discarded ("too much overlap"). If it is above MINPK, the observed intensity (from the incomplete profile) is scaled up with the inverse of the fraction. | # '''handling overlap''': not all pixels of a reflection, which would be required to assemble its full profile (whose shape is given by the average profile), may have been observed due to step 1.

Concerning overlap of reflections, this means that: | |||
* there is ''no conceptual difference'' in XDS ''between overlap in x,y'' (due to too close detector, or smeared spots), ''and overlap by phi rotation'' (due to too large delta-phi, or high mosaicity). | * there is ''no conceptual difference'' in XDS ''between overlap in x,y'' (due to too close detector, or smeared spots), ''and overlap by phi rotation'' (due to too large delta-phi, or high mosaicity). | ||
* the program does ''not'' look around each reflection to detect an overlap situation, it just gathers the pixels for each reflection. | * the program does ''not'' look around each reflection to detect an overlap situation, it just gathers the pixels for each reflection. | ||
