Dear Marin, I disagree. The FRC is not "a metric that measures the improvement directly" in this case. It merely shows a lack of correlation. Adding noise to the higher frequency components would have the same effect on the FRC. As Oli pointed out, substituting one aligned version of a movie for another one and repeating a few local refinement iterations wouldn't add any ambiguity. If the algorithm, indeed, "improves the data significantly", it should have a measurable effect at the end of the pipeline.
