I used a step size of one in the mlp calculation, and this seemed to work pretty well.
Samples were scanned between 5° (2θ) and 70° (2θ) using a step size of 0.1° (2θ) and a count time of 1 s, using the Bragg Brentano geometry.
For the rgb values generated for an autofocus zone, each value is converted to luminance and the SML calculated for each value using a step size of 1.
I used a step size of 2mm and capped the max distance I would move at 100mm, since this worked in practice and seemed like a distance at which I would go past a physical camera's dimensions.
I ended up using a step size of 5 mm in this step; although I tried out larger values (9, 10 and higher), I opted not to use them because the peaks are very narrow and are easily missed when using those larger ranges.
In this multi-scale method, the plasma particles in each region of phase space are advanced using a step size appropriate to that region, as determined by accuracy considerations.
Diffraction patterns were registered in the angular range 10° < 2θ° < 90°, using a step size of 0.03° and a time step of 3 s.
The scanning range was 10° 90° (2θ) using a step size of 0.026° and step time of 37 s at room temperature (25 °C ± 2).
Each spectra measurement was completed using a step size of 0.25 nm, five samples per average, five shots per wavelength, and a frequency of 100 Hz.
This allows for using a step size close to or even larger than μ=1, according to the needs of the considered application scenario.
In addition, using a step size near the upper boundary will guarantee less time to converge; however, working close to the upper boundary of the step size ensures faster convergence, but we have to take the risk of algorithm divergence.
