PALM and STORM reconstruction algorithms usually rely on 'fitting' Gaussian kernels to detected diffraction-limited spots. Although they permit high-accuracy localizations, these iterative methods can require up to several hours of processing time. We have developed a high-speed reconstruction algorithm that uses the classical Högbom 'CLEAN' method8 for spot finding, followed by a modified center of mass algorithm to compute the spot position and parameters defining spot shape along the horizontal axes.I have not yet tried this, but seems to be very usable also for simple cases that needs to find spots.
