CryoNAV does not implement its own reconstruction algorithms. Instead, it wraps established command-line tools and provides a unified interface, parameter management, and progress tracking on top of them.

== IMOD ==
 
The IMOD software package (Kremer et al., 1996; Mastronarde & Held, 2017) provides the core processing utilities CryoNAV invokes:
 
* '''alignframes''' -- motion correction
* '''ctfplotter''' -- CTF estimation
* '''tiltalign''' -- tilt series alignment
* '''newstack''' -- image stack manipulation
* '''tilt''' -- tomographic reconstruction
* '''3dmod''' -- 3D viewer, launched as an external application for volume inspection and model building (see [[Grid Visualization#3D visualization via 3dmod|3D visualization via 3dmod]])
 
IMOD must be installed on the execution host(s) for processing steps to run.
 
== CryoCARE ==
 
CryoCARE (Buchholz et al., 2019) provides content-aware image restoration for cryo-EM data. CryoNAV constructs CryoCARE invocations from template parameters and runs them via the same Executor interface used for IMOD jobs.
 
== DeepDeWedge ==
 
DeepDeWedge (Wiedemann & Heckel, 2024) is a deep-learning method for simultaneous denoising and missing-wedge reconstruction in cryogenic electron tomography. CryoNAV supports DeepDeWedge through the same template-based job submission system.
 
== Acquisition software detection ==
 
CryoNAV's [[Tilt Series Data Import|SmartScan]] import engine currently recognizes folder structures produced by:
 
* '''SerialEM'''
* '''Thermo Fisher EPU'''
 
Additional acquisition-software support can be added through the modular detection framework.
 
== Execution backends ==
 
Job execution is abstracted behind an '''Executor''' interface with SLURM and local-subprocess implementations, both of which can be active simultaneously in a single deployment. See [[Tomogram Processing Overview#Local and HPC execution|Local and HPC execution]].
