According to the competition we must be within 0.5 of the particle radius to count as a true positive so set this value to 0.5 when doing the distance multiplier.  Make sure all your predicted points are converted back into the particle coordinates by multiplying your outputs (630x630x184) by 10 because we have a voxel space of 10 but use 0.5 in the score.  All coordinates should already be converted to the voxel space before building the dataframe if that makes sense.</p>",
