abstract: Spatially-aware quality control (QC) software for both spot-level and artifact-level
  QC in spot-based spatial transcripomics, such as 10x Visium. These methods calculate
  local (nearest-neighbors) mean and variance of standard QC metrics (library size,
  unique genes, and mitochondrial percentage) to identify outliers spot and large
  technical artifacts.
