Core Concepts
MicroDiffusion integrates INR and DDPM to enhance 3D reconstruction from limited 2D projections, improving image quality and structural fidelity.
Abstract
Volumetric optical microscopy enables rapid imaging of 3D volumes but lacks depth information.
MicroDiffusion combines INR's global view with DDPM's detail enhancement.
Two-stage process: INR pretraining and diffusion model guided by INR output.
Experiments show MicroDiffusion outperforms baselines in SSIM, PSNR, and DICE metrics.
Ablation studies on positional encoding, conditional features, INR prior generation, training methods, and step length optimization.
Future work includes exploring noise types for training and further enhancing imaging efficiency.
Stats
"Comprehensive experiments on three optical microscopy datasets showcase MicroDiffusion’s efficacy."
"Compared to the baseline INR, it notably enhances reconstruction quality by up to 15.5% in SSIM, 15.2% in PSNR, and 64.7% in DICE on Dendrite dataset."
Quotes
"By conditioning the diffusion model on the closest 2D projection, MicroDiffusion substantially enhances fidelity in resulting 3D reconstructions."
"Our approach not only accelerates the image acquisition process but also maintains 3D spatial information."
