Abstract
3D reconstruction from electron microscopy (EM) images is a central topic in computational imaging. Current reconstruction methods, borrowed from other imaging modalities, are limited in handling low image counts and noise corruption. Recent attempts using neural implicit representations and learning-based techniques are discussed. The research proposal focuses on incorporating neural implicit functions for memory-effective reconstructions and exploring learning-based regularization to enhance denoising. Specific priors tailored to different sample types are considered to reduce the number of required images. The abstract emphasizes the need for contrast-agnostic models and addresses the limitations of existing systems.
