Cryo-SWAN: the Multi-Scale Wavelet-decomposition-inspired Autoencoder Network for molecular density representation of molecular volumes

Learning robust representations of 3D shapes from voxelized data is essential for advancing AI methods in biomedical imaging. However, most contemporary 3D computer vision approaches operate on point clouds, meshes, or octrees, while volumetric density maps, the native format of structural biology and cryo-EM, remain comparatively underexplored. We present Cryo-SWAN, a voxel-based variational autoencoder inspired by multi-scale wavelet decomposition. The model performs conditional coarse-to-fine latent encoding and recursive residual quantization across perception scales, enabling accurate capture of both global geometry and high-frequency structural detail in molecular density volumes. Evaluated on ModelNet40, BuildingNet, and a newly curated dataset of cryo-EM volumes, ProteinNet3D, Cryo-SWAN consistently improves reconstruction quality over state-of-the-art 3D autoencoders. We demonstrate that the molecular densities organize in learned latent space according to shared geometric features, while integration with diffusion models enables denoising and conditional shape generation. Together, Cryo-SWAN is a practical framework for data-driven structural biology and volumetric imaging.

Microscopy image reconstruction with physics-informed denoising diffusion probabilistic model

Light microscopy is a widespread and inexpensive imaging technique facilitating biomedical discovery and diagnostics. However, light diffraction barrier and imperfections in optics limit the level of detail of the acquired images. The details lost can be reconstructed among others by deep learning models. Yet, deep learning models are prone to introduce artefacts and hallucinations into the reconstruction. Recent state-of-the-art image synthesis models like the denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) are no exception to this. We propose to address this by incorporating the physical problem of microscopy image formation into the model's loss function. To overcome the lack of microscopy data, we train this model with synthetic data. We simulate the effects of the microscope optics through the theoretical point spread function and varying the noise levels to obtain synthetic data. Furthermore, we incorporate the physical model of a light microscope into the reverse process of a conditioned DDPM proposing a physics-informed DDPM (PI-DDPM). We show consistent improvement and artefact reductions when compared to model-based methods, deep-learning regression methods and regular conditioned DDPMs.
