  • Patent number: 12362037
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for determining 3D structure and 3D motion of a protein molecule from 2D or 3D particle observation images. The method includes: initializing pose parameters and unknown model parameters; performing image formation which includes: generating one or more 3D deformation fields by inputting a latent coordinate vector into the one or more flow generators; performing a convection and projection operation; and performing CTF corruption; fitting the unknown model parameters to the experimental images by gradient-based optimization of an objective function; latent variable search for a given experimental image which includes: performing the image formation one or more times to generate simulated images; and selecting one or more latent coordinate vectors based on similarity; and updating the at least one of the unknown model parameters which includes: generating simulated images; and evaluating the objective function; computing the gradient of the objective function.

  • Publication number: 20250061551
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a computing device, training data comprising a plurality of pairs of images, wherein each pair comprises an image and at least one corresponding target version of the image. The method also includes training a neural network based on the training data to predict an enhanced version of an input image, wherein the training of the neural network comprises applying a forward Gaussian diffusion process that adds Gaussian noise to the at least one corresponding target version of each of the plurality of pairs of images to enable iterative denoising of the input image, wherein the iterative denoising is based on a reverse Markov chain associated with the forward Gaussian diffusion process. The method additionally includes outputting the trained neural network.
