  • 在极端噪声下(-20dB)mSAP提升超40%,拓扑断裂率降低60%以上。
  • 无需训练即可在真实数据上表现优异,适合科学成像中的高鲁棒性需求。

在低温电子显微镜(Cryo-EM)中自动化追踪纤维结构对三维螺旋重建至关重要,但受限于交叉拓扑和极低信噪比(SNR < 0.1,即 -10 dB)。现有方法均失效:像素级分割器导致严重拓扑断裂,基于框的检测器出现伪中心漂移,序列追踪器因误差累积失准,传统活动轮廓模型则受人工闭合约束影响而崩溃。为此,我们提出FPicker,首个拓扑引导的统一框架,通过中心-端点表示与开放曲线演化模块,显式建模非周期性连通性。在模拟基准测试中,FPicker相较顶尖基线在平均空间角度精度(mSAP)上提升超过40%相对增益,并在极端噪声(-20 dB)下将拓扑间隙率降低60%以上。其学习内在物理几何而非局部纹理,展现出作为强鲁棒几何骨干的潜力。在真实世界EMPIAR数据集上的零样本性能表现稳健,微调后达到82.9%的mSAP,处于当前最佳水平。结果表明,建模物理先验是弥合信号匮乏科学成像中仿真到现实差距的高效路径。代码已公开于:https://github.com/tomzhaosky/FPicker。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Automating filament tracing in Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) is essential for 3D helical reconstruction but challenged by intersecting topologies and extremely low Signal-to-Noise Ratios ($\text{SNR} = \sigma_s^2/\sigma_n^2$ < 0.1 or -10 dB). Existing paradigms fail: pixel-wise segmenters suffer from severe topological fracturing, box-based detectors face ghost center drift, sequential trackers derail due to error accumulation, and traditional active contours collapse under artificial closed-curve constraints. To resolve these bottlenecks, we present FPicker, the first topology-guided framework reconciling these incompatibilities. It unifies perception via a center-endpoint representation and an open-curve evolution module to explicitly model non-cyclic connectivity. On simulated benchmarks, FPicker outperforms top baselines by over $40\%$ relative gain in mean spatio-angular precision (mSAP) and reduces topological gap rates by over $60\%$ under extreme noise ($-20\text{ dB}$). By learning intrinsic physical geometry rather than local texture, FPicker demonstrates strong potential as a resilient geometric backbone. Its zero-shot performance on the real-world EMPIAR dataset exhibits robust topological resistance, achieving a state-of-the-art 82.9\% mSAP upon fine-tuning. Our results also suggest modeling physical priors is a highly robust path toward bridging the sim-to-real gap in signal-starved scientific imaging. The code is publicly available at: https://github.com/tomzhaosky/FPicker.
