• Abstract: Differentiating signals from the background in micrographs is a critical initial step for cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), yet it remains laborious due to low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the presence of contaminants and densely packed particles of varying sizes. Although image segmentation has recently been introduced to distinguish particles at the pixel level, the low SNR complicates the automated generation of accurate annotations for training supervised models. Moreover, platforms for systematically comparing different design choices in pipeline construction are lacking. Thus, a modular framework is essential to understand the advantages and limitations of this approach and drive further development. To address these challenges, we present a pipeline that automatically generates high-quality segmentation maps from cryo-EM data to serve as ground truth labels. Our modular framework enables the selection of various segmentation models and loss functions. We also integrate Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) with different solvers and feature sets to refine coarse predictions, thereby producing fine-grained segmentation. This flexibility facilitates optimal configurations tailored to cryo-EM datasets. When trained on a limited set of micrographs, our approach achieves over 90% accuracy, recall, precision, Intersection over Union (IoU), and F1-score on synthetic data. Furthermore, to demonstrate our framework's efficacy in downstream analyses, we show that the particles extracted by our pipeline produce 3D density maps with higher resolution than those generated by existing particle pickers on real experimental datasets, while achieving performance comparable to that of manually curated datasets from experts.

  We propose DiffDIS, a diffusion-driven segmentation model that taps into the potential of the pre-trained U-Net within diffusion models. By leveraging the robust generalization capabilities and rich, versatile image representation prior to the SD models, we significantly reduce the inference time while preserving high-fidelity, detailed generation. Experiments on the DIS5K dataset demonstrate the superiority of DiffDIS, achieving state-of-the-art results through a streamlined inference process.

  This paper focuses on addressing the challenging yet practical few-shot online anomaly detection and segmentation (FOADS) task. Under the FOADS framework, models are trained on a few-shot normal dataset, followed by inspection and improvement of their capabilities by leveraging unlabeled streaming data containing both normal and abnormal samples simultaneously. In order to achieve improved performance with limited training samples, we employ multi-scale feature embedding extracted from a CNN pre-trained on ImageNet to obtain a robust representation.

  Existing models are trained on clean data, which causes a textitgap between clean data training and real-world inference. We propose a method from the perspective of domain adaptation, by which both high- and low-quality samples are embedding into similar vector space. Experiments on the widely-used dataset, Snips, and large scale in-house dataset (10 million training examples) demonstrate that this method not only outperforms the baseline models on real-world (noisy) corpus but also enhances the robustness, that is, it produces high-quality results under a noisy environment.
