Catena: A Comprehensive Software Suite for Large-Scale Connectomics

Catena is an open‑source, developer‑centric software suite designed to streamline large‑scale connectomics from electron microscopy data. It integrates modules for 3D neuron and organelle segmentation, synapse detection, microtubule tracking, and neurotransmitter inference into composable, chunk‑wise pipelines that are fully documented and extensible. The suite includes pretrained machine learning models, containerized runtimes, and shareable components to reduce compute and ground‑truth data needs while ensuring reproducible, scalable processing across workstations and clusters.

Spatial-Frequency Learning for Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Image Enhancement

The paper introduces a spatial-frequency learning framework for enhancing Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) images. It employs a spatial-frequency fusion network that separately enhances features in the spatial and frequency domains before fusing them, leveraging periodic atomic arrangements in the frequency domain and local atomic details in the spatial domain. Additionally, the authors present a STEM noise calibration method to synthesize realistic images, creating a diverse dataset that improves performance on synthetic and real advanced material images, including better atomic localization accuracy.

Hyperspectral Image Restoration and Super-resolution with Physics-Aware Deep Learning for Biomedical Applications

The paper introduces a self‑supervised, physics‑aware deep learning method for hyperspectral image restoration and super‑resolution in biomedical imaging. It achieves 16× pixel super‑resolution and 12× faster imaging without external training data, preserving biological integrity across synthetic and experimental samples. The approach also reveals disease‑associated metabolic changes and offers physical insights into the model’s workings, with all code released as open source.

GigaBench: Benchmarking Learnable Representations for Gigapixel Image Compression and Super-Resolution

GigaBench is the first benchmark designed to evaluate learnable representations (LRs) for gigapixel image compression and super‑resolution. It compiles a diverse set of gigapixel images—collected, acquired, and synthetically rendered—from various domains and tests representative LR methods (Implicit, Hybrid, and Explicit) on consumer hardware. The study systematically measures reconstruction quality, model size, compression, and inference times, revealing consistent trends and offering actionable guidance for future research.
