VEMamba: Efficient Isotropic Reconstruction of Volume Electron Microscopy with Axial-Lateral Consistent Mamba
Overall architecture of VEMamba.
๐ฅ News
- [2026.03] ๐ป Code is now publicly available.
- [2026.03] ๐ Paper released on arXiv.
- [2026.02] ๐ Our paper has been accepted to CVPR 2026!
๐ง Method Overview
The Detail of the VEMamba Module.
The VEMamba pipeline consists of four key stages:
- Shallow Feature Extraction
- Degradation Representation Extraction (via MoCo)
- Deep Feature Extraction (using Residual Volume Mamba Groups)
- Reconstruction Module
The core component is the VEMamba Module (VEMM), which features:
- ALCSSM: Multi-directional 3D dependency scanning.
- SSM: Global dependency modeling.
- DWAM: Dynamic feature aggregation.
๐ Datasets
We evaluate our method on two public Volume Electron Microscopy (VEM) datasets:
1. EPFL Dataset
- Content: FIB-SEM hippocampus dataset with annotated mitochondria segmentation labels.
- Resolution: 5 ร 5 ร 5 nm
2. CREMI Dataset
- Content: ssTEM dataset of Drosophila melanogaster brain (contains three training volumes: A, B, C).
- Resolution: 4 ร 4 ร 40 nm
โ๏ธ Environment
Recommended Requirements:
python == 3.10torch == 2.4.0causal_conv1d == 1.5.2mamba_ssm == 2.2.5
Standard Installation:
pip install -r requirements.txt
โ ๏ธ Note: To avoid environment conflicts, we highly recommend installing the following core packages manually from their official releases:
๐ Training
Training is divided into two stages to ensure optimal representation learning and reconstruction.
Stage 1: Degradation Learning (MoCo)
Train the MoCo encoder to effectively learn degradation representations.
python train_moco.py
Stage 2: Reconstruction Training
Freeze the MoCo encoder and train the main reconstruction backbone.
python train.py
๐งช Testing
To reconstruct the full isotropic volume, run the following command. The output will be saved in your specified output directory.
python test.py
