Abstract
Robust and fully automatic 3D registration of serial-section microscopic images is critical for detailed anatomical reconstruction of large biological specimens, such as reconstructions of dense neuronal tissues or 3D histology reconstruction to gain new structural insights. However, robust and fully automatic 3D image registration for biological data is difficult due to complex deformations, unbalanced staining and variations on data appearance. This study presents a fully automatic and robust 3D registration technique for microscopic image reconstruction, and we demonstrate our method on two ssTEM datasets of drosophila brain neural tissues, serial confocal laser scanning microscopic images of a drosophila brain, serial histopathological images of renal cortical tissues and a synthetic test case. The results show that the presented fully automatic method is promising to reassemble continuous volumes and minimize artificial deformations for all data and outperforms four state-of-the-art 3D registration techniques to consistently produce solid 3D reconstructed anatomies with less discontinuities and deformations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
