CD-RCM: Generalizable Continuous-Depth Novel View Synthesis for Reflectance Confocal Microscopy
Researchers have developed CD-RCM, a novel approach for synthesizing new views in reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) data. This method addresses the anisotropic resolution issues inherent in RCM by interpolating intermediate sections to create a more isotropic 3D volume. The feedforward model can predict realistic, unseen depths from sparsely sampled RCM stacks, enabling arbitrary-direction sectioning and histopathology-like examinations without per-patient optimization. CD-RCM achieves high-fidelity novel-view synthesis with sub-second inference times. AI
