Abstract
Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) provides im-ages from different copies of the same biomolecule in ar-bitrary orientations. Here, we present an end-to-end unsu-pervised approach that learns individual particle orienta-tions directly from cryo-EM data while reconstructing the3D map of the biomolecule following random initialization.The approach relies on an auto-encoder architecture wherethe latent space is explicitly interpreted as orientations usedby the decoder to form an image according to the physi-cal projection model. We evaluate our method on simulateddata and show that it is able to reconstruct 3D particle mapsfrom noisy- and CTF-corrupted 2D projection images of un-known particle orientations.
