High-level structural information about macromolecules is now being organized into databases. One of the common ways of storing information in such databases is in the form of three-dimensional (3D) electron microscopic (EM) maps, which are 3D arrays of real numbers obtained by a reconstruction algorithm from EM projection data. We propose and demonstrate a method of automatically constructing, from any 3D EM map, a topological descriptor (which we call a history tree) that is amenable to automatic comparison.
