We previously published a method that infers chromosome conformation from images of fluorescently-tagged genomic loci, for the case when there are many loci labeled with each distinguishable color.  Here we build on our previous work and improve the reconstruction algorithm to address previous limitations.  We show that these improvements 1) increase the reconstruction accuracy and 2) allow the method to be used on large-scale problems involving several hundred labeled loci.  Simulations indicate that full-chromosome reconstructions at 1/2 Mb resolution are possible using existing labeling and imaging technologies.  The updated reconstruction code and the script files used for this paper are available at:  https://github.com/heltilda/align3d.
