扫描透射电镜(STEM)可实现亚埃级分辨率,用于材料原子结构的物理化学性质分析。然而,噪声、电子束损伤及样品厚度等因素常导致原子级图像质量不佳。现有增强方法忽视频域特征,且数据集缺乏真实性和普适性。为此,本文提出一种噪声校准与图像增强联合方案:首先通过统计分析与拟合真实含原子图像,获得背景噪声、扫描噪声和点噪声参数;基于此参数合成更真实的图像,构建涵盖规则与随机原子排列、包含HAADF与BF模式的通用数据集;最后设计空间-频率交互网络,利用原子周期性在频域中挖掘结构信息。实验表明,所生成数据更贴近真实,结合网络显著提升增强效果。代码将开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) enables the observation of atomic arrangements at sub-angstrom resolution, allowing for atomically resolved analysis of the physical and chemical properties of materials. However, due to the effects of noise, electron beam damage, sample thickness, etc, obtaining satisfactory atomic-level images is often challenging. Enhancing STEM images can reveal clearer structural details of materials. Nonetheless, existing STEM image enhancement methods usually overlook unique features in the frequency domain, and existing datasets lack realism and generality. To resolve these issues, in this paper, we develop noise calibration, data synthesis, and enhancement methods for STEM images. We first present a STEM noise calibration method, which is used to synthesize more realistic STEM images. The parameters of background noise, scan noise, and pointwise noise are obtained by statistical analysis and fitting of real STEM images containing atoms. Then we use these parameters to develop a more general dataset that considers both regular and random atomic arrangements and includes both HAADF and BF mode images. Finally, we design a spatial-frequency interactive network for STEM image enhancement, which can explore the information in the frequency domain formed by the periodicity of atomic arrangement. Experimental results show that our data is closer to real STEM images and achieves better enhancement performances together with our network.
