AtomDiffuser: Time-Aware Degradation Modeling for Drift and Beam Damage in STEM Imaging

  • 通过仿射变换与空间衰减图分离时间序列中的漂移与信号损失
  • 在合成与真实冷冻电镜数据上均实现高精度退化建模
  • 适合研究材料动态演化与辐射损伤的科研人员使用

扫描透射电子显微镜(STEM)在现代材料科学中至关重要,可直接成像原子结构及其在外场干扰下的演变。然而,时间分辨的STEM数据解析仍面临两大耦合退化效应的挑战:由机械与热不稳定性引起的空间漂移,以及由辐射损伤导致的信号衰减。这些因素以复杂、时序相关的方式扭曲图像的几何与强度,使现有方法难以明确分离其影响或在原子分辨率下建模材料动态。本文提出AtomDiffuser,一种时间感知的退化建模框架,通过预测任意两帧之间的仿射变换和空间变化的衰减图,解耦样品漂移与辐射衰减。不同于传统去噪或配准流程,该方法将退化作为物理启发、时序条件化的过程,实现可解释的时空结构演化分析。在合成退化数据上训练的AtomDiffuser亦能良好泛化至真实冷冻电镜数据,支持高分辨率退化推断与漂移对齐,为可视化与量化与辐射诱导原子不稳定性相关的退化模式提供工具。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) plays a critical role in modern materials science, enabling direct imaging of atomic structures and their evolution under external interferences. However, interpreting time-resolved STEM data remains challenging due to two entangled degradation effects: spatial drift caused by mechanical and thermal instabilities, and beam-induced signal loss resulting from radiation damage. These factors distort both geometry and intensity in complex, temporally correlated ways, making it difficult for existing methods to explicitly separate their effects or model material dynamics at atomic resolution. In this work, we present AtomDiffuser, a time-aware degradation modeling framework that disentangles sample drift and radiometric attenuation by predicting an affine transformation and a spatially varying decay map between any two STEM frames. Unlike traditional denoising or registration pipelines, our method leverages degradation as a physically heuristic, temporally conditioned process, enabling interpretable structural evolutions across time. Trained on synthetic degradation processes, AtomDiffuser also generalizes well to real-world cryo-STEM data. It further supports high-resolution degradation inference and drift alignment, offering tools for visualizing and quantifying degradation patterns that correlate with radiation-induced atomic instabilities.
