Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Microscopy

Background:

  • Transmission analytical electron microscopy (AEM) with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is crucial for elemental mapping in thin films.
  • Image processing in EELS can yield valuable data but is prone to artifacts if not carefully analyzed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present statistical methods for contrast information analysis of noisy EELS image datasets.
  • To introduce unconventional approaches for robust image analysis in microscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced concepts of contrast, variance, information, and entropy.
  • Explained relative entropy calculation against a signal-free image.
  • Detailed factorial analysis of correspondence, a multivariate statistical technique.

Main Results:

  • The proposed statistical methods offer a framework for analyzing noisy image data.
  • These methods aim to improve the accuracy of elemental distribution mapping.
  • The companion article (Part II) will validate these methods with experimental data.

Conclusions:

  • Careful inspection of image processing hypotheses is vital for accurate elemental mapping.
  • Statistical analysis, including relative entropy and correspondence analysis, can mitigate artifacts in noisy EELS data.
  • The presented methods are applicable to diverse noisy datasets beyond EELS, including spectra and images from various sources.
