Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Microscopy
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Noise reduction is crucial for high-resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (HR(S)TEM) to improve image quality and quantification.
  • Existing methods struggle to simultaneously preserve periodic atomic columns and non-periodic defect information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel nonlinear filtering algorithm for noise reduction in HR(S)TEM.
  • To ensure the algorithm accurately handles both periodic and non-periodic features in micrographs.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a nonlinear filtering algorithm.
  • Integration of established low-pass and Wiener filter techniques.
  • Testing on HR(S)TEM micrographs with varying contrast and defects.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm efficiently reduces noise without introducing significant artifacts.
  • Preservation of both periodic atomistic columns and non-periodic deviations at defects.
  • Successful application to micrographs with background contrast variations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed nonlinear filter is highly effective for quantitative electron microscopy.
  • The algorithm is suitable for beam-sensitive samples, in situ studies, and atomic resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).
