Abstract

The problem of weighted summation of component images of the surface of a material formed in two synchronous channels of an atomic force microscope (AFM) is considered. A computationally simple quality metric for combining component AFM images based on local correlation coefficients is proposed, which takes into account the contribution of each of the component AFM images to the resulting combined AFM image and the correlation between component AFM images. It is shown that local correlation provides a higher accuracy of AFM images combination quality estimation in comparison with global correlation. The dependences of the local correlation metric on the size of the correlation analysis window and the contribution of component AFM images to the resulting combined AFM images are obtained. A scheme for adaptive weighted summation of component AFM images is proposed.
