Abstract
En 中文
In nanostructure extraction, advanced techniques like synchrotron radiation and electron microscopy are often hindered by radiation damage and charging artifacts from long exposure times. This study presents a multiframe superresolution method using sparse coding to enhance synchrotron radiation microspectroscopy images. By reconstructing high-resolution images from multiple low-resolution ones, exposure time is minimized, reducing radiation effects, thermal drift, and sample degradation while preserving spatial resolution. Unlike deep learning-based superresolution methods, which overlook positional misalignment, our approach treats positional shifts as known control parameters, enhancing superresolution accuracy with a small, noisy dataset. Additionally, our sparse coding method learns an optimal dictionary tailored for nanostructure extraction, fine-tuning the SR process to the unique characteristics of the data, even with noise and limited samples. Applied to 3D nanoscale electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (nano-ESCA) data, our method, utilizing a high-resolution dictionary learned from 3D nano-ESCA datasets, significantly improves image quality, preserving structural details. Unlike state-of-the-art deep learning techniques that require large datasets, our method excels with limited data, making it ideal for real-world scenarios with constrained sample sizes. High-resolution quality can be maintained while reducing the measurement time by over $$40\%$$ , highlighting the efficiency of our approach. The results underscore the potential of this superresolution technique to not only advance synchrotron radiation microspectroscopy but also to be adapted for other high-resolution imaging modalities, such as electron microscopy. This approach offers enhanced image quality, reduced exposure times, and improved interpretability of scientific data, making it a versatile tool for overcoming the challenges associated with radiation damage and sample degradation in nanoscale imaging.
