SPIP 6tm - Enhanced Structures

SPIP™ is the preferred software package for nano- and microscale image processing at high-tech companies and leading research institutes in more than 50 countries. In this news Image Metrology explains the module of Correlation Averaging, one of the many modules available with the standard version of the SPIP Software.

When measuring on the nanometer scale the signal-to-noise ratio is often very small. Traditional filters cannot remove random noise without removing parts of the real surface structure. However, by using the advanced Correlation Averaging technique it is possible to reduce non-correlated noise and enhance repeated structures at the same time.

The Correlation Averaging Module allows you to enhance weak structures in repeated patterns such as atomic crystals, self assembled molecules, and etched patterns.
