摘 要  在透射电子显微镜中,准确测量像差参数对波函数重构、高分辨率三维电子断层成像及图像定量模拟至关重要。目前常用的检测像差的方法通常需要在已知球差的前提下,利用几何平均算法估算其他低阶像差参数。卷积神经网络作为一种非线性图像分析工具,理论上可通过监督学习从大量功率谱图中直接检测像差参数(包括球差)。然而,实验获取的二维功率谱图易受衰减和噪声影响,往往无法准确呈现环形特征,且实验中获取大量图像费时繁琐,这使得构建庞大且高质量的数据集成为该方法面临的主要挑战之一。针对上述问题,本文提出了一种二维功率谱图数据集构建程序及可视化用户操作界面。该方法的优势在于:只需输入一张待检测的二维功率谱图,即可自动生成所需的数据集,并自动确定各项像差参数的范围、删除重复项以及排除采样伪像的影响。

Abstract  Accurate measurement of aberration parameters in transmission electron microscopy is critical for wavefunction reconstruction, high-resolution three-dimensional electron tomography, and quantitative image simulation. Existing methods for aberration detection typically require known spherical aberration as a prerequisite and use geometric mean algorithms to estimate other low-order aberrations. As nonlinear image analysis tools, Convolutional neural networks theoretically offer the capability to directly detect aberration parameters (including spherical aberration) through supervised learning on large datasets of power spectra. However, experimentally obtained two-dimensional power spectra are often affected by attenuation and noise, making it difficult to accurately represent ring features. Moreover, obtaining a large number of experimental images is time-consuming and labor-intensive, posing a significant barrier to constructing large-scale, high-quality datasets for model training. To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a two-dimensional power spectrum dataset construction method along with a visual user interface. The proposed method enables automatic generation of datasets from a single input power spectrum image, while automatically determining aberration parameter ranges, removing duplicates, and eliminating sampling artifacts.
