Abstract:In previous work, we have reported on a series of projects utilizing GPGPUs (General Purpose Graphics Processing Units) to improve instrument performance, notably preliminary work in scanning electron microscope (SEM) autofocusing [1], autofocusing and astigmatism correction using Fourier domain algorithms [2], specific SEM-related image processing techniques [3], and automated gun alignment for tungsten filament emission sources [4]. GPGPU computation is now an established means of exploiting the tens to thou… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
