Abstract:
Systems and methods for image enhancement are disclosed. A method for enhancing an image may include acquiring a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image. The method may also include simulating diffused charge associated with a position of the SEM image. The method may further include providing an enhanced SEM image based on the SEM image and the diffused charge.
