    Abstract: A method for processing images for metrology using a charged particle beam tool may include obtaining, from the charged particle beam tool, an image of a portion of a sample. The method may further include processing the image using a first image processing module to generate a processed image. The method may further include determining image quality characteristics of the processed image and determining whether the image quality characteristics of the processed image satisfy predetermined imaging criteria. The method may further include in response to the image quality characteristics of the processed image not satisfying the imaging criteria, updating a tuning condition of the charged-particle beam tool, acquiring an image of the portion of the sample using the charged-particle beam tool that has the updated tuning condition, and processing the acquired image using the first image processing module to enable the processed acquired image to satisfy the predetermined imaging criteria.
