Sq. Wang et al., IMAGE SEGMENTATION AND BRIGHT CONTRAST SPOT LOCALIZATION OF THE HIGH-RESOLUTION ATOMIC IMAGE, Microscopy research and technique, 33(3), 1996, pp. 288-291
Some basic quantitative analysis techniques of digitized high resoluti
on atomic image are developed in this paper. We describe how to divide
the atomic image into small independent areas with special structure
information by the valley mesh segmentation method. The procedure is w
ith regard to the bright contrast spot segmentation of atomic images.
We suggest several ways for bright contrast spot localization in image
s. Calculation routines for peak detection and weighted local position
average methods for this purpose are given. (C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
