Development of image processing algorithms for an AFM scanner

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory working group was presented with three problems involving the improvement of images from an AFM scanner. The first concerned the inpainting of an image for which data is collected via a spiral scan waveform. The second concerned the exploitation of data obtained at different times to obtain better spatial resolution. The third concerned the correction of horizontal positions reported by the sensor, particularly when the scanner is operating at high frequency. Herein is a brief report on the progress and ideas generated by the working group on each of these problems.
