Abstract

Drift Corrected Image Composition (DCIC) is a real-time technique that allows for acquiring significantly more accurate images compare to traditional slow or fast imaging methods.[Ref.] It is especially useful in nanometer-scale imaging and metrology. Further improvement is now possible by adding intra-frame drift correction as an additional step in image-frame processing before the final composition. The idea is applying correction for drift-related distortions within in the individual frames, which are used in the composition if the final image. This is important especially for the metrological applications in nano-scale. This intra-frame drift correction requires knowledge of dead times. This work proposes two possible approaches, on how the dead times can be found.
