6.3 EXAMPLE OF PROCESS FUNCTION
We describe the typical example of process functions.
6.3.1 Example of Using the Image Processing Function
Here, a description is given of functions that are often used in the image processing
function. The general flow of image processing is shown below.
Adjustment of image
brightness and contrast
3-dimensional
analysis
Use of noise filter
Cross-sectional
analysis
There is a periodic
structure.
Image read

Reading an Image
There are two methods of reading an SPM image.
Transfer the measured SPM image from the scan mode.
This method is useful when you wish to perform image processing while performing
measurement.
1.
Using the scan mode, display the image to be analyzed in the Display
Window.
2.
Click on Copy Data shortcut icon.
The displayed SPM image and the measurement data are copied to the clipboard.
3.
Switch over the application to the process mode.
4.
Regarding the mode switchover method, refer to the Windows manual. Click
on Paste Data shortcut icon.
