摘要

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is widely employed in diverse fields for high-resolution imaging. However, a trade-off exists between image quality and resolution, with higher resolutions often entailing longer scanning times and increased operational complexity. To address this challenge, we propose a deep channel-spatial attention network (DCSAN) for SEM image super-resolution. DCSAN integrates channel attention and spatial attention mechanisms to efficiently capture high-frequency features, leveraging channel-wise and spatial contextual information to enhance SEM image resolution, particularly at high magnifications. Experimental results demonstrate that DCSAN outperforms existing methods in terms of image clarity and fidelity, achieving a PSNR of 31.01 dB and an SSIM of 0.7849 at a scaling factor of x4. Here, we show that our approach not only improves the visual quality of SEM images but also has the potential to advance precision instrumentation and measurement systems. This work presents a novel deep learning-based method for enhancing SEM image analysis in various scientific and industrial applications. The code is available at https://github.com/sxdyyds/DCSAN.
