Abstract
Compressed sensing can decrease scanning transmission electron microscopy electron dose and scan time with minimal information loss. Traditionally, sparse scans used in compressed sensing sample a static set of probing locations. In contrast, we present a prototype for a contiguous sparse scan system that piecewise adapts scan paths to specimens as they are scanned. Sampling directions for scan segments are chosen by a recurrent neural network based on previously observed scan segments. The recurrent actor is trained by reinforcement learning to cooperate with a feedforward convolutional neural network that completes sparse scans. This paper presents our learning policy, experiments, and example partial scans, and discusses future research directions. Source code, pretrained models, and training data is openly accessible at https://github.com/Jeffrey-Ede/adaptive-scans.
