SpmImage Tycoon: Organize and analyze scanning probemicroscopy data
Alexander Riss
Abstract
SpmImage Tycoon is a cross-platform application designed for fast and effortless organization, analysis, and editing of scanning probe microscopy images and spectra. The application supports automatic channel-of-interest detection, image editing (such as background corrections and contrast adjustment), keywording, star-ratings, powerful search and filtering (e.g., by keywords, data type, location, scan size), as well as export of the data into an OpenDocument Presentation file format (OASIS, 2021). Such easy-to-use tools can lower the entry barrier for aspiring scientists, boost the efficiency of experienced researchers, and help to create and leverage large scanning probe microscopy datasets for machine learning and artificial intelligence applications.
