However, it encounters the twin image problem which may disturb the reconstructed atomic images. In this paper, the formation of twin image is discussed and we propose a modified two-energy algorithm to remove the twin image. The simulation shows that the method is valid and more efficient than the multiple-energy algorithm proposed by Barton.展开更多
