Abstract
In the environment of the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), it is necessary to establish the technology of recovering 3D shape of a target object from the observed 2D shading image. SEM has the function to rotate the object stand to some extent. This paper uses this principle and proposes a new method to recover the object shape using two shading images taken during the rotation. The proposed method uses the optimization of the energy function using Hopfield neural network, which is based on the standard regularization theory. It is also important to give the initial vector that is close to the true optimal solution vector. Computer simulation evaluates the essential ability of the proposed method. Further, the real experiments for the SEM images are also demonstrated and discussed.
