Abstract Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images are frequently affected by low-frequency vibrations, substrate-induced background variations, and bias-dependent contrast changes, which degrade molecular feature responses and hinder reliable segmentation. To address this challenge, we develop an STM-oriented Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) + Dual-Path Intensity Calibration (DPIC) framework by adapting a DPIC module, originally derived from a cloud-noise calibration mechanism, to the specific characteristics of STM molecular images. In this framework, DPIC is reformulated as a noise-aware feature calibration module that suppresses low-response background interference while preserving foreground molecular contours. We integrated DPIC into the FPN architecture and… More >
