Real-Time Surface Clarity, Unlocked

RHEED has always contained more information than we could see.
πHDR changes that.
This is not a visual filter.
It is a real-time, per-frame enhancement pipeline designed to extract directional features from diffraction patterns while suppressing background noise—frame by frame, in under 25 ms.
What πHDR Actually Does
πHDR operates directly on the incoming signal:
- Suppresses static and dynamic background intelligently
- Enhances streak contrast and directional features
- Reveals surface reconstructions and Kikuchi lines
- Brings out sub-lattice structure otherwise lost in noise
The result is not “sharper.”
It is more truthful.
Built for Physics, Not Aesthetics
Most imaging pipelines optimize for appearance.
πHDR is built for interpretation.
It emphasizes the anisotropic nature of RHEED patterns—pulling out streaks and directional information that matter for growth analysis, while minimizing irrelevant background intensity.
This is why features that were always present suddenly become obvious.
Real-Time, Not Post-Processing
πHDR runs live:
- ~25 ms per frame
- No added perceptible latency
- Fully integrated into the acquisition pipeline
You are not reviewing data.
You are seeing the surface evolve—clearly, as it happens.
A Simple Switch
πHDR is not a workflow.
It is a toggle.
Turn it on, and the diffraction pattern transforms.
Turn it off, and you remember what you were missing.
Seeing is believing.
Why It Matters
RHEED has been limited by software, not physics.
πHDR closes that gap.
Once streaks emerge clearly.
Once reconstructions become visible without guesswork.
You stop interpreting shadows.
You start reading the surface.
