Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a widely employed tool for micro-/nanoscale topographic imaging. However, conventional AFM scanning struggles to reconstruct complex 3D micro-/nanostructures precisely due to limitations such as incomplete sample topography capturing and tip-sample convolution artifacts. Here, we propose a multi-view neural-network-based framework with AFM (MVN-AFM), which accurately reconstructs surface models of intricate micro-/nanostructures. Unlike previous works, MVN-AFM does not depend on any specially shaped probes or costly modifications to the AFM system. To achieve this, MVN-AFM uniquely employs an iterative method to align multi-view data and eliminate AFM artifacts simultaneously. Furthermore, we pioneer the application of neural implicit surface reconstruction in nanotechnology and achieve markedly improved results. Extensive experiments show that MVN-AFM effectively eliminates artifacts present in raw AFM images and reconstructs various micro-/nanostructures including complex geometrical microstructures printed via Two-photon Lithography and nanoparticles such as PMMA nanospheres and ZIF-67 nanocrystals. This work presents a cost-effective tool for micro-/nanoscale 3D analysis.
