Nonlinear Drift Correction from Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) Orthogonal Image Pairs

Correct nonlinear drift distortions in scanning probe images.

This collection of scripts is intended to correct nonlinear drift distortions in images recorded using any scanning probe microscopy technique (where there is a slow and a fast scan direction). It uses a minimum of two images, with scan directions as close to 90 degrees apart as possible. The first script initializes the data structure, the second performs drift correction and the third generates high quality output images using kernel density estimation.
