Abstract

The application provides a scanning electron microscope image contour extraction method, system, medium, program product and terminal based on peak signal relocation. The method obtains corresponding brightness signal distribution on the boundary line of a layout, preliminarily locates the layout according to the brightness signal; obtains corresponding brightness signal distribution on the boundary line of the preliminarily located layout again to perform relocation search to obtain corresponding image edge points, generates a preliminary contour map of the SEM image based on a plurality of image edge points, and performs smoothing processing on the preliminary contour map to obtain a final contour map. The precision interference problem of the layout during scanning electron microscope image contour extraction is effectively solved.
