With the recent progress in the development of detectors in electron microscopy, it has become possible to directly count the number of electrons per pixel, even with a scintillator-type detector, by incorporating a pulse-counting module. To optimize a denoising method for electron counting imaging, in this study, we propose a Poisson denoising method for atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy images. Our method is based on the Markov random field model and Bayesian inference, and we can reduce the electron dose by a factor of about 15 times or further below. Moreover, we showed that the method of reconstruction from multiple images without integrating them performs better than that from an integrated image.
