There is provided an image generation system and method. The method comprises obtaining a runtime image of a semiconductor specimen with a low Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and processing the runtime image using a machine learning (ML) model to obtain an output image with a high SNR. The ML model is previously trained using a training set comprising a plurality of low SNR images associated with a high SNR image. The plurality of low SNR images correspond to a plurality of sequences of frames acquired in a plurality of runs of scanning a first site of the specimen. The high SNR image is generated based on the plurality of low SNR images. The training comprises, for each low SNR image: processing the low SNR image by the ML model to obtain predicted image data, and optimizing the ML model based on the predicted image data and the high SNR image.
