Hough transform-based multi-object autofocusing compressive holography.

ABSTRACT

Reconstruction of multiple objects from one hologram can be affected by the focus metric judgment of autofocusing. Various segmentation algorithms are applied to obtain a single object in the hologram. Each object is unambiguously reconstructed to acquire its focal position, which produces complicated calculations. Herein, Hough transform (HT)-based multi-object autofocusing compressive holography is presented. The sharpness of each reconstructed image is computed by using a focus metric such as entropy or variance. According to the characteristics of the object, the standard HT is further used for calibration to remove redundant extreme points. The compressive holographic imaging framework with a filter layer can eliminate the inherent noise in in-line reconstruction including cross talk noise of different depth layers, two-order noise, and twin image noise. The proposed method can effectively obtain 3D information on multiple objects and achieve noise elimination by only reconstructing from one hologram.
