Holography encodes the three dimensional (3D) information of a sample in form an intensity-only recording. However, to decode original image from its hologram(s), auto-focusing and phase-recovery are needed, which general cumbersome time-consuming digitally perform. Here we demonstrate convolutional neural network (CNN) based approach that simultaneously performs significantly extend depth-of-field (DOF) holographic reconstruction. For this, CNN is trained by using pairs randomly de-focused...

Autofocusing is essential to digital holographic imaging. Previously used autofocusing criteria exhibit challenges when applied to, e.g., connected objects with different optical properties. Furthermore, in some of the earlier criteria, polarity, i.e., whether search for peak or valley as a function depth, changes types samples, which creates another challenge. Here, we propose robust and accurate criterion that based on edge sparsity complex wavefront, termed "sparsity gradient" (SoG). We...

Abstract High-resolution imaging of densely connected samples such as pathology slides using digital in-line holographic microscopy requires the acquisition several holograms, e.g., at >6–8 different sample-to-sensor distances, to achieve robust phase recovery and coherent specimen. Reducing number these measurements would normally result in reconstruction artifacts loss image quality, which be detrimental especially for biomedical diagnostics-related applications. Inspired by fact that...
