Comparison of Image Processing Methods for the Detection of Particle from Digital Hologram

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two image processing methods for the detection of particle based on digital holography are presented and compared. The image processing methods are developed based on edge detection and threshold based segmentation. The proposed methods have been applied on reconstructed images of holograms of ceramic beads and certified microspheres. Particle size distribution obtained for both methods are found to be in good agreement with the actual size, but the processing speed for threshold based detection has found to be faster in compared to the edge detection method.
