Multi-Plane 3-D Holographic Image Fusion in DCT Domain

Abstract:

An improved multi-plane imaging fusion algorithm for 3-D digital holography is presented. Multiple reconstructed images at different distances from single off-axis Fresnel digital hologram are fused using discrete cosine transform (DCT) with different blocks. The zero order term is removed using a Laplacian operator while the conjugate image and dispersed images of defocused objects are eliminated by selecting a simple rectangular window before image fusion. Compared with those fused images obtained directly from the reconstructed images, the fused images qualities are greatly improved and all of the objects will be clearly in focus more quickly than discrete wavelet (DWT) based fusion method.
