Automatic depth map retrieval from digital holograms using a depth-from-focus approach

Abstract

Recovering the scene depth map from a computer-generated hologram is a problem that remains unsolved, despite the growing interest in the subject. In this paper, we propose to study the application of depth-from-focus (DFF) methods to retrieve the depth information from the hologram. We discuss the different hyperparameters that are required for the application of the method and their impact on the final result. The obtained results show that DFF methods can be used for depth estimation from the hologram if the set of hyperparameters is well chosen.
