Modified image fusion technique to remove defocus noise in optical scanning holography

In sectional image reconstruction based on optical scanning holography (OSH) system, tomographic images are always contaminated by defocus noise. Though lots of methods have been proposed to solve this problem, some unsatisfactory results remain. In this article, a modified image fusion method is presented based on wavelet transform and connected component algorithms to deal with the defects in a random-phase OSH system where different sectional images usually have a relative displacement, rotation and loss. The method can fully utilize redundant information and affine transformation to repair the defects, and the defocus noise can be removed well. The final sectional images are more visible.
