Paper Abstract
The determination of focused image plane is the key of numerical reconstruction of wavefront. In this paper, three
autofocus algorithms for digital holographic microscopy, including statistical algorithm, histogram-based algorithms and
Fourier spectrum algorithm, are studied based on experimental investigation. For pure amplitude objects, three
autofocusing evaluation functions for digital holographic microscopy are compared and analyzed based on Fresnel and
angular spectrum algorithms, including unimodality, sharpness, veracity, distance range and computing time. The results
demonstrate that Fresnel transform algorithm can be absolutely used to digital holographic autofocusing. When the focus
distance is reached, the value of the focused evaluation function is maximum for pure amplitude object. For real digital
hologram, there are better unimodality near the focused image plane for all three autofocusing evaluation functions, and
the same focused position is obtained by these algorithms. Variance algorithm has better sharpness then others. Fourier
spectrum algorithm is the most time-effective one, which is the optimal one in digital holographic microscopy. Moreover,
the focusing computation time can be decreased dramatically by choosing part of the reconstructed image as the focusing
area.
