Abstract
Digital holography (DH) has been extensively applied in particle field measurements due to its promising capacity of providing simultaneous three-dimensional location and in-plane size of particles. Particle detection methods are crucial in hologram data processing to determine particle size and particle in-focus depth, which directly affect the measurement accuracy and robustness of DH. In this work, inspired by clustering algorithms, a new clustering-based particle detection (CBPD) method was proposed for DH. To the best of the authors' knowledge, it is the first time that clustering algorithms are applied in processing holograms for particle detection. The results of both simulations and experiments confirmed the feasibility of our proposed method. This data-driven method features automatic recognition of particles, particle edges and background, and accurate separation of overlapping particles. Compared with seven conventional particle detection methods, the CBPD method has improved accuracy in measuring particle positions and displacements.Keywords
