Abstract
In digital holography, the speckle noise caused by the coherent nature of the light source and the light scattering generated by the light path system degrade the quality of the reconstructed image seriously. Therefore, in this paper, we propose what we believe to be is a novel noise reduction method combining bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) with the variational method, termed BEMDV. The reconstructed image is first decomposed into a series of bidimensional intrinsic mode function (BIMF) components with different frequencies using the BEMD method, and then a certain number of BIMF components are selected for noise reduction by the variational method. An improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is adopted to optimize the key parameters of the proposed method, so as to further improve its noise reduction performance. A reflective off-axis digital holographic imaging system is used to collect the holograms of the coin and optical resolution plate, and the experimental research on noise reduction is carried out. The results with qualitative and quantitative analyses show that the proposed method achieves a better performance on noise reduction and detail preservation than other general methods, enormously enhancing the image quality of holographic reconstruction.
