Abstract

In this Letter, we propose a new method for auto-focusing and reconstruction without defocus noise in optical scanning holography. By using a connected domain (CD) to calculate the area of different domains, which are labeled by a connected component, the focus distance can be found via the smallest area of each CD. Meanwhile, the sectional images without defocus noise can also be reconstructed based on the labeled domains. The effectiveness of this method has been verified with a simulation and experiments.
