摘要

Two-step-only quadrature phase-shifting digital holography can reconstruct the original complex object using only two holograms without the additional recording of the reference wave intensity and the object wave intensity Its success depends on the accurate estimation of the reference wave intensity from the two acquired holograms. The previous estimation method is relatively computational expensive. In this paper, we present a novel simple and effective method for estimating the reference wave intensity with low computational load. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and speedup of the proposed method. 2014 Elsevier B.V.
