Abstract
The speckle noise generated during digital holographic interferometry (DHI) is unavoidable and difficult to eliminate, thus reducing its accuracy. We propose a self-supervised deep-learning speckle denoising method using a cycle-consistent generative adversarial network to mitigate the effect of speckle noise. The proposed method integrates a 4-f optical speckle noise simulation module with a parameter generator. In addition, it uses an unpaired dataset for training to overcome the difficulty in obtaining noise-free images and paired data from experiments. The proposed method was tested on both simulated and experimental data, with results showing a 6.9% performance improvement compared with a conventional method and a 2.6% performance improvement compared with unsupervised deep learning in terms of the peak signal-to-noise ratio. Thus, the proposed method exhibits superior denoising performance and potential for DHI, being particularly suitable for processing large datasets.
