    Abstract

    Deep artificial neural network learning is an emerging tool in image analysis. We demonstrate its poten- tial in the field of digital holographic microscopy by addressing the challenging problem of determining the in-focus reconstruction depth of an arbitrary epithelial cell cluster encoded in a digital hologram. A deep convolutional neural network learns the in-focus depths from half a million hologram amplitude images. The trained network correctly determines the in-focus depth of new holograms with high probability, with- out performing numerical propagation. To our knowledge, this is the first application of deep learning in the field of digital holographic microscopy.
