Abstract
When a digital hologram is reconstructed, only points located at the reconstruction distance are in focus.
We have developed a novel technique for creating an in-focus image of the macroscopic objects encoded in
a digital hologram. This extended focused image is created by combining numerical reconstructions with
depth information extracted by using our depth-from-focus algorithm. To our knowledge, this is the first
technique that creates extended focused images of digital holograms encoding macroscopic objects. We
present results for digital holograms containing low- and high-contrast macroscopic objects.
