Fringe pattern denoising based on deep learning

In this paper, deep learning as a novel algorithm is proposed to reduce the noise of the fringe patterns. Usually, the training samples are acquired through experimental acquisition, but these data can be easily obtained by simulations in the proposed algorithm. Thus, the time cost used for the whole training process is greatly reduced. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated through the analysis on the simulated and real fringe patterns. It is obvious that the proposed algorithm has a faster calculation speed compared with existing denoising algorithm, and recovers the fringe patterns with high quality. Most importantly, the proposed algorithm may provide a solution to other denoising problems in the field of optics, such as hologram and speckle denoising
