HoloSea S7 6 APPENDIX
The basic principle of digital in-line holographic imaging
The reconstructed images can be further analyzed, saved, or assembled into the volume recon-
structions based on the application.
6.2 Software
The holograms acquired by the HoloSea camera need to be properly processed in order to recon-
struct the image.
4Deep provides 3 standard software packages, Swordfish, Octopus and Stingray, which incorpo-
rate our patented fast hologram reconstruction algorithm as well as additional functionality.
Swordfish is a particle counting software capable of detecting, counting and measuring particles in
real time with the speed of up to 10 frames per second.
Octopus is a general purpose research-grade software package that can reconstruct holograms
acquired by the HoloSea camera at the rate of up to 22 frames per second. Octopus provides
advanced 3D visualization and particle detection capabilities.
Stingray is an automated particle recognition and morphology classification software platform. It
develops a user defined database from which it learns the type of objects to be detected.
Please refer to the Swordfish, Stingray and Octopus brochures and manuals available at www.4-
deep.com for the additional details on software installation and use.
Custom software solutions can be developed by 4Deep based on customer specifications. Contact
