Ensemble convolutional neural network for classifying holograms of deformable objects

Recently, a method known as "ensemble deep learning invariant hologram classification" (EDL-IHC) for classifying of holograms of deformable objects with deep learning network (DLN) has been demonstrated. However DL-IHC requires substantial computational resources to attain near perfect success rate (≥99 ). In practice, it is always desirable to have higher success rate with a low complexity DLN. In this paper we propose a low complexity DLN known as "ensemble deep learning invariant hologram classification" (EDL-IHC). In comparison with DL-IHC, our proposed hologram classifier has promoted the success rate by 2.86% in the classification of holograms of handwritten numerals.
