Recently, research on disease diagnosis using red blood cells (RBCs) has been active due to the advantage that it is possible to diagnose many diseases with a drop of blood in a short time. Representatively, there are disease diagnosis technologies that utilize deep learning techniques and digital holographic microscope (DHM) techniques. However, three-dimensional (3D) profile obtained by DHM has a problem of random noise caused by the overlapping DC spectrum and sideband in the Fourier domain, which has the probability of misjudging diseases in deep learning technology. To reduce random noise and obtain a more accurate 3D profile, in this paper, we propose a novel image processing method which randomly selects the center of the high-frequency sideband (RaCoHS) in the Fourier domain. This proposed algorithm has the advantage of filtering while using only recorded hologram information to maintain high-frequency information. We compared and analyzed the conventional filtering method and the general image processing method to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, the proposed image processing algorithm can be applied to all digital holography technologies including DHM, and in particular, it is expected to have a great effect on the accuracy of disease diagnosis technologies using DHM.
