Abstract

SIGNIFICANCE: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a prominent technology in computational imaging over the past decade. The expeditious and label-free characteristics of quantitative phase imaging (QPI) render it a promising contender for AI investigation. Though interferometric methodologies exhibit potential efficacy, their implementation involves complex experimental platforms and computationally intensive reconstruction procedures. Hence, non-interferometric methods, such as transport of intensity equation (TIE), are preferred over interferometric methods.
