Though, to an extent digital holographic microscopy has mended this gap [8][9][10][11][12]; however, this imaging technique is expert and resource intensive with heavy computational load, which necessitates development of an accurate and sensitive numerical reconstruction algorithm for meaningful data processing and results [13].

... Regarding accuracy, the concept of source trustworthiness [31] plays large role, and data quality can usually only be improved by collecting additional data: In [32], the authors predict the same task labels with features collected from different sensors as data sources and find that even though the features reflect the same concepts, differences in data quality can have a drastic impact on classification performance. Similarly, [33] finds that different camera sensors severely impact the quality of water turbidity estimation, and [34] observe qualitative differences in depth estimations based on different sensors. A technique for improving accuracy in the absence of trustworthy sources is pointed out by [35], where many cheap labels from noisy labelers are combined. ...
