System and method for generating virtual light source and virtual light source hologram image

A method for generating a virtual light source and a virtual light source hologram image, the method comprising:

• a hologram information acquisition step in which a hologram information acquisition unit is configured to acquire at least one piece of hologram information using an optical system comprising a first light source and a second light source;
• an artificial neural network model deriving step in which an artificial neural network model deriving unit is configured to perform machine learning using the hologram information and to derive a learned artificial neural network model based on a machine learning result;
• a hologram image acquisition step in which a hologram image acquisition unit is configured to acquire a hologram image of a specimen using the first light source;
• and
• a virtual light source hologram image output step in which a virtual light source hologram image output unit is configured to generate and output the virtual light source hologram image, which is a hologram image using the virtual light source, using the learned artificial neural network model,
• wherein the learned artificial neural network model is the virtual light source.
