This paper proposes a method to embed and extract a watermark on a digital hologram using a deep neural network. The entire algorithm for watermarking digital holograms consists of three sub-networks. For the robustness of watermarking, an attack simulation is inserted inside the deep neural network. By including attack simulation and holographic reconstruction in the network, the deep neural network for watermarking can simultaneously train invisibility and robustness. We propose a network training method using hologram and reconstruction. After training the proposed network, we analyze the robustness of each attack and perform re-training according to this result to propose a method to improve the robustness. We quantitatively evaluate the results of robustness against various attacks and show the reliability of the proposed technique.
