Fast Hologram Synthesis for 3D Geometry Models using Graphics Hardware

چکیده
The holographic visualization of three-dimensional object geometry still represents a major challenge in computational holography research. Besides the development of suitable holographic display devices, the fast calculation of the hologram’s interference pattern for complex-shaped three-dimensional objects is an important pre-requisite of any interactive holographic display system. We present a fast method for rendering full-parallax holograms using a standard PC with a consumer-market graphics card. To calculate the hologram of a 3D object, scaled and translated versions of the interference pattern of simple primitives, e.g. point sources, are superimposed. The hologram is built up completely on-board the graphics card. To avoid numerical inaccuracies due to limited frame-buffer resolution, we use a hierarchical approach. Using an NVidia Geforce4 graphics card, the proposed algorithm takes 1.0 second to calculate the 512x512-pixel hologram of 1024 primitives.

1 We present a method to analytically compute the light distribution of triangles directly in frequency space. This allows for fast evaluation, shading and propagation of light from 3D mesh objects using angular spectrum methods. The algorithm complexity is only dependant on the hologram resolution and the polygon count of the 3D model. In contrast to other polygon based computer generated holo...
