Multiple view projection holography is a method to obtain a digital hologram by recording different views of a 3D scene with a conventional digital camera. Those views are digitally manipulated in order to create the digital hologram. The method requires a simple setup and operates under white light illuminating conditions. The multiple views are often generated by a camera translation, which u...

Recent advances in digital holography, optical engineering and computer graphics have opened up the possibility of full parallax, three dimensional displays. The premises of these rendering systems are however somewhat different from traditional imaging and video systems. Instead of rendering an image of the scene, the complete light distribution must be computed. In this thesis we discuss some...

We propose a method of synthesizing computer-generated holograms of real-life three-dimensional (3-D) objects. An ordinary digital camera illuminated by incoherent white light records several projections of the 3-D object from different points of view. The recorded data are numerically processed to yield a two-dimensional complex function, which is then encoded as a computer-generated hologram....

We compare the resolution of the hologram reconstruction synthesis methods based on integral imaging using rectangular and hexagonal lens arrays. By using a hexagonal lens array instead of conventional rectangular lens array, the three-dimensional objects are sampled with hexagonal grids. Due to more efficient sampling of the hexagonal grid, the resolution of the reconstructed object is higher ...

We show that when a dynamic hologram is read out by illumination at the Bragg nulls of a previously recorded grating the diffracted beam inside the medium can result in the recording of two secondary gratings that alter the final selectivity curve. This is confirmed experimentally. This effect can cause cross talk in hologram multiplexing that is stronger than interpage cross talk when a small ...

N, N-dimethyl-4-nitroaniline doping enables red-light holographic recording that was originally insensitive in thick phenanthrenequinone/poly(methyl methacrylate) photopolymer to have reasonable sensitivity. A volume hologram was recorded by a 647 nm laser with maximum diffraction efficiency of about 43% in a 2-mm-thick sample. A Bragg selectivity curve and an image hologram reconstruction are ...

exposed. The light source is then shuttered and the clamp tightened. A hologram of the strained c-clamp is exposed onto the same recording material. After processing, illumination of the doubly exposed hologram results in the reconstruction of two wavefronts-one corresponding to each amount of strain on the c-clamp. These two waves interfere so as to form the fringes pictured here. Principles of

Theory and experiment show that for a hologram object of two or more object points, the nonlinearity of the photographic process causes reconstructed images in addition to both the desired reconstructed image and the higher order reconstructed images. It is theoretically and experimentally shown that for a plane object parallel to the hologram plane, some of these undesired images may be focuse...

Holographic storage in photorefractive crystals'` 3 has a high storage density owing to three-dimensional storage and a high readout rate owing to parallel retrieval. The practical development of such memories has been impeded by a lack of materials that have all the suitable properties. Specifically, the most difficult requirement to satisfy is the simultaneous need for materials that are maxi...

Holography is the optimal and the final choice among several techniques for imaging and displaying the three-dimensional (3D) objects. In this paper, we propose a new denoising algorithm for digital hologram using Fresnel transform (FT). The proposed algorithm initially transforms a digital hologram into frequency-domain data through a FT, and separates the object from the background in the tra...
