Horizontal-parallax-only Optical Scanning Holography with an Electronic Low-pass Filter

Horizontal-parallax-only electronic holography.

The principle of optical scanning holography (OSH) is proposed to acquire horizontal-parallax-only (HPO) holographic information electronically. We first briefly summarize the results of OSH and then discuss how HPO-electronic holographic information can be acquired using OSH. Finally we provide simulations to illustrate and clarify the proposed idea. Although many ideas of HPO-holography have ...

Investigations of Horizontal - Parallax - Only Optical Scanning Holography ( HPO - OSH ) through MATLAB Simulations

Low Complexity Compression and Speed Enhancement for Optical Scanning Holography

In this paper we report a low complexity compression method that is suitable for compact optical scanning holography (OSH) systems with different optical settings. Our proposed method can be divided into 2 major parts. First, an automatic decision maker is applied to select the rows of holographic pixels to be scanned. This process enhances the speed of acquiring a hologram, and also lowers the...

Three-dimensional display of a horizontal-parallax-only hologram.

We propose a three-dimensional (3D) holographic display by converting an optically recorded complex full-parallax (FP) hologram to an off-axis horizontal-parallax-only (HPO) hologram. First, we record the complex FP hologram of an object using optical scanning holography. We then convert the complex FP hologram to an off-axis HPO hologram through fringe-matched Gaussian low-pass filtering and w...

Algorithm for converting full-parallax holograms to horizontal-parallax-only holograms.

We propose an algorithm that converts a full-parallax hologram to a horizontal-parallax-only (HPO) hologram for 3D display. We first record a full-parallax hologram of an object. Subsequently, we filter the hologram with a Gaussian low-pass filter and a fringe-matched filter along the vertical direction. The final filtered output becomes an HPO hologram. To the best of our knowledge, this is th...
