HI-SPEED COMPUTER-GENERATED HOLOGRAM ALGORITHM

This paper proposes an algorithm that increases the speed of generating a Fresnel hologram using a recursive addition operation covering the whole coordinate array of a digital hologram. The 3D object designed to calculate the digital hologram used the depth-map image produced by computer graphics (CG). The proposed algorithm is a technique that performs CGH (computer generated hologram) operation with only the recursive addition from the hologram's whole coordinates by analyzing the regularity between the 3D object and the digital hologram coordinates. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm increased operation speed by 30% over the technique using the conventional CGH equation.
