Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a new VLSI architecture which can generate computer-generated hologram (CGH) in real-time and implemented to hardware. The modified algorithm for high-performance CGH was introduced and re-analyzed (or designing hardware. from both numerical and visual analysis, the infernal number system of hardware was decided. CGH algorithm and precision analysis enabled to propose a new cell architecture for CGH. The operational sequence was analyzed with the architecture of CGH cell and the characteristics of the modified CGH algorithm, and finally the pipelined architecture and the operational timing were proposed.

본 논문에서는 실시간으로 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램을 생성할 수 있는 VLSI 구조를 제안하고 하드웨어로 구현하였다. 고속으로 디지털 홀로그램을 생성할 수 있는 수정된 알고리즘을 도입하고, 하드웨어 구현을 위해 재해석하였다. 수치 및 시각적인 정밀도 분석으로부터 하드웨어 내부의 비트 너비를 구하였다. CGH 알고리즘의 분석과 정밀도 분석 결과부터 CGH 셀의 구조를 제안하였다. CGH 셀의 구조와 알고리즘의 특성으로부터 동작 순서를 분석하였고, 파이프라인 구조와 동작적인 타이밍을 제안하였다.
