Abstract

Recently, holography has received much attention as the next generation visual technology. Hologram is obtained by the optical capturing, but in recent years it is mainly produced by the method using computer. This method is named by computer generated hologram (CGH). Since CGH requires huge computational amount, if it is implemented by S/W it can't work in real time. Therefore it should use FPGA or GPU for real time operation. If it is implemented in the type of H/W, it can't obtain the same quality as S/W due to the bit limitation of the internal system. In this paper, we analyze the bit width for minimizing the degradation of the hologram and reducing more hardware resources and propose guidelines for H/W implementation of CGH. To do this, we performs fixed-points simulations according to main internal variables and arithmetics, analyze the numerical and visual results, and present the optimal bit width according to application fields.

최근 차세대 영상 기술로 홀로그래피가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 홀로그램은 광학적인 촬영을 통해서 획득할 수도 있지만 최근에는 컴퓨터를 이용한 홀로그램 생성 방법을 많이 사용하고 있다. 이를 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램(computer generated hologram, CGH)이라 하는데 CGH는 많은 연산량이 요구되어 S/W를 이용하면 실시간으로 생성하는 것이 불가능하다. 따라서 실시간의 CGH를 위해서 FPGA나 GPU를 이용한 연산 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 하드웨어를 기반으로 하여 구현할 경우에 내부 시스템의 비트 제한으로 인하여 S/W와 같은 품질을 얻을 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 품질의 저하를 최소화하면서 하드웨어의 자원을 최대한 감소시킬 수 있는 하드웨어 비트 너비를 분석하여 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 1비트 단위의 고정소수점 시뮬레이션을 모든 내부 변수 및 연산과정에 대해 수행하고, 수치적인 결과와 시각적인 결과를 종합적으로 분석하여 최적의 비트 너비와 응용분야에 따른 비트 너비를 제시한다.
