Abstract
Conventional look-up table(LT) has gained a lot of speed increase in generation of digital holograms for 3D objects, but it has required an enormous memory size of the LT. In this paper, a novel approach to dramatically reduce the size of the conventional LT, still keeping its advantage of fast computational speed is proposed, which is called here a N-LT(novel look-up table) method. In the proposed method, only the fringe patterns of the center points on each image plane are pre-calculated, called elemental fringe patterns and stored in the look-up table. Then, the fringe patterns for other object points on each image plane can be obtained by simply shifting this pre-calculated elemental fringe pattern according to the displaced values from the center to those points and adding them together. Some experimental results revealed that the computational speed and the required memory size of the proposed approach are found to be 48.7 times faster than that of the ray-tracing method and 217 times smaller than that of the conventional LT method, respectively.
