This paper proposes an intermediate image generation method for the viewer's view point by tracking the viewer's face, which is converted to a digital hologram. Its purpose is to increase the viewing angle of a digital hologram, which is gathering higher and higher interest these days. The method assumes that the image information for the leftmost and the rightmost view points within the viewing angle to be controlled are given. It uses a stereo-matching method between the leftmost and the rightmost depth images to obtain the pseudo-disparity increment per depth value. With this increment, the positional informations from both the leftmost view point and the rightmost view point are generated, which are blended to get the information at the wanted intermediate viewpoint. The occurrable dis-occlusion region in this case is defined and a inpainting method is proposed. The results from implementing and experimenting this method showed that the average image qualities of the generated depth and RGB image were 33.83[dB] and 29.5[dB], respectively, and the average execution time was 250[ms] per frame. Also, we propose a prototype system to service digital hologram interactively to the viewer by using the proposed intermediate view generation method. It includes the operations of data acquisition for the leftmost and the rightmost viewpoints, camera calibration and image rectification, intermediate view image generation, computer-generated hologram (CGH) generation, and reconstruction of the hologram image. This system is implemented in the LabView(R) environments, in which CGH generation and hologram image reconstruction are implemented with GPGPUs, while others are implemented in software. The implemented system showed the execution speed to process about 5 frames per second.

In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to enhance document security by integrating Computer Generated Hologram(CGH) encryption technology with a system for document encryption, printing, and subsequent verification using a smartphone application. The proposed system enables the encryption of documents using CGH technology and their printing on the edges of the document, simplifying document verification and validation through a smartphone application. Furthermore, the system leverages high-resolution smartphone cameras to perform online verification of the original document and supports offline document decryption, ensuring tamper detection even in environments without internet connectivity. This research contributes to the development of a comprehensive and versatile solution for document security and integrity, with applications in various domains.

This paper proposes a hologram data compression scheme that uses the existing image/video compression techniques, in which the existing techniques are modified appropriately to fit to the characteristics of hologram. In this paper we use CGH as the hologram data. The proposed scheme uses the generation characteristics of a CGH to consist of a pre-processing, spatial segmentation of a CGH, frequency-transformation with 2D-DCT (2-dimensional discrete cosine transform), and motion estimation and residual image generation in the frequency-domain. It uses H.264/AVC, the lossless compressor BinHex, and a linear quantizer that we have made. From the experiments the proposed scheme showed the image quality of about 25.4 dB at the compression ratio of 10:1 and about 16.5dB at 90:1 compression ratio.

A CGH is a hologram generated by computer. It is widely applied to wavefront manipulation, synthesis, optical information processing and interferometer. Some methods have been used to determine the optimum phase pattern to achieve high diffraction efficiency and uniform intensity such as DBS (Direct Binary Search), SA (Simulated Annealing), GA(Genetic Algorithm). These methods require long computation time to generate a hologram. (omitted)

본 논문에서는 고속으로 홀로그램을 생성하기 위해 새로운 컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램(computer-generated hologram, CGH) 수식을 제안하고, 셀 기반의 VLSI(very large scale integrated circuit) 구조를 제안하였다. 기본 CGH 수식에서 가로 또는 세로 방향의 연산 규칙을 찾아낸 후 가로 또는 세로 방향의 홀로그램 화소를 병렬적으로 구할 수 있는 수식을 유도하였다. 제안한 수식을 바탕으로 초기 파라미터 연산기(initial parameter calculator)와 업데이트-위상 연산기(update-phase calculator)로 구성된 CGH 셀의 구조를 제안하고 하드웨어로 구현하였다. 수식의 변형을 통해서 하드웨어를 간략화 시킬 수 있었고, CGH의 확장을 통해 가로 방향으로 병렬화시킬 수 있는 하드웨어 구조도 보였다. 실험에서는 하드웨어에 사용된 자원을 분석하였다. CGH 커널과 프로세서의 구조는 이전 연구에서 사용된 플랫폼을 그대로 사용하였다.

We propose a digital watermarking technique using a computer generated hologram. The proposed method uses two random patterns separated from the computer generated hologram (CGH). One of those is embedded into the original image as hidden watermark information and then the reconstructed image can be obtained by an optical decoding algorithm with the other one as a decoding key. We analyze an occlusion of the watermarked image that is the original image containing the hidden pattern. The embedding process is performed digitally and reconstruction optically Computer simulation and an optical experiment are shown in support of the proposed technique.

Interferometric metrology with a null CGH(computer-generated hologram) is presented for measuring highly aspheric surfaces used in a large screen projection television system with high accuracy. The cubic spline surface model which works in a single-pass configuration with a refractive index of object space 0 is used for designing a null CGH. A hybrid null corrector with plano-concave lens in front of a CGH is presented to make the CGH easier to fabricate. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique.

In this thesis, Lohmann's algorithm and FFT (fast Fourier transform) are used to synthesize binary-phase holograms. FFT computing is carried out for the calculation of complex wavefronts of $128{\times}128$ sampling points of an object that is numerically specified. Then using the Lohmann's algorithm, the amplitude and the phase of complex wavefronts are encoded in binary holograms on each sampling points. PC (personal computer) and laser printer are used to plot binary-phase holograms and CGH (computer generated holograms) films are obtained from this plot by photographic reduction. Holographic images of numerically specified objects are reconstructed from the He-Ne laser and the inverse Fourier optics system. We estimate the quality of holographic images according to the sampling number, application of random phase, amplitude clipping and bleaching the CGH film. We derive optimized conditions to reconstruct better holographic images and to reduce the speckle noise. FFT and Lohmann's algorithm are implemented with MS Visual BASIC 6.0 for the programming of binary-phase hologram.

Directly converting the focal depth and image size of computer-generated-hologram (CGH), which is obtained by calculating the interference pattern of light from the 3D image, is known to be quite difficult because of the less similarity between the CGH and the original image. This paper proposes a method for separately converting the each of focal length of the given CGH, which is composed of multi-depth images. Firstly, the proposed technique converts the 3D image reproduced from the CGH into a Light-Field (LF) image composed of a set of 2D images observed from various angles, and the positions of the moving objects for each observed views are checked using an object detection algorithm YOLOv5 (You-Only-Look-Once-version-5). After that, by adjusting the positions of objects, the depth-transformed LF image and CGH are generated. Numerical simulations and experimental results show that the proposed technique can change the focal length within a range of about 3 cm without significant loss of the image quality when applied to the image which have original depth of 10 cm, with a spatial light modulator which has a pixel size of 3.6 ㎛ and a resolution of 3840⨯2160.

A laser scanner utilizing a computer-generated hologram(CGH) as beam deflector is reported. The CGH optical element has been used mainly for under-filled scanning. Here, a CGH optical element for overfilled scanning is proposed. It can achieve, under the same limitation of fabrication accuracy, better resolution and longer scan length than those for under-filled scanning. Measured scanning characteristics of the laser scanner show the scan length of 40 cm and the beam diameter of 100\ulcorner, where the designed minimum distance between the lines of CGH is 8\ulcorner.
