Recently, the novel loop-up table(N-LUT) method to solve the tremendous memory problem of the conventional look-up table (LUT) method as well as to increase the generation speed of hologram patterns has been proposed. But, as the resolution of an input 3-D object is enhanced, the number of object points to be calculated for generation of its hologram pattern also increases, which results in a sharp increase of the computation time. Therefore, in this paper, a new approach for fast generation of the hologram pattern of 3-D object images is proposed by using the block redundancy feature of 3-D object images and the N-LUT method. Experimental results show that in the proposed method the number of object points and the overall computation time have been reduced by 43.3 % and 47.9 %, respectively compared to those of the conventional method for the case of the $5{\times}5$ block size. These good experimental results finally confirm the feasibility of the proposed method.

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the efficient generation of computer-generated holograms (CGHs) using the spatially redundant data on a 3D object and the novel look-up table (N-LUT) method. First, the pre-calculated N-point principle fringe patterns (PFPs) were calculated using the 1-point PFP of the N-LUT. Second, spatially redundant data on a 3D object were extracted and re-grouped into the N-point redundancy map using the run-length encoding (RLE) method. Then CGH patterns were generated using the spatial redundancy map and the N-LUT method. Finally, the generated hologram patterns were reconstructed. In this approach, the object points that were involved in the calculation of the CGH patterns were dramatically reduced, due to which the computational speed was increased. Some experiments with a test 3D object were carried out and the results were compared with those of conventional methods.

In this paper, a new method to efficiently generate the 3-D(three-dimensional) video holograms for 3-D moving scenes, which is called here the TSR-N-LUT method, is proposed by the combined use of temporal-spatial redundancy(TSR) of 3-D video images and novel look-up table(N-LUT) technique. That is, in the proposed scheme, with the differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) algorithm, temporally redundancy redundant data in the inter-frame of a 3-D video images are removed between the frames, and then inter-line redundant data in the inter-frame of 3-D video images are also removed by using the DPCM method between the lines. Experimental results show that the proposed method could reduced the number of calculated object points and the calculation time of one object point by 23.72% and 19.55%, respectively on the average compared to the conventional method. Good experimental results with 3-D test moving pictures finally confirmed the feasibility of the proposed method to the fast generation of CGH patterns of the 3-D video images.
