This paper presents a new method to synthesize a digital hologram that meets the resolution of a currently manufactured LCD while capable of displaying a 3-D object. That is accomplished by segmenting a hologram, resulting in relaxed sampling constraint. We show that the segmentation of a hologram enables us to utilize the planewave approximation and, unlike in a holographic stereogram, it does not require projection process, but directly takes fourier transform of horizontally sliced 2-D images that constitute a 3-D object, which makes it possible to reconstruct a higher resolution image with depth information. We also show that proposed hologram contains data significantly smaller than the conventional hologram does, which is quite useful for constructing wide-viewing hologram. Finally, simulation results obtained by both methods are compared.

Holography is a technique that can acquire and reproduce 3D objects nearly perfectly by representing both the amplitude and phase of light. Recently, digital holography has received considerable attention because it is simpler than analog holography from acquisition to reproduction. The data size of the digital hologram increases tremendously as the quality of digital holograms depends on their pixel pitch and resolution. Hence, efficient compression is necessary to realize holographic imaging services. In this report, we introduce recent digital hologram compression techniques and JPEG Pleno holography, which is the first international standardization activity for digital hologram compression. Furthermore, we discuss the future of this field.

In this paper, we propose a new method which estimates and encrypts significant component of digital hologram using discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT). After analyzing the characteristics of digital hologram in spatial and frequency domain, the required information for ciphering digital hologram was extracted. Based on this information an ciphering method was proposed with wavelet transform and packetization of subbands. The proposed algorithm can encrypt digital hologram in various robust from selecting transform-level and energy threshold. From analyzing the encryption effect numerically and visually, the optimized parameter for encryption is presented. Without additional analyzing process, one can encrypt efficiently digital hologram using the proposed parameter. Although only 0.032% among total data is encrypted, the reconstructed object dose not identified. The paketization information of subbands and the cipher key can be used for the entire secret key.

A digital watermark is an invisible mark embedded in a digital image which used for copyright protection. In this paper, we propose a new optical watermarking system. A optical watermarking system is applied for digital watermarking by phase hologram and Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A optical watermarking technique to be hidden is phase modulated in a random patten, and its Fourier-transformed hologram image is superposed on a content image. The autentication information extract by using Mach-zehnder interferometer.

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.

Hologram can be categorized into analog and digital hologram but there's a clear limitation in expensive equipment and content realization for ordinary people to realize. In addition, it's required to conduct study on hologram contents with interaction added, escaping out of exiting stable format like endlessly repetitive contents or passive view through specific video. Therefore, this article aims to suggest fusion image system, especially focusing on floating hologram among similar holograms. Eight elements of hologram interaction are as follows: height of camera in a three-dimensional space, interval between 3D model, overlapped model, scale, animation, position, color and 3D model change. For the floating hologram, the audience can control by themselves in real time, the popular, active hologram contents-making methodology is suggested by making the best use of fusion image system and making floating hologram easily without using expensive hologram equipment. The image system developed in actual exhibition and feedback should be complemented to develop better hologram image system.

This study analyzed cases that applied hologram technology in the fashion industry in order to provide basic information for research on fashion marketing using hologram technology. The results of this study are as follows. A hologram was applied to fashion businesses in various ways including fashion shows, outdoor signboards, hologram windows or screens in stores, and launching shows or exhibitions. Most of these cases were foreign fashion brands, which utilized hologram technology actively for formulating a new brand image or for advertising products. Among Korean brands, however, there are not many cases of hologram application. Today, as-being the age of smart devices, the mobile advertisement market is growing rapidly among smart phone users. DKNY and Puma are providing information on styling through smart phone applications, and the Adidas stores in Germany also allow the customers to buy goods by entering a simple code through the smart phone. Recently, new devices are being introduced one by one, which display 2D digital contents in 3D holograms by combining mobile and hologram technologies. The marketing of fashion products is not just for supplying products but is required to satisfy the consumers' five senses. Therefore, the development of experiential contents based on the combination of mobile and hologram technologies will open new potential for profitable business models.

In this paper, we propose a digital watermarking algorithm for digital hologram generated by computer generated hologram(CGH) method. Digital hologram generated by a computer calculation(CGH) is one of the most expensive contents and its usage is being expanded. Thus, it is highly necessary to protect the ownership of digital hologram. In this paper two digital watermarking schemes are introduced hologram-domain and global 2DDCT-domain scheme. Proposed watermarking scheme showed very high imperceptibility and quite high robustness against the attacks. The purpose of this paper is to introduce these global 2DDCT based watermarking schemes. Thus, we expect that these and the contents in this paper can be very useful bases for the further digital watermarking schemes of the digital holograms.

In this paper we have applied self-reference hologram to DHM (digital holography microscopy) to remove phase aberration. We have constructed an off-axis reflection- type digital holography microscope. We have extracted a low spatial frequency hologram from the conjugated hologram and used it as a reference hologram. Experimentally we show that distortion of image and aberration of phase in a measurement system are removed using the self-reference hologram.
