The specular hologram is one type of hologram, and it consists of many arcs. They are very easy to fabricate and can even be machined by hand and a compass. In this study, we designed two squares having different depths and consisting of many arcs, after which we machined the arcs using end-mill technology. The width of the machined arcs showed high repeatability. Moving tracks were observed on the bottom surface, and top burrs were noted. In spite of them, the phenomenon of the specular hologram was observed when an observer and a light source stood on the same side. The two squares seemed to have different depths when they were observed from the left and right directions. In this study, it was verified that a specular hologram can be manufactured by end-mill technology.

For digital holographic video system, it is important to generate digital hologram as fast as possible. This paper proposed a fixed-point method and fast generation method that can calculate the Fresnel hologram using operation of whole-coordinate recursive addition. To compute the digital hologram, 3D object is assumed to be a collection of depth-map point generated using a PC. Our algorithm can compute a phase on a hologram by recursive addition with fixed-point format at a high speed. When we operated this algorithm on a personal computer, we could maximally compute digital hologram about 70% faster than conventional method and about 30% faster than of [3]'s method.

The meaning of hologram is widely used as a similar hologram. The use of holograms has been proposed in many cases. In this paper, we present an outline of similar holograms using up to 3 or 4 facets, and express the similar holograms using the results produced by 3D modeling of the university headquarters building at Wonkwang University. Through this, a virtual building seen by the human eye can be virtually shown in space through a hologram among various methods shown in a virtual space such as AR / VR / MR. Through this study, it is possible to try to construct a new digital contents utilization area by expressing various materials such as buildings or cultural property buildings through hologram.

We propose a method to suppress the speckle noise and blur effects of the light field extracted from a hologram using a deep-learning technique. The light field can be extracted by bandpass filtering in the hologram's frequency domain. The extracted light field has reduced spatial resolution owing to the limited passband size of the bandpass filter and the blurring that occurs when the object is far from the hologram plane and also contains speckle noise caused by the random phase distribution of the three-dimensional object surface. These limitations degrade the reconstruction quality of the hologram resynthesized using the extracted light field. In the proposed method, a deep-learning model based on a generative adversarial network is designed to suppress speckle noise and blurring, resulting in improved quality of the light field extracted from the hologram. The model is trained using pairs of original two-dimensional images and their corresponding light-field data extracted from the complex field generated by the images. Validation of the proposed method is performed using light-field data extracted from holograms of objects with single and multiple depths and mesh-based computer-generated holograms.

This paper is to propose a scalable video coding scheme for adaptive digital hologram video service for various reconstruction environments. It uses both the light source information and digital hologram at both the sending side and the receiving side. It is a resolution-scalable coding method that scales the resolution, that is, the size of the reconstructed image. The method compresses the residual data for both the digital hologram and the light source information. For the digital hologram, a lossy compression method is used, while for the light source information, a lossless compression method is used. The experimental results showed that the proposed method is superior to the existing method in the image quality at the same compression ratio. Especially it showed better performance than the existing method as the compression ratio becomes higher.

This paper is to propose a method to obtain a new digital hologram content, a high value-added digital content, by manipulating one or more existing digital hologram contents or depth informations. For the depth informations, we use both the ones converted from disparities by stereo matching and the ones taken by time-of-flight (TOF) depth cameras. For them, we analyze the properties and their differences for the two kinds of depth informations and propose a conversion method to homogenize them. By using them, we propose a method to convert and synthesize the depth informations to calculate a new CGH. Also, we propose a method to get a new digital hologram content by synthesizing the digital holograms themselves according to their linearity. The proposed methods are experimented with various depth informations and digital holograms to show that they are very effective as the manipulating methods for digital hologram contents.

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.

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.

In this paper, an incoherent holographic 3D imaging and display system based on the modified triangular and Mach-Zehnder interferometers is optically implemented and some experiments are carried out. Incoherent hologram of a 3D object is generated by using the hologram input system of modified triangular interferometer. Then this complex hologram is reconstructed by using the hologram output system of modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer in which two LCD spatial light modulators and a waveplate are inserted. From the experiment with two point sources having a depth difference of 100 mm each other, it is revealed that each point source can be independently reconstructed at its own focal position from the complex hologram, while both of the bias and conjugate image are simultaneously eliminated at the same time. And in the experiment with the real 3D object of two dices having a depth difference of 30 mm each other, it is also conformed that the bias and conjugate image can be effectively eliminated from the hologram pattern and each 3D dice can be also successfully reconstructed at its own focal position from the complex hologram. These experiment results finally suggest a possibility of implementing a new incoherent holographic 3D imaging and display system using the modified triangular and Mach-Zehender interferometers.

In this paper, we proposed an improvement technique of image encryption using binary phase computer generated hologram(BPCGH) and multi exclusive-OR(XOR) operations. For the encryption process, a BPCGH that reconstructs the original image is designed, using an iterative algorithm, and the resulting hologram is regarded as the image to be encrypted. The BPCGH is encrypted through the exclusive-OR operation with the random generated phase key image. Then the encrypted image is divided into several slide images using XOR operations. So, the performance of encryption for the image is improved. For the decryption process, we cascade the encrypted slide images and phase key image and interfere with reference wave. Then decrypted hologram image is transformed into phase information. Finally, the original image is recovered by an inverse Fourier transformation of the phase information. If the slide images are changed, we can get various decrypted BPCGH images. In the proposed security system, without a random generated key image, the original image can not be recovered. And we recover another hologram pattern according to the slide images, so it can be used in the differentiated authorization system.
