Guaranteeing interoperability between devices and applications is the core role of standards organizations. Since its first JPEG standard in 1992, the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) has published several image coding standards that have been successful in a plethora of imaging markets. Recently, these markets have become subject to potentially disruptive innovations owing to the rise of new imaging modalities such as light fields, point clouds, and holography. These so-called plenoptic modalities hold the promise of facilitating a more efficient and complete representation of 3D scenes when compared to classic 2D modalities. However, due to the heterogeneity of plenoptic products that will hit the market, serious interoperability concerns have arisen. In this paper, we particularly focus on the holographic modality and outline how the JPEG committee has addressed these tremendous challenges. We discuss the main use cases and provide a preliminary list of requirements. In addition, based on the discussion of real-valued and complex data representations, we elaborate on potential coding technologies that range from approaches utilizing classical 2D coding technologies to holographic content-aware coding solutions. Finally, we address the problem of visual quality assessment of holographic data covering both visual quality metrics and subjective assessment methodologies.

With the rapid increase in the elderly population, numerous problems arise related to the decreased cognitive function such as the declines of reaction time and concentration which are both resulting from ageing. Recently, ICT-based smart home and other residential services are being developed as a means of complementing human cognitive functions, but the elderly, who are in most cases digital-illiterate, find it hard to utilize these tools actively and if so it usually takes longer time and endeavor for the elderly to be familiarized with ICT devices. In this context, this study suggests a configuration of the holographic system in houses that complement the cognitive function of the elderly with the consideration of the interaction with the vision which is a critical function in the cognitive process. The method of this study consists of a literature review on topics including the characteristics of the cognitive function among the elderly, holographic technology and residential services; a configuration of residential services for different space types, depending on the aspects of the cognitive function among the elderly; and finally a suggestion of a holographic system configuration and application depending on various scenarios.

Holography technology which was developed by Dennis Gabor (1900~1979) in 1948 is a technology to record wave planes of actual 3D objects. It is known as the only technology which can express 3D information most perfectly close to human-friendly. Holography technology is widely used in advertisement, architecture and arts as well as science technology areas. Especially, digital holographic print which is an applied area is greatly used in military map, architecture map and cultural asset restoration by printing and reproducing 3D information. Holography is realized by recording and reproducing the amplitude and phase information on high resolution film using coherent light like laser. Recording materials for digital holographic printer are silver halide, photoresist and photopolymer. Because the materials have different diffraction efficiency according to film characteristics of each manufacturer, appropriate guide lines should be suggested through efficiency analysis of each film. This paper suggests appropriate guide lines through the diffraction efficiency measurement of silver halide which is a holographic printer recording medium. And the objective of this study is to suggest appropriate guide lines through diffraction efficiency analysis of Ultimate 08-C and PFG-03C which are commercially used. The experiment was prepared by self-diffraction efficiency system which measures the strength with the defector by penetrating RGB recording medium and concentrating diffracted beams through collimating lens. The experiment showed Geola's PFG-03C which is a silver halide for full color has price/performance advantage in optical hologram recording, but recording angles and reproduction angles are irregular for digital holographic printer recording. Ultimate's Ultimate08-C for full color shows its diffraction efficiency is relatively stable and high according to recording angles and laser wavelength.

Holographic data storage system (HDSS) features short access times, high storage capacities, and fast transfer rates, since the data is recorded and read not by lines but by pages within a volume of holographic material. Burst error caused by physical impact on the high density storage system becomes very longer than that of conventional storage systems. This paper proposes an LDPC product code using two LDPC code to resolve burst error. When a total code rate is similar, the performance of two LDPC code having high code rate is better than that of one LDPC code having low code rate. Also, with error factors of two-dimensional intersysbol interference and misalignment, the proposed scheme can improve the performance in holographic data storage system.

In this paper, the channel decoder promising reliable data retrieving in noisy holographic channel has been developed for holographic WORM(write once read many) system. It covers various DSP(digital signal processing) blocks, such as align mark detector, adaptive channel equalizer, modulation decoder and ECC(error correction code) decoder. The specific schemes of DSP are designed to reduce the effect of noises in holographic WORM(H-WORM) system, particularly in prototype of DAEWOO electronics(DEPROTO). For real time data retrieving, the channel decoder is redesigned for FPGA(field programmable gate array) based hardware, where DSP blocks calculate in parallel sense with memory buffers between blocks and controllers for driving peripherals of FPGA. As an input source of the experiments, MPEG2 TS(transport stream) data was used and recorded to DEPROTO system. During retrieving, the CCD(charge coupled device), capturing device of DEPROTO, detects retrieved images and transmits signals of them to the FPGA of hardware channel decoder. Finally, the output data stream of the channel decoder was transferred to the MPEG decoding board for monitoring video signals. The experimental results showed the error corrected BER(bit error rate) of less than $10^{-9}$, from the raw BER of DEPROTO, about $10^{-3}$. With the developed hardware channel decoder, the real-time video demonstration was possible during the experiments. The operating clock of the FPGA was 60 MHz, of which speed was capable of decoding up to 120 mega channel bits per sec.

We introduce two-dimensional soft output Viterbi algorithm (2D SOVA) and iterative 2D SOVA for holographic data storage. Since the holographic data storage is 2D intersymbol interference (ISI) channel, the 2D detection schemes have good performance at holographic data storage. The 2D SOVA and iterative 2D SOVA are 2D detection schemes. We introduce and compare the two 2D detection schemes. The 2D SOVA is approximately 2 dB better than one-dimensional (1D) detection scheme, and iterative 2D SOVA is approximately 1 dB better than the 2D SOVA. In contrast, the iterative 2D SOVA is approximately twice complex higher than 2D SOVA, and 2D SOVA is approximately twice complex higher than 1D detection scheme.

Supermultiview and electro-holographic displays are promising displays for the future because they provide continuous parallaxes as their depth cue. But they are still in the early development stage due to the lack of supporting technologies. Achieving the continuous parallax in the supermultiview relies more on the number and size of pixels in the pixel cell/elemental image rather than the number of different view images. For the electro-holographic display, it also relies on the number and size of pixels in the panel. So these two methods share the same requirements for achieving the parallax. But the image displayed on the holographic display provides more impressive visual appeal than that on the supermultiview because the image can be floated on the front space of the display.

Holographic data storage system is affected by two dimensional intersymbol interference and inter-page interference. Especially, for multi-level holographic data storage system, since one pixel contains more than 1 bit, the system is more vulnerable to the error. In this paper, we propose a 2/3 modulation code for 4-level holographic data storage system. The proposed modulation code with error correcting capability could be compensated these interferences. Also, in this paper, we proposed a Viterbi decoder for 2/3 modulation code. The proposed Viterbi decoder eliminates unnecessary calculation. As a result, proposed 2/3 modulation code and Viterbi decoder has shown better performance than conventional one.

In this paper, minimum mean-squared-error(MMSE) and blind equalization schemes were employed to improve bit-error-rate(BER) and to reduce inter-symbol interference(ISI) generated during storage and retrieval processes of two-dimensional data in a digital holographic data storage system. We explained methods for designing and applying MMSE and blind equalization to improve BER in a digital holographic data storage system. From experimental evaluations, we compared the BER performances of MMSE and blind equalization and we showed that the BER performances of MMSE and blind equalization were improved significantly compared with those before equalization.

The selective frequency analysis method is suggested in the holographic data storage system with the nyquist aperture to reduce the size of hologram. The image filter was designed with many different methods to improve the bit error rate caused by the nyquist aperture. In previous the methods of image restoration for HDS, an iteration time and a highly precise point spread function were necessary. In this paper, we describe the optical system with analytic method. Thereby, we expect our result help the researchers to design the filter.
