Abstract
A digital micromirror device (DMD) provides 2D- and 3D-scene reconstruction by displaying diffractive and holographic optical elements. The highest frame rates (tens of thousands of Hz) can be achieved if the displayed optical elements are binarized. Except for DMD applications, hologram binarization is useful for display creation, image encryption, information compression and storage, fast 3D printing, etc. Error diffusion is one of the most qualitative implementations of hologram binarization. In this paper, three group's weighting matrices of error diffusion are analyzed: 16 standard, eight dot and six diagonal matrices. Thus, 30 error diffusion methods were used for optically recorded off-axis digital hologram binarization. The quality of the image reconstruction from the binarized holograms was compared. Direct applications of error diffusion with large weighting matrices and dot diffusion provide the highest reconstruction quality. Seven metrics were used as the error diffusion threshold. Twelve bypass directions of error diffusion were analyzed. In addition, the joint application of Otsu threshold and complex bypass directions allows us to improve the quality of hologram binarization by 15%.
